Health Enhancement Products establishes formal partnership with Arizona Center for Algae Technology and Innovation and ATP3

In Michigan, Health Enhancement Products has executed a formal partnership with the Arizona Center for Algae Technology and Innovation, and the Algae Testbed Public-Private Partnership. Algal technology has focused on lipids such as DHA and EPA for health applications, and on oils for use as biofuels. To date, only a handful of high-value bioactives are farmed from algae, astaxanthin in particular, and affordable biofuel remains elusive. With a decade of sustained investment and scientific progress, a wealth of technology and expertise has been created. That expertise is believed to be positioned to vault algae to the forefront of high-value bioactive production. The newly formed relationship with AzCATI has rendered the HEPI’s internal grow facility redundant, and it has been closed as of April 30, 2013. The Company’s proprietary cultures were transferred to AzCATI.
