Phytoplankton are responsible for creating most of Earth’s oxygen, allowing our planet to sustain all plant and animal life. Scientists have confirmed that close to 90% of the Earth’s oxygen is created by phytoplankton. Phytoplankton absorbs most of the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which helps to keep the ecosystem balanced and the planet healthy.
Phytoplankton have excellent photosynthetic properties and are over three times more efficient than other plants in using light. They contain 400 times more energy than any other plant. According to an article in the Yale University Journal of Marine Research, the Earth’s phytoplankton store 63 billion kilowatts of power.
Phytoplankton are the base of the marine food chain and are consumed by hundreds of species of krill, which in turn feed many other fish populations. They are a primary food source for the largest and longest-living mammals of the oceans, the great blue whale.
The ULTANA™ Phytoplankton product is grown in state-of-the-art controlled facilities, and not harvested from the sea. By not harvesting our Phytoplankton from the sea, we are not competing with marine life for their key source of food.
Each time we choose ULTANA™ Phytoplankton instead of fish for our Omega-3 EFAs and nutrition we are helping to combat overfishing of our seas and supporting the regeneration of the ocean!
Phytoplankton not only boosts your nutrition, but they are also nature’s energy source for sustaining our precious planet, Mother Earth!
