Schizochytrium sp. a sustainable microalga rich in omega-3
Seanova has teamed up with Fermentalg to offer an omega-3-rich oil derived from Schizochytrium sp., a marine microalgae cultivated under controlled, sustainable conditions. This innovative ingredient is distinguished by its high concentration of DHA, an essential omega-3 fatty acid, and its plant-based origin, meeting the growing demand for sustainable and natural alternatives.
This oil, produced using advanced, environmentally-friendly fermentation processes, is establishing itself as a key solution in the nutraceutical industry for its nutritional properties and minimal impact on marine ecosystems.
What is Schizochytrium sp. ?
Schizochytrium sp. is a unicellular marine microalga naturally rich in omega-3 fatty acids, particularly DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). DHA is recognised for its essential role in supporting brain, heart, and vision function. It is often difficult to obtain sufficient quantities of DHA in the modern diet, which makes this microalgae an active ingredient of choice in nutraceuticals.

The benefits of DHA from Schizochytrium sp.
Cognitive health
DHA is a major structural component of the brain. It is involved in the transmission of nerve signals and contributes to the development and maintenance of cognitive functions. In children, it promotes the development of the nervous system. In adults, it plays a role in the prevention of neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease.
Visual health
DHA is a key component of photoreceptor membranes in the retina. It helps maintain normal vision and protects eye cells from damage, notably from blue light and UV rays.
Cardiovascular health
Studies show that DHA helps reduce blood triglycerides and maintain normal blood pressure. It also acts on inflammation, a major risk factor in cardiovascular disease.
Versatility for cosmetics
DHA from Schizochytrium sp. is also used in cosmetic formulations for its moisturizing properties and its role in protecting cell membranes.
For which applications choose Schizochytrium sp. ?
Omega-3s from Schizochytrium sp. offer high purity and excellent bioavailability. They are suitable for a wide range of applications, including :
- Dietary supplements: for an optimal supply of DHA, essential for the proper functioning of the nervous and cardiovascular systems.
- Cosmetics: thanks to their moisturizing and protective properties, ideal for the skin.
- Infant nutrition: to meet specific DHA needs during development.
Schizochytrium sp. is available in various forms adapted to your needs: concentrated oils, enriched or encapsulated powders. Seanova supports you in integrating this exceptional marine microalga into your formulations.
