Unlock Benefits of Marine Policosanols & Astaxanthin from Zooca®

Zooca® Calanus® Oil is naturally rich in astaxanthin and is the only marine lipid known to contain significant amounts of marine policosanols—typically 10 times more than what is found in standard policosanol supplements.

These policosanols are naturally bound to the oil’s fatty acids and form wax esters, known to support digestion and absorption. Astaxanthin gives the oil its distinct red colour and is known for the ability to prevent the oxidation of fatty acids. In Zooca® Calanus® Oil, the natural astaxanthin derived from Calanus finmarchicus plays a vital role in maintaining the oil’s long-lasting quality and stability.

With over 20 years of research, this unique, sustainable, Novel Food-approved oil offers a range of benefits, particularly for metabolic health and healthy aging.

Clinical studies have shown that Zooca® Calanus® Oil significantly enhances muscle function, improving heart pumping efficiency, major muscle group performance, and grip strength^1-4. Studies have also reported increased lean body mass, reduced fat mass^5,6, and improved insulin sensitivity⁷.

These benefits reflect Zooca®’s exceptional efficacy: in addition to this, a new review summarizes 20 years of research on Zooca® Calanus® Oil—from the biology of Calanus finmarchicus to its unique composition and proven health benefits.
