At Kemin, we understand healthy plants need more than just care as they grow – they need a great start with the best possible growing media.
Valena is a natural material derived from Euglena gracilis, a paramylon-rich type of unicellular algae that, when added in the growing media, primes the soil for optimal plant growth.
Because your customers - young plant growers - deserve the highest quality media foundation; Valena offers novel options for researchers searching for new ideas and innovative solutions to build new formulas.

The heavier a plant is by dry weight, the more biomass the plant has, and represents an indicator of a thriving and healthy plant.
