TetraSOD®: Microalgae-based support for premium products

TetraSOD® is a freeze-dried marine microalgae ingredient from Fitoplancton Marino SL. It is based on Tetraselmis chuii and developed for cellular health and healthy ageing. It suits modern longevity concepts and works well in daily formats such as capsules, gummies, powders, and sticks.

About TetraSOD®

TetraSOD® from Easy Algae is a marine microalgae ingredient for healthy ageing. It is sourced from Tetraselmis chuii and produced with patent-protected technology. The microalgae is grown in closed outdoor photobioreactors and then freeze-dried. This gives formulators a distinctive cellular health story with strong technical value.

Its primary application is healthy ageing through cellular health support. Secondary applications include antioxidant support, immune support, and active lifestyle formulations. The ingredient is also positioned for broader longevity concepts. Capsules, gummies, powders, and stick packs are all suitable formats.

  • Source: marine microalgae, Tetraselmis chuii
  • Key features: freeze-dried, non-GMO, vegan, natural origin
  • Certifications: halal certified; kosher reported in process
  • Daily dosage: 25 mg per day
  • Research base: multiple peer-reviewed publications, plus human and in vitro data

A key differentiator is its focus on cellular health through NRF2 and SIRT1 activation in human tissues, as presented in the supplier documents.

TetraSOD® - applications

Healthy ageing is moving from a niche idea to a daily wellness priority. Consumers want longer life in better condition. They are looking for products that support how they feel, move, and recover over time.

TetraSOD® fits this demand with a foundational cellular health platform. That enables brands to build concepts around longevity, beauty, mobility, active lifestyle, and daily resilience. It can also support products for consumers who want proactive health habits earlier in life.

From a formulation perspective, the ingredient is versatile. The suggested daily dose is low, which helps format flexibility. It can support premium concepts in capsules, tablets, gummies, powders, bars, and snacks. This makes it suitable for both specialist and mainstream healthy ageing products.

TetraSOD® - the science

TetraSOD® is described as a promoter of cellular health. The science focus is not one single endpoint. Instead, it covers several cell-related functions linked with healthy ageing. These include redox balance, immune function, mitochondrial function, inflammation, structural integrity, and response to signals.

In an in vitro study, TetraSOD® increased antioxidant enzyme activity and upregulated genes linked with oxidative stress response, including NRF2-related pathways.  Human research indicates positive outcomes on exercise recovery, immune markers, and antioxidant responses.

The longevity story is built around cellular health. TetraSOD® has been shown in vivo to activate both NRF2 and SIRT1 in human tissues. These pathways are associated with how cells respond to oxidative stress and ageing-related challenges.

Overall, research supports TetraSOD® as an ingredient associated with healthier cellular function and everyday healthy ageing support.
