Natural Microalgae Euglena Powder for Health Nutrition
1. Euglena belongs to the algae family, together with kelp and seaweed. It has been supporting life on earth since the pre-historic era. Rich in nutrients, Euglena has 14 vitamins like Vitamins C & D, 9 minerals like Iron & Calcium, 18 amino acids like Lysine & Alanine, 11 unsaturated fatty acids like DHA & EPA and 7 others like Chlorophyll & Paramylon (β-glucan).
2. As a plant-animal hybrid, Euglena is rich in nutrients commonly found in vegetables, such as folic acid and fibre, as well as nutrients in meat and fish, such as omega oils and vitamin B-1. It combines animal's locomotive ability to change its cell shape as well as plant's characteristics like growing with photosynthesis.

Benefits of Euglena
Euglena has various powerful benefits, ranging from health, cosmetics to sustainability.
- As a food supplement, Euglena contains Paramylon (β-glucan) which helps remove undesirable substances like fats and cholesterol, enhances the immune system, and reduces the level of uric acid in the blood.
- Euglena has no cell wall. Its cell is surrounded by a membrane mainly made of protein, resulting in its high nutritional value and efficient nutrient absorption to boost and restore cellular activity.
- Euglena is recommended for regulating bowel movements, improving energy levels and supplementing those who have no time to prepare nutritious meals.
- In cosmetics and beauty products, Euglena helps to make skin smoother, more elastic and radiant.
- It increases the production of dermal fibroblasts, which provides additional defences against ultraviolet light and helps keep skin looking youthful.
- It also triggers the formation of collagen, an important element for resilient and anti-aging skincare.
- In hair and scalp care products, Euglena helps to restore damaged hair and provide moisture and bounce to create healthy-looking hair.
- In the environmental application, Euglena can grow by converting CO2 into biomass through photosynthesis, thus reducing CO2 emittance.
- Euglena can be used to feed livestock and aquaculture due to its high protein and high nutrition content.
- Euglena-based biofuels can soon replace fossil fuels to power aircrafts and automobiles, creating a sustainable 'low carbon society'.
Uses of Euglena
Euglena can be used in five the different fields of Food, Fibre, Feed, Fertiliser.
- Food: Euglena provides the proper nutrition and is easily transportable in powder form to developing countries, thus helps to eradicate malnutrition. Even in developed countries, Euglena can serve as a healthier food choice to fight diabetes and obesity.
- Fibre: Euglena has potential applications in new fibre materials using paramylon. Studies have shown paramylon as an effective fibre material with special properties such as wound healing effects.
- Feed: As Euglena is rich in protein and nutritional value, it can be used as feed for livestock and aquafarm fish.
- Fertiliser: Euglena feed may decrease the mortality rate of young fishes, and the residue from Euglena after biofuel extraction can be used as feed and fertiliser, avoiding unnecessary waste.
