  • Description
    Crack open this nutritional geyser to find a high viscosity and density of rich plankton ranging from 2 – 50 micrometers.
     
    HomeBrew’s Texas Tea Phytoplankton, infused with Hydrospace PNSB, struck it rich in lipids as it contains a gusher of crude oils like omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, especially EPA. Expect a blowout of coloration in your coral when feeding Texas Tea, as it is hyper rich in carotenoids, like Beta-Carotene and Fucoxanthin. Crack open this nutritional geyser to find a high viscosity and density of rich plankton ranging from 2 – 50 micrometers. For best results, feed in a rotating regiment with HomeBrew’s Cosmopolitan and HomeBrew’s Margarita Phytoplanktons.
     
    Nutritional Profile of the Texas Tea:
     
    Proteins/Amino Acids:
     
    Protein content: Approximately 30-70% wet weight.
    Proteins involved in photosynthesis (bacteriochlorophyll proteins), nitrogen fixation, electron transport, carbon metabolism and metabolic processes.
    Key Proteins includes: photosynthetic proteins, cytochromes, ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase, and enzymes for energy production, anaerobic respiration and cellular functions.
    Amino acids form a significant portion of the protein content.
    Amino acid content: Integral to protein synthesis.
    Key amino acids: glutamine, glutamate, asparagine, aspartate, alanine, valine, glycine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, and tryptophan, arginine, cysteine, histidine, isoleucine, proline, serine, threonine, and tyrosine
    Carbohydrates:
     
    Carbohydrate content: Around 10-50% wet weight.
    Major carbohydrate: glycogen (storage polysaccharide).
    Also includes small amounts of simple sugars like glucose, fructose, laminarin, fucoidan, mannans and other polysaccharides.
    Lipids:
     
    Lipid content: Approximately 10-30% wet weight.
    Includes phospholipids (e.g., phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol) which are major components of cellular membranes, glycolipids, linoleic acid, oleic acid, and neutral lipids.
    Contains significant amounts of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), such as EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid).
    Vitamins - vitamins help facilitate key biochemical pathways and enzyme functions.
     
    Vitamin A (as β-carotene) up to 15% dry weight
    Vitamin E
    Vitamin C - Ascorbic Acid
    B-vitamins: Present in significant amounts, playing key roles in metabolic processes and enzyme function:
    Biotin, Riboflavin, Thiamine, Pantothenic acid, Niacin, Lipoic Acid, Folic Acid, Pyridoxine(B6), Cobalamin (B12), Inositol (B8), and Choline(B4): Important for specific metabolic pathways.
    Pigments:
     
    Bacteriochlorophyll a & b: Essential for photosynthesis, contributing around 2-5% of wet weight.
    chlorophyll c
    Contains carotenoids such as zeaxanthin, lycopene, lutein, fucoxanthin which help in protecting the bacterium from oxidative stress and assist in light capture.
    Extremely rich in β-Carotene
