Plankton: a brief explanation
Reading time: 1-3 min
Plankton may sound like something from the ocean, but it is one of the most complete sources of nutrition available. In this short article, we explain what plankton is, why it is so special and how you can use it as support in your daily routine.
Why plankton?
Phytoplankton form the basis of the ocean’s food chain. Virtually all marine life depends on it directly or indirectly. This is not without reason: it contains an exceptionally broad spectrum of nutrients.
Plankton is not a quick fix, but a broad nutritional foundation. It supports your body at the cellular level by simply doing what nutrition is supposed to do: nourish. With its combination of fatty acids, proteins, antioxidants and trace minerals, it fits well within a holistic approach to health where your body gets what it needs to function on its own.
We normally get these nutrients through fish. This is because fish eat plankton. So with plankton, you skip a step in the food chain.
This has a number of advantages:
- Plant-based source of omega-3 (suitable for vegetarians and vegans)
- No loading of heavy metals or microplastics
- Direct absorption of nutrients, without an intermediate step
Within the thousands of species of phytoplankton, Nannochloropsis gaditana is one of the most researched and nutrient-rich varieties. It is bred specifically for human consumption.
