Zooca® (Calanus)

An innovative patented Calanus-based marine oil for a sustainable supply of bioactive lipids

Zooca® is a premium patented marine oil, extracted from Calanus finmarchicus, a small crustacean living in the cold, pristine waters of the North Atlantic. Unlike fish or krill oils, Zooca®'s omega-3 fatty acids are naturally present as wax esters, a unique lipid structure that allows for progressive digestion and prolonged nutrient release.

This marine oil naturally contains EPA and DHA omega-3s, as well as specific fatty acids, natural antioxidants, and bioactive compounds that contribute to maintaining cellular metabolism. Thanks to its original structure, Zooca® offers an innovative approach to cardiovascular, metabolic support, and inflammatory balance.

Today, Zooca® is recognized as one of the most innovative marine oils in the field of functional nutrition.

Why did we choose Zooca®?

• Patented marine oil derived from Calanus finmarchicus
• Omega-3s naturally present as wax esters
• Gradual release of bioactive lipids
• Several clinical studies in humans
• Excellent purity, excellent stability, and excellent tolerance

Scientific evidence

Level of scientific evidence

★★★★☆Good to high

• Several clinical studies in humans
• Numerous scientific publications on Calanus lipids
• Innovative patented ingredient
• Documented safety, quality, and nutritional interest

Scientific note: Unlike ingredients such as Setria®, Cynatine®, or OVODERM®, the specific clinical literature for Zooca® is more recent and still less abundant. A proof level of ★★★★☆ is therefore more rigorous and scientifically justified to date.
