Marine Phytoplankton Supplements

What is marine phytoplankton?

Marine phytoplankton are tiny single-celled algae that grow in the ocean and sit at the base of the marine food chain — the same organisms that feed everything from krill to whales. As a supplement, phytoplankton is grown in controlled conditions and concentrated into a nutrient-dense superfood. It naturally contains omega-3 fatty acids (including EPA), antioxidant pigments such as carotenoids and chlorophyll, and a range of trace minerals, which is why it's taken as an everyday nutritional top-up rather than for any single nutrient.

Forms of marine phytoplankton

• Powder — pure phytoplankton you mix into water, juice, or a smoothie; the most flexible for adjusting the amount.
• Tablets — pre-measured daily tablets if you'd rather not taste it.
• Liquid — drops or a liquid concentrate taken on their own or in water.
• For pets — some phytoplankton is made for cats and dogs as a food topper.

How to use marine phytoplankton

Phytoplankton is potent by volume, so servings are small — often a fraction of a teaspoon of powder or a couple of tablets a day. Many people take it like a greens or superfood supplement, on its own or blended into a smoothie. Start at the label's serving and adjust from there. Marine phytoplankton sold in Canada carries a Natural Product Number (NPN) or is sold as a food. If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a health condition, check with your practitioner first.
