Cyanotech Corporation specializes in the cultivation and production of high-quality microalgae products, primarily focusing on health and nutrition. The company operates a 90-acre farm in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, where it utilizes advanced microalgae technology to produce notable products such as BioAstin® Hawaiian Astaxanthin and Hawaiian Spirulina®. These products are recognized for their nutritional benefits and are part of Cyanotech's commitment to sustainability. The company emphasizes environmentally sensitive practices, including the recycling of water used in cultivation and the use of cold, deep seawater to cool their ponds, which also serves as a natural air conditioning source in Hawaii's warm climate.

In addition to its sustainable farming practices, Cyanotech harnesses renewable energy through a solar panel array that generates over a million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually, significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The company highlights the efficiency of its microalgae crops, noting that Spirulina produces 15 times more protein per acre than traditional crops like beef, corn, and soybeans while using considerably less water. This focus on sustainable production not only supports the health and nutrition of consumers but also aligns with Cyanotech's mission of preserving natural resources and promoting whole health through its innovative microalgae technologies.
