This is the flake form of Cyclop-eeze These exceptional little critters are selectively bred, biologically engineered microorganism which are cultured in a pristine arctic lake. The Cyclop-eeze are a decapod (10 legged) microscopic crustacean that are instantly characterized by their intense “blood orange” coloration. In fact, the Cyclop-eeze contain the highest known concentration of the fundamental and critical biological pigment Astaxanthene, accounting for their striking coloration. Complimenting this incredible pigmentation are previously unknown levels of the Highly Unsaturated Fatty Acids (HUFA’s) especially those of the famed “omega-3” family. These highest levels of omega-3 HUFA’s are essential for larval aquaculture applications and typically exceed forty times (40 X) those obtained from hatching the highest quality Artemia eggs. Cyclop-eeze are voraciously consumed by all animals because they are very rich in the attractant Betaine as well as other palatability factors. Experimental test results at leading academic institutions indicate that the Cyclop-eeze are highly stimulatory to the immune systems of most aquatic animals thus leading to greatly improved survival. Significant improvement in growth rates [an exceptional “Feed Conversion Ratio” (FCR)] indicates that Cyclop-eeze contain exceptional benefits, which meet and exceed traditional feedings of Artemia nauplii and inert, formulated diets.

The CYCLOP-EEZE® are a powerful tool, which transfer large amounts of strategic biochemicals to aquatic animals, terrestrial animals and humans. The bioengin-eering and mass culture of the organism has been the subject of intensive research and development by the Argent Labor-atories Group.
As Argent Laboratories has been in the forefront of aquaculture health management for three decades the management found importance in developing a substance that would assist the World Aquaculture Com-munity in gaining "freedom" from oppressive Artemia cyst prices and the expensive and laborious practice of supplementing inadequate levels of Highly Unsaturated Fatty Acids (HUFA) in freshly hatched Artemia nauplii and rotifers.
The CYCLOP-EEZE® are best described as a NUTRACEUTICAL (a nutri-tional pharmaceutical) which, when properly applied, will reward the aquaculturist, the veterinarian or the physician with incredible results.

There has emerged a fundamental body of knowledge that is shared by Aquaculturists, Veterinarians and Medical Doctors concerning the role of two pivotal classes of biological molecules in life. These are The Antioxidants and the Highly Unsaturated Fatty Acids (HUFA's), particularly those of the "omega-3" family.  |
Copious amounts of research indicate that the role of Carotenoid pigments, especially astaxanthene are very important, if not strategic in limiting cellular damage and hence aging. In fact, Astaxanthene has been proven to be able to "scavenge" harmful free radicals within the human as well as animal body.
The bio-pigment Astaxanthene plays many other critical roles in aquatic and terrestrial animals (including man). These functions include, but are not limited to: |
CYCLOP-EEZE® act as a "vector" projecting essential nutrients in unprecedented concentrations into aquatic and terrestrial animals. |

CYCLOP-EEZE® also contain unbeliev-able levels of HUFA! These levels are "orders of magnitude" higher than what may be found in Artemia nauplii, marine fish oils and the like. In particular, the significant "omega-3" HUFA fractions including Eicosapentanoic Acid (EPA), Docosahexanoic Acid, as well as Arachadonic and Linoleic Acid are without comparison to any other known food substrate. The "omega-3" fatty acids are further compliment-ed with an array of other biologically important HUFA's as seen in the analytical profiles that follow.
It is now apparent that the role of the Highly Unsaturated Fatty Acids, especially those of the "omega-3" fraction are of paramount import-ance. Many animals cannot "create" or synthesize these within their bodies and therefore must be supplemented by exogenous sources. Typically, marine organisms such as the Penaeid Shrimps and most marine fishes must ingest these valuable molecules from external sources such as marine algaes.

CYCLOP-EEZE® provides huge quantities of HUFA's in a very cost effective manner!
The role of the Highly Unsaturated Fatty Acids in the development of aquatic organisms, in terrestrial veterinary medicine and in human medicine has been the focus of intense worldwide research. To date, the scientific community accredits the HUFA's with the following fundamental biological roles: |
The presence of large amounts of attractants such as "betaine" in CYCLOP-EEZE® and its derived products assures instant palatability and acceptance by all aquatic organisms. A significant compliment of immune stimulating substances such as "beta-glucan", present within the CYCLOP-EEZE® hemolymph have demonstrated significant immune-stimulation in crustaceans and fishes. |

| Therefore, CYCLOP-EEZE® act as a "vector" projecting essential nutrients in unprecedented concentrations into aquatic and terrestrial animals. |
