Responsibility
SagaNatura cares about the environment. We make every effort being responsible during harvesting of our precious Angelica archangelica by cutting leaves of plants in a way so the plant will be able to grow and provide leaves in the following year. We also protect the environment by hand harvesting thus no heavy machinery are used that would otherwise harm the environment.
The SagaNatura microalgae culture utilizes only pure Icelandic water and our cultivation system is designed in a way to minimize water loss by evaporation. We also only use clean energy and the latest energy saving LED lighting technology to support the growth of our dear microalgae.
Innovation
Innovation is the name of the game at SagaNatura, we are continuously developing and testing new products and manufacturing equipment. This spirit has resulted in a patent pending microalgae culturing technology (photobioreactor) that utilizes significantly less space and energy per kg microalgae biomass than other traditional photobioreactors.
We also offer innovative products such as SagaPro and AstaLýsi which are unique on the world market. We have many other fantastic product offerings and our Product development department is continually working on new formulations in collaboration with our clients that are positioned all around the world.
Science
