Functional supplements for performance horses
Performance and sport horses place high physiological demands on recovery and immune function. Owners and trainers increasingly look to functional supplements with documented, natural inputs. Phycocyanin, the blue pigment from spirulina, has drawn interest for its studied antioxidant and immune-related properties.
Formulation considerations
Equine supplements are typically delivered as powders, pellets or pastes. Because phycocyanin is heat- and light-sensitive, protective formats and documented stability data are important to preserve activity through manufacturing and shelf life.
The quality dependency
Consistent pigment concentration, documented purity and contaminant testing underpin reliable supplement formulation. A stable specification lets formulators make consistent claims within their market's regulatory framework.
Forward-looking note: SPIRUVA is in a pre-launch phase, with commercial production scheduled for July 2027. Market figures reflect published industry trends and are directional, not guarantees.
