- Astaxanthin: 120–150 mg/kg
- Phospholipids/choline/TMAO: natural feeding stimulants
Spirulina Powder:
- Vitamins: B1 (3.5–4.8 mg/100 g), B2 (4–5.5 mg/100 g), B12 (0.32–0.36 mg/100 g), E (12.5–100 mg/100 g)
- Protein: 55–70%
- Carbohydrates: 15–25%
- Lipids: 6–8%
- Minerals: 7–9%
- Carotenoids (beta-carotene, zeaxanthin): 177–580 mg/100g
Propylene Glycol:
- Function: Soluble carrier for lipids and powders; humectant to maintain suspension and prevent crystallization
- Purity: USP/Food Grade 99.5%
Tocopherol (Vitamin E):
- Function: Natural antioxidant preservative to protect marine lipids
Pharmaceutical Grade & Propylene Glycol
- Maximum Purity: Pharmaceutical grade and USP propylene glycol meet the highest safety and contaminant standards, ensuring marine livestock receive only the cleanest nutrients.
- Enhanced Stability: Propylene glycol acts as a humectant and solvent, maintaining dispersion of krill oils and spirulina compounds at 27–30 °C for a 9–12 month shelf life.
- Strict Consistency: Rigorous manufacturing control of all ingredients guarantees reliable dosing and bioavailability without batch variation.
- Livestock Safety: Trace contaminants tolerated in food grade products are eliminated, safeguarding sensitive corals, fish, and invertebrates.
- Professional Assurance: Distinctly formulates a premium feed for advanced hobbyists and public aquariums seeking uncompromised quality.
| Grade & Carrier | Typical Use | Purity Standards | Contaminant Levels | Consistency |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Food Grade | Human/Pet Food | High | Some Allowed | Good |
| Pharmaceutical Grade | Medicine/Aquarium Feed | Highest | Extremely Low | Strictest |
| USP Propylene Glycol | Solvent/Carrier/Humectant | ≥99.5% Purity | Minimal Impurities | Uniform |
Shelf Life & Storage
Room Temperature (27–30 °C): 9–12 Months
- Antarctic Krill & Spirulina: Retain bioactive compounds and nutritional integrity for 9–12 months when preserved with tocopherol and propylene glycol.
- Propylene Glycol Carrier: Prevents phase separation and maintains homogeneity at elevated temperatures.
- Tocopherol Protection: Effectively inhibits lipid oxidation, preserving EPA/DHA levels above 80% for over 12 months.
Storage Recommendations:
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Keep bottle tightly sealed when not in use.
- Refrigerate after opening to extend freshness to 12–18 months.
- Monitor for color change or off-odors as quality indicators.
Key Benefits
- Multi-Species Nutrition: Feeds corals, marine fish, shrimp, and invertebrates supporting a balanced reef ecosystem.
- Superior Coloration & Immunity: Astaxanthin and carotenoids enhance pigmentation and disease resistance.
- Optimal Growth & Vitality: High protein and marine omega-3s fuel healthy development and energy.
- Clean Water Maintenance: Balanced 10:1 nitrate to phosphate ratio helps prevent algal blooms.
- Advanced Stability: Propylene glycol and tocopherol ensure product integrity in tropical climates.
- Transparent Sourcing: Only sustainably produced, traceable, high-grade ingredients.
Directions for Use
- Dosage: Add 1–2 ml per 100L daily.
- Phosphate Adjustment:
- If PO₄ < 0.01 ppm: Increase feeding by 25–50%.
- If PO₄ > 0.10 ppm: Reduce feeding or enhance filtration.
- Instructions: Shake well before use. Can be broadcast or target fed. Adjust based on livestock response and/or water tests.
