Production of life'sDHA™

Martek’s manufacturing plants specialize in the production and refinement of DHA oil from algae. The process begins with the initial algae cell culture and results in a highly purified oil rich in DHA. Martek’s microalgae are grown in fermentors that range in size from 80,000 to 260,000 liters. The algae are then harvested and processed to extract the DHA-rich oil. The finished product is a clear, amber-colored oil rich in DHA.
