From ocean to outcome: Only the freshest seaweed

Afrikelp uses freshly harvested seaweed in our precision processing in order to offer a standardized, high-efficacy solution farmers can trust.

FROM OCEAN TO FIELD

Our Production Process

01.

Sustainable Harvesting

Hand-harvested Ecklonia maxima fronds under strict environmental guidelines.

02.

Fresh kelp

Freshly harvest Kelp is processed immediately after harvest to ensure sensitive, valuable compounds are optimally extracted.

03.

Cold Micronization Process (CMP)

Our proprietary mechanical extraction process does not use heat, pressures, enzymes or chemicals in order to protect sensitive compounds and preserve the full biological potential of Ecklonia maxima.

04.

Highly concentrated kelp extract

An intermediate, highly concentrated product is extracted, allowing for further in-depth analysis and QC.

05.

Standardization

Every batch is analyzed and standardized to match field dosage recommendations and bioactivity, verified by independent laboratories.

06.

Triple quality control

Every batch undergoes our triple-step quality control protocol. This includes testing for bacterial and fungal growth, LC-MS analysis and measurement of beneficial compounds, and standardization. Afrikelp is also tested independently to ensure consistent efficacy.

07.

Bioassay

Each batch undergoes thorough analysis to ensure all quality parameters are met. In our in-house mung bean assay laboratory, we count millions of roots annually – guaranteeing that every batch consistently delivers on our promise of quality and reliability.

TRIED. TESTED. PROVEN

R&D at Afrikelp: Our four-step approach

We are deeply committed to rigorous processes of research and development using the latest science to ensure every batch of Afrikelp delivers consistent, proven results.

Bio-assays: We test biological activity against synthetic standards for consistency.
Growing rooms: We assess early-stage plant responses in controlled conditions.
Greenhouses: We simulate real-world growing environments for deeper insights.
Field trials: We validate product performance across crops and regions.
