APPLICATION FIELDS

– Sports nutrition: plant-based protein powders, energy bars
– Dietary supplements: iodine-iron-magnesium capsules, antioxidant gummies
– Functional foods: umami broths, marine condiments, crunchy vegan snacks
– Prebiotics & gut health: soluble ulvan fibres for drinks and plant-based milks
– Clean-label reformulation: natural texturising agents (alginate, carrageenans), salt reduction via mineral-rich profiles

KEY NUTRITIONAL BENEFITS

– Up to 48% protein (dry weight) in nori; up to 19% in ulva depending on the season
– Magnesium powerhouse: 2,150–2,650 mg/100 g in sea lettuce—ten times more than dark chocolate
– Highly bioavailable iron: 156–226 mg/100 g in aonori—ten times more than black pudding
– Polysaccharides (ulvans, fucoidans): with prebiotic, antioxidant and texturising properties
– Custom blends available enriched in proteins, sugars, iodine, or minerals for your clean-label formulations

LOCAL & SUSTAINABLE SOURCING

– Hand-harvested under OFB supervision on the Loix and Ars-en-Ré sites:
30 t/year of ulva, 12 t of nori, 8 t of wakame, 6.5 t of fucus – securing consistent industrial supply
– Batch-level traceability and low-temperature drying (< 40 °C) preserve proteins, minerals and polyphenols

WHAT WE OFFER

– 2–4 mm flakes: for salad toppings, granolas, spice blends
