Oxidative stress and exercise recovery

Intense exercise generates oxidative stress, which is a focus of recovery-oriented nutrition. Phycocyanin has been studied for antioxidant activity, drawing interest from formulators developing recovery and wellness products.

What the evidence requires

Claims must remain within studied effects and applicable regulations. Documented purity ratio, consistent concentration and full contaminant testing are essential for credible formulation in this category.

Quality as the foundation

Batch-to-batch consistency and complete documentation let formulators build reliable products. A stable, well-characterised input is the basis for sound functional nutrition development.

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.
