Why Choose MARPHYL's Wild Multi-Species Phytoplankton?
MARPHYL sources its marine phytoplankton from the cold, pristine waters of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. Here, multiple wild species are harvested sustainably, ensuring a broader nutrient profile than single-strain cultivated alternatives. This organic, Non-GM, vegan supplement is free from soy, gluten, and peanuts. Each batch is manufactured in a GMP-certified facility and holds a Health Canada Natural Product Number (NPN: 80036064), reflecting strict quality and safety standards. The phytoplankton is gently dried and encapsulated without synthetic binders or fillers, preserving its natural nutrient integrity. Users often appreciate the small capsule size, which is easy to swallow or can be opened and mixed into smoothies, water, or juices.
Key Nutrients in Marine Phytoplankton
Packed with a diverse range of micronutrients, MARPHYL's phytoplankton contains vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12, C, and E, along with beta-carotene, chlorophyll, and carotenoids. These vitamins support energy metabolism, immune function, and cellular protection. This supplement is also rich in trace minerals such as magnesium, zinc, selenium, and iodine, which are vital for enzymatic reactions and overall health. Additionally, it provides essential amino acids and omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, including DHA and EPA, important for brain health, cardiovascular function, and healthy inflammatory responses. The natural chlorophyll gives phytoplankton its vibrant green colour and may support the body's natural cleansing processes, while antioxidants like carotenoids help neutralise free radicals.
What Is Marine Phytoplankton?
Marine phytoplankton are microscopic single-celled algae that form the foundation of the ocean's food chain. These tiny organisms are considered one of the most nutritionally dense foods on the planet. MARPHYL's supplement harnesses the power of wild-harvested phytoplankton, delivering 150 mg per capsule of organic, multi-species algae. Unlike many land-based superfoods, marine phytoplankton offers a unique combination of trace minerals, antioxidants, essential fatty acids, and vitamins in a form your body can readily recognise and use. Because phytoplankton sit at the base of the marine ecosystem, they accumulate a wide array of nutrients, making them a comprehensive wholefood supplement.
How to Incorporate Marine Phytoplankton Into Your Routine
For general wellbeing, take one capsule daily with water. If you prefer, open the capsule and stir the powder into a smoothie, juice, or water. The mild, slightly marine flavour blends well with fruits and greens. Start with one capsule per day and adjust as needed. As a wholefood, it can be taken with or without food, though taking it with a meal containing healthy fats may enhance absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and omega-3s. As with any supplement, consult a healthcare professional before adding it to your regimen, especially if pregnant, nursing, or managing a medical condition.
Frequently Asked Questions About Marine Phytoplankton
Is marine phytoplankton the same as spirulina or chlorella?
No. While all are types of algae, marine phytoplankton is harvested from ocean waters and contains a different nutrient profile. It is smaller than spirulina and chlorella, which may allow for better absorption. MARPHYL's product is wild multi-species, offering a variety of nutrients not typically found in single-strain cultivated algae.
How long does one bottle last?
Each bottle contains 30 vegan capsules. At one capsule per day, a bottle provides a one-month supply.
Can I take this supplement if I have a shellfish allergy?
Marine phytoplankton is not a shellfish but a microalgae, generally considered safe for those with shellfish allergies. However, if you have concerns, consult your healthcare provider.
Is the product sustainably harvested?
Yes. MARPHYL harvests phytoplankton from wild, multi-species blooms in British Columbia using methods that minimize environmental impact. The product is organic and certified by Health Canada.
