We founded PhytoCuro in January 2023 to harness the power of cutting-edge biotechnology and grow microalgae in controlled environments. Our closed-loop systems ensure the highest quality and purity, while minimizing waste and conserving natural resources. The cultivation also serves as a source CO2 fixation causing a net negative CO2 balance in our production process.
