About BlueOcean
BlueOcean NutraSciences Inc. is a Canadian publicly-listed company (TSXV:BOC) whose sole focus is
commercializing its patent-protected CO 2 gas infusion technology license and US PTO CO
2 foliar spray, patent pending, for accelerating both indoor and outdoor plant growth.
Dissolved natural CO 2 gas in water without bubbles is a new CO 2
delivery method for growers to increase yield via targeted CO 2 irrigation on plant leaves where
all CO 2 gas is absorbed. The greenhouse industry has been gassing CO 2
to increase plant yields by an average of 33% (B.A. Kimball, Agronomy Journal, V75, September-October
1983 ) for the past 60 years while foliar spray has been used for the past 50 years. To date, no one has
combined CO 2 gassing and water.
Targeting dissolved CO 2 water onto plant leaves versus CO 2
gassing an entire greenhouse to attain a desired CO 2 PPM level could also save 50% of CO
2 gassing costs and improve worker safety. Addressable markets using dissolved CO 2
irrigation water are as follows: 1. $8 Trillion/y global food market of which $340 Billion/y is from greenhouse
produce and 2. Up to $50 Billion/y by 2022 for legal global cannabis. No other patent has been issued for applying
CO 2 to plants via foliar spray irrigation by the US PTO.
BlueOcean's shrimp-oil business and tax losses are being marketed for sale to focus on its CO
2 irrigation business, which has no competition. Shrimp-oil products are made from sustainably managed
North Atlantic cold-water shrimp shells (the by-product of the cooked and peeled shrimp process) which contains phospholipid bound
Omega-3 fatty acids and over 40 times more natural astaxanthin compared to krill oil ingredients.
Shrimp oil's unique nutritional properties allow for numerous health claims across a wide range of markets,
including the $4 Billion Omega-3 heart health market, the $9 Billion joint health market and the $10 Billion sports supplement
market. BlueOcean currently markets its shrimp oil under three consumer brands: Pure Polar® Omega-3 Shrimp Oil, Joint
AX TM and Sport AX TM . Products may be purchased online at
purepolarlabs.com.
