Scallop-derived plasmalogen supplements
Production Area
Our plasmalogen supplements are made from Japanese scallop mantles cultivated in the Okhotsk Sea, one of the cleanest waters in the world. The annual production of scallop adductor muscles from aquaculture is 497,000 tons in Japan (2020). Besides domestic consumption, 40% to 60% of them are exported to China, where scallops sell high. Scallop adductor muscles are of great strategic importance to Japan as marine resources. In contrast to the massive consumption of adductor muscles, scallop mantles are largely underutilized except for the limited use as dried products. Our supplements are made from plasmalogens, essential to life, which are extracted and purified from these scallop mantles with the patented technology.
