Antioxidant interest in companion-animal health
Oxidative stress is a recognised factor in companion-animal ageing and recovery. Phycocyanin has been studied for antioxidant activity, which has drawn interest from formulators developing functional supplements for dogs and cats.
What the quality picture requires
For supplement use, documented purity, consistent pigment concentration and contaminant testing are essential. A high purity ratio and stable specification allow formulators to make consistent functional claims within regulatory limits for their market.
Practical formulation notes
Because phycocyanin is sensitive to heat and light, encapsulation or protective formats help preserve activity through shelf life. Documentation of stability data supports formulator confidence.
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.
