Lithothamnium
Marine origin that delivers performance.
What is Lithothamnium?
Lithothamnium is a calcareous marine algae that, throughout its natural cycle, forms a matrix rich in calcium, magnesium, macro- and micronutrients.
At Oceana, this qualified marine origin is transformed into solutions for Plant Nutrition and Animal Nutrition, connecting traceability, bioavailability, and technical application.
Why does this origin make a difference?
Lithothamnium’s physical structure has high porosity, which increases its contact surface and enhances nutrient reactivity. This characteristic contributes to more efficient release, making its matrix highly bioavailable.
In its composition, Lithothamnium brings together:
Macro- and micronutrients
Biogenic carbonates of plant origin
Amino acids and polysaccharides
Organic compounds in the algae’s cell wall
The difference is in the matrix
Not every mineral source delivers the same technical value.
In Lithothamnium, marine origin, porous structure, and natural composition form a differentiated nutritional matrix.
It is this combination that enables Oceana to turn origin into performance, with solutions designed for soil, plants, and animals.
Lithothamnium in Agriculture
In the field, Lithothamnium is applied in solutions focused on soil fertility, plant nutrition, and productive performance.
Through Algen®, Oceana brings this marine-origin matrix to agricultural systems seeking greater efficiency in nutrient availability, a better root environment, and greater production consistency.

Lithothamnium in Animal Nutrition
In animal nutrition, Lithothamnium is used as a marine-origin mineral source, especially due to the presence of highly bioavailable calcium and magnesium.
With LithoNutri®, Oceana offers a solution for formulations in feeds, premixes, mineral cores, mineral supplements, and protein-energy supplements.
