Science-Supported Nutrition

The nutritional profile of Nannochloropsis is supported by extensive scientific research, with peer-reviewed studies exploring its EPA omega-3 content, complete protein quality, antioxidants, pigments, and bioactive polysaccharides.
These components form a strong scientific foundation for supplement formulations targeting cardiometabolic support, inflammation balance, cognitive health, and overall nutritional vitality.

At Plankton First, we build on this research with controlled cultivation and gentle processing methods that preserve natural bioactivity — ensuring consistent purity and performance for advanced supplement applications.
