These algae species are mainly found on the cold coasts of the North Atlantic. Important collection areas are the coasts of Norway, Ireland and Canada (Atlantic coast). There, brown algae grow in tidal zones on rocks and are adapted to strong water movement and high nutrient content.

Production
In water, these algae appear olive green to brown, with long, ribbon-like thalli that can grow to several metres in length. They are characterised by gas-filled bladders (pneumatocysts) that aid buoyancy. The growth is branched, tough and flexible.
Ascophyllum powder FEED grade (AAOO0886)
Ascophyllum nodosum
brown algae
The algae are mainly harvested in the wild, using knives or specially developed cutting tools to separate the upper part of the plant without damaging the adhesive organ. After harvesting, the algae are washed, dried at low temperature and finally ground into powder.
Knotweed powder is used as a functional additive, e.g. for dogs, horses and farm animals. It aids digestion, coat quality and immune defence. The raw material is rich in minerals, trace elements, antioxidants and natural polysaccharides such as alginates and fucoidans.
