Nutrients
There is no other natural food or supplement of equal size. It’s entirely vegetable and has been at the beginning of the food chain since the creation of the earth.
Our microalgae contain only natural nutrients including:
- Elementary vitamins,
- Essential fatty acids omega-3 EPA phospholipids
- Omega-6, omega-7, omega-9 fatty acids
- Amino acids,
- Minerals and trace elements,
- Antioxidants,
- Pigments,
- Enzymes.
With the introduction of our pure Dutch Plant Power Supplements, we consume, among others durable fatty acids without damaging our fragile oceans and its inhabitants.
VITAMINS
The dietary supplements of Plankton Holland contain ten of the thirteen necessary vitamins or provides the building blocks for it. Vitamins are nutrients which our body needs to function properly. We get these from our daily diet, i.e. what we eat and drink, we need this in relatively small amounts. Just micro- or milligrams.
FATTY ACIDS
Omega-3 fatty acids fall into the category of polyunsaturated fatty acids. They are also called the 'n-3 fatty acids'. Particularly well known are alpha-linolenic acid (abbreviated as ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).
ALA originates mainly from vegetable sources, the other fatty acids mainly occur in the EPA / DHA Primary source Plankton and therefore also in fish and shellfish. EPA is a building block for DHA. EPA is converted to DHA as required.
MINERALS | TRACE ELEMENTS
Nutrients like minerals and trace elements, are substances that the body cannot produce. They are, among other things, necessary for the regulation of enzymes and hormones.
The difference between minerals and trace elements are the quantity in which the body needs them. One needs more minerals than of trace elements.
ANTIOXIDANTS
Antioxidants contribute to a healthy balance in our alkaline state. They have several important functions in cleaning and support the concentration of oxygen in our body.
Besides all this, it boosts antioxidant metabolism and cell changes and they contribute to the absorption of nutrients. The main antioxidants are vitamins E and C, beta carotene, selenium and zinc, sulfur and manganese.
AMINO ACIDS
There are eight amino acids are essential for humans because the body cannot produce them independently, and is therefore dependent on an external supply.
Our Plankton contain eighteen of the twenty total amino acids that have been laid in human genetic material, including all essential and amino acids that are meaningful to the immune system. Those who want to be and continue to remain healthy should ingest enough protein.
An additional benefit of a diet with sufficient protein is that it helps us to keep our weight stable. Proteins ensure that we feel satisfied after eating and also contribute to the maintenance of our muscle tissue.
