Oxidative stress in performance horses
Intense exercise generates oxidative stress, which can affect recovery and condition. Phycocyanin has been studied for antioxidant activity, drawing interest from equine nutrition formulators developing recovery-focused products.
What the evidence requires
As with all functional inputs, claims must stay within studied effects and regulatory limits. Documented purity ratio, consistent concentration and full contaminant testing are essential to support credible formulation.
Quality as the foundation
For equine applications, batch-to-batch consistency and complete documentation are non-negotiable. A stable, well-characterised input lets formulators build reliable products on a sound scientific basis.
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.
