Our mission:
TO INCREASE THE WORLD’S ACCESS TO EPA & DHA OMEGA-3
In the 1980s, NASA asked scientists to solve the challenge of growing food in space, where sustainability is a matter of survival. They discovered algae that produce high levels of omega-3, essential nutrients for life. A few of them went on to create a company, which ultimately gave rise to Veramaris and our algal oil.
35 years of intensive R&D efforts has made Veramaris a leader in algal technology. Now, the breakthrough:
nutritionally richer algae on an unprecedented scale.
At long last a realistic alternative to fish oil – the next generation algal oil:
- A complete alternative to fish oil, with EPA, DHA and ARA.
- Omega-3 concentration of more than 50%, increasing levels in fish.
- Extra supply security with large scale production providing over 15% of the global industry requirement.
This exciting innovation gives aquaculture an additional and much needed source of EPA & DHA omega-3 allowing salmon farming to grow sustainably. Veramaris algal oil is nature’s richest source of EPA & DHA that will reinforce salmon’s position as a fish for health. From its origins in space travel, Veramaris algal oil contributes to FAO’s vision of producing six times more farmed seafood.
