Marine oils Photo © : Calanus Seanova – a major player in the food supplements business Located in Finistère, Brittany, Seanova is as close as possible to the ocean and its wonders. The company, which now has 17 employees, was born out of a man's passion for marine biotechnology and health nutrition. Seanova’s main goal was the enhancement of marine and plant lipids. The blend the employees’ various skills makes it possible to support customers in the development of their projects, their formulations and to offer personalized solutions. Efficiency, innovation and respect for the environment are at the core of the company. The origin of Seanova After graduating in oceanography and marine biology, Stéphane Lozachmeur, its founder, began his career in a scientific research center in order to study the micro-nutrition of fish larvae. While the impact of nutrients and their quality on the development and on the animal health is very important, the entrepreneur quickly understood that humans require nutrients of very high quality. It is on these bases that the Seanova’s adventure began in 1994, in Brittany, in order to offer the most stable, the purest and the most natural marine ingredients. The marine environment is a source of wellbeing for humans. From the start, Seanova recognized the potential of oils naturally rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Thanks to the infinite richness of the oceans, the French company started to specialize in the enhancement of lipids and marine actives. Fully in line with the demand for naturality expected by consumers, Seanova carefully selected marine active ingredients that were perfectly answering the needs of the constantly growing health & and well-being market. 28 No. 2 August/September 2021

Marine oils Aware of nutrition and health issues, the Breton team is working to offer a range of marine oils highly concentrated in omega-3 Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). It also offers vegetable oils rich in omega 3 and omega 6 (hemp, chia, borage, evening primrose). The company uses eco-certified resources, always with a desire to preserve the environment. Seanova oils benefit from superior stability, thanks to the patented XO ® process. It is an enrichment in natural antioxidants, such as rosemary, which preserves the nutritional and organoleptic qualities as well as the shelf life of oils (marine and vegetable). The company’s core business is to offer inno vative formulations from the sea and plants. They formulate oils, capsules, powders, microcapsules for their customers specialized in nutraceuticals, agrifood and veterinary products. Epax ® is a world leader in concentrated omega-3 fatty acids. Using high quality, sustainable and traceable raw materials only, Epax ® provides scientifically proven, health specific, safe and pure omega-3 formulas. The oils come from small wild blue fish (like herring, anchovies, tuna, mackerel, sardines) caught along the cold waters of the Chilean and Peruvian coasts. The sustainability of natural resources requires strict compliance with quotas. These quotas are licensed by the Chilean and Peruvian governments. Fishing is limited to two catches per year and is interrupted during the fish breeding season. Preferred species are fish with a rapid reproduction cycle (from 2 to 3 years) and a high fertility rate. Epax’ commitment: Purity, Quality, Innovation – The best omega-3 fatty acids EPA/DHA ingredients on the market Calanus ® /Zooca ® : As a pioneer, Zooca ® is developing a new bioindustry based on the marine copepod Calanus Finmarchicus, one of the largest renewable and exploitable resources on the planet. Zooca ® has developed a patented fishing technology, which allows responsible fishing, with a minimum of bycatch. Photo © : Seanova High quality partners Seanova can rely on the high quality of its partners to perform and maintain a upmost level of standards in terms of quality, efficiency, responsibility and sustainable development. A long-term strategic alliance with its suppliers guarantees full traceability from source to finished ingredients. Preserving the resources and well-being of the oceans begins with choosing the best quality and having real ethics. The traceability of raw materials must be perfect. The raw materials must come from the revaluation of fishing to avoid the problems of wasting resources. They must respect the reproduction cycles of species in order to guarantee their sustainability. The company has partnered with the leaders of marine ingredients. These partners use certified eco-responsible fishing techniques that respect the environment (no by-catch of species such as dolphins, whales, etc.). No. 2 August/September 2021
