Science-Supported Pet Health

Microalgae are increasingly recognized as sustainable, nutrient-dense ingredients for companion animals. Reviews highlight their ability to provide long-chain omega-3s, proteins, vitamins, minerals, pigments, and antioxidants within a single biomass (RSD Journal 2022).
Nannochloropsis species, in particular, are proposed as viable alternatives to fish-based omega-3 sources due to their high EPA content and clean cultivation potential (Oxford 2024).

Using NannOcea® allows brands to formulate with a traceable, EU-grown microalga that supports both nutritional performance and sustainability goals.
Its complete amino acid profile promotes muscle development, while omega-3s contribute to joint flexibility, skin and coat health, heart function, and cognitive performance. Naturally rich in fibre, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, it helps maintain a balanced immune system and healthy digestion1, supporting lifelong vitality in pets of all ages.
