Our products
We deliver gently processed ingredients with high nutritional value and unique functional properties.
Clean and pure Energy
The small crustacean Calanus finmarchicus is the most numerous animal species on the planet, and constitutes by far the largest harvestable biomass production in the productive Norwegian Sea.
Calanus finmarchicus is an herbivorous zooplankter with a one-year lifespan. It is a complete and pure energy- and nutrient source in the marine food web, and serves as an excellent raw material for Arctic Marine Bioactives.

Increased glucose tolerance, reduced deposition of intra-abdominal fat and increased oxygen uptake are some of the effects that have been documented, and that are currently being further investigated in several human clinical trials.
