Isaac Berzin is a scientist and entrepreneur in the field of sustainable microalgae. He currently serves as the founder and CTO of Vaxa — developing sustainable algae-based feed and food ingredients. The company’s production facility is located in Iceland, integrated with one of the world’s largest geothermal power production facilities.
Isaac joins us to discuss everything we need to know about algae, the issues with fish oil, sustainability, and what is next for his company, Vaxa.
“If you look at the composition of fish oil today, it’s not a clean source.”
“You can consume ⅓ of algae omega-3s, compared to fish oil, and still get the same benefit.”
“The human body reacts to your diet; it’s not going to produce the same model enzymes if you have this kind of meal or that kind of meal.”
“I don’t believe that if you’re doing the right thing, you have to suffer.”
“Do you know any plant that has 70% protein? Even meat I don’t think has 70% protein. So, algae is a super, superfood.”
