The ocean’s
The ULTANA difference
ULTANA Phytoplankton is a synergistic blend of different phytoplankton strains, carefully selected after years of scientific research. It features an impressive array of over 75 essential nutrients, including minerals, vitamins, omega-3 essential fatty acids, antioxidants and the full spectrum of amino acids. ULTANA Phytoplankton has the advantage of being a natural, unprocessed wholefood, rather than a processed vitamin. This is a factor which will appeal to many people seeking nutritional supplements to ensure that they are getting the nutrients they need. ULTANA believes nature knows best. Research suggest the body is better able to absorb and utilise nutrients in a wholefood form, rather than a processed one.
H ave you heard about phytoplankton, Mother Nature’s superfood from the sea? We dive deep to bring you the latest on this health hero. Phytoplankton are believed to have been the first living single-celled organisms on Earth. These ancient, microscopic marine plants form the base of the oceanic food chain, and they are responsible for over half of the Earth’s oxygen production, making them a sustainability superhero! Marine phytoplankton is also one of the most nutritionally diverse wholefoods on the planet. Phytoplankton is a nutritional power- house, providing these five key benefits: 1 Bioavailable omegas Essential fatty acids, or EFAs, are vital for good health. However, they are not produced naturally in the body, so therefore humans, like all animals, must take them in via their food. Every gramof ULTANA Phytoplankton contains more than 120 mg of EFAs, and over 50 per cent of these EFAs are long- chain omega-3 lipids, including EPA. This
is why Phytality Nutrition is permitted, under the guidelines of the government agency Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ), to make the statement that its ULTANA Phytoplankton powder is “a good source of omega-3”. We believe that this is a first in Australia: a wholefood powder providing over 60 mg of omega-3 long-chain fatty acids (as EPA and/or DHA) per one gram serve. Most importantly, the majority of ULTANA’s omega lipids are present in the more bioavailable ‘polar-bound’ lipid form. Polar-bound lipids, which are also found in krill oil, have been scientifically proven to be better quality in terms of bioavailability to the body, compared to fish oil lipids that are generally in the lower quality ‘triglyceride’ form. 2 Antioxidant powerhouse Phytoplankton contains potent xanthophylls, including zeaxanthin, a
powerful antioxidant that has been shown to support eye health by defending the macular region of the eye. ULTANA Phytoplankton contains 56 mg
of zeaxanthin per one gram serve, which
