Protoga® Euglena powder
Protoga® Euglena powder
Product Introduction
Protoga® Euglena Powder is a new type of microalgae dietary nutritional food ingredient launched by Protoga Biotech. It is produced through precise fermentation using the exclusive patented strain of Euglena gracilis YYAW032. Euglena is a single-celled eukaryotic microalgae, shaped like a spindle or an oval. It can perform photosynthesis like plants and move like animals. Structurally, it is distinguished from other microalgae cells by the absence of a cell wall, making it easy to digest and absorb. With the dual characteristics of plants and animals, Euglena contains the dual nutrition of both, providing a comprehensive and balanced diet, and is known as the “Cordyceps of the water.”

Applications
The unique component of Protoga® Euglena powder, the Euglena polysaccharide β-1,3-glucan, possesses biological activities such as improving intestinal health, regulating blood lipids, reducing uric acid, enhancing immunity, and protecting against liver damage.
Nutrient-Rich Composition of Protoga® Euglena Powder
Protoga® Euglena powder is rich in various essential nutrients. As a member of the Euglena genus, which has both plant and animal characteristics, it is abundant in essential amino acids, vitamins, mineral nutrients, carotenoids, unsaturated fatty acids, and oligopeptides.
High Absorption and Conversion Rate of Protoga® Euglena Powder
Protoga® Euglena powder has an extremely high absorption and conversion rate. When the human body ingests rich vitamins and chlorophyll from plants, it cannot directly absorb these nutrients due to the lack of cellulase, which is specific to breaking down the “cell wall” found in plant cells. In contrast, Euglena, being cell wall-less, allows for the efficient digestion and absorption of both plant-based and animal-based nutrients, with an absorption rate as high as 93.1% for these nutrients.
