At Oceanz Vital, we’re passionate about bringing something new to the world of nutritional diversity. Our operations are grounded in te ao Māori values, particularly kaitiakitanga and manaakitanga. By transforming responsibly sourced marine byproducts from Aotearoa, New Zealand into high value, full spectrum, nutritionally diverse products through clean CO₂ extraction, we honour the mauri of the ocean while reducing waste and protecting natural resources.
We’re also proud to partner with local fishers, helping them earn more from each catch while strengthening coastal communities. For us it’s about creating something positive for both people and the planet.
Our small team combines deep knowledge of the marine industry, extraction science and engineering and product development to create innovative marine products. These products are packed with unique nutrients to support your health. We launched Oceanz Vital because we believe everyone deserves access to naturally derived diversity that has a real impact on people’s lives.
