NutraPlus from Nutra-Kol Nutrition Solutions
NutraPlus is a new liquid feed for marine ornamentals and the only feed in the world solely based on pure Dunaliella salina algae. In the marine environment, D. salina appears green, however, in conditions of high salinity and light intensity, the microalgae turns red due to the production of protective carotenoids in the cells. The D. salina is harvested without any harmful solvents or chemicals and the carotenoids (the highly-prized anti-oxidant pigments responsible for the red color) are then extracted for use in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, nutritional supplements, aquaculture feeds and food coloring. The product contains no pathogens and has very low bacteria levels due to the natural antibacterial qualities of the paste.
NutraPlus contains high levels of carotenes, minerals, vitamins and fatty acids that are ideal for any filter feeders, fish, and other marine organisms. It enhances and brightens the natural colors of any organism from sponges and corals to tropical fish kept in artificial conditions such as aquariums. The NutraPlus line of products includes several feeds scientifically designed to address the specific requirements of different marine organisms. The products are ideal as a sole food source for filter feeders, food additive for any fish and crustacean species, as well as replacement of traditional green microalgae in ‘green water’ systems. High in omega 3’s, NutraPlus additives can be used to enrich live food organisms such as rotifers, Artemia and copepods. Used in commercial aquariums worldwide NutraPlus is now available for home aquariums.
