opika-1™ Kainic Acid - Ocean Produce International (OPI) is now the largest producer of kainic acid (KA) yielding algae in the world. opika-1™ - is a natural mutation from the Palmaria palmata family discovered in 1986 and cultivated exclusively by OPI. OPI's natural opika-1™ Kainic Acid is glutamate and aspartate free as is its derivative opika-1™ Dihydrokainic Acid (DHKA). These two products are the purest forms of these excitatory amino acids available from any natural or synthetic source. From the beginning OPI has worked to produce quality affordable kainic and dihydrokainic acid for the neurological research community. By cultivating our unique seaweed in greenhouses, contracting out extraction to an ISO 9001 certified company and marketing directly to researchers, OPI has managed to reduce prices three times since introducing opika-1™ KA and DHKA to the research community in 2000. The result is that OPI's prices are 50% - 75% less than any other supplier. Bottom line - Researchers in over 180 neurological labs in 35 countries now use opika-1™ Kainic and Dihydrokainic Acid because we provide the best - price, purity, availability, consistency and delivery.
