Benefits

Physical Performance Support

Oceanix designed for active nutrition applications — supports physical performance and recovery via antioxidant and micronutrient support.

Supported by Trial 1

Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) Activity

Oceanix has high SOD enzyme activity — major endogenous antioxidant defense; supports body's response to oxidative stress from exercise and daily life.

Supported by Trial 1, Trial 2

Exercise Recovery

Antioxidant activity supports recovery from exercise-induced oxidative stress; potential benefits for training adaptation.

Supported by Trial 1, Trial 2

Vegan Marine Source

Plant-based marine phytoplankton — alternative to fish/krill-derived marine ingredients; appeals to vegan/vegetarian consumers.

Supported by Trial 2

Comprehensive Micronutrition

Beyond SOD, provides essential fatty acids, vitamins, amino acids, minerals — broad nutritional profile from sustainable source.

Sustainable Cultivation

Cultivated in controlled marine environments; sustainable production without ocean depletion concerns.

Supported by Trial 2

Mechanism of action

1

SOD Enzyme Activity

Superoxide dismutase converts superoxide radicals to hydrogen peroxide — first-line antioxidant defense; Oceanix delivers preformed SOD activity.

2

Marine Phytoplankton Comprehensive Nutrients

Tetraselmis chuii naturally contains essential fatty acids (some omega-3), B vitamins, amino acids, minerals — broad micronutrition.

3

Anti-Inflammatory Marine Compounds

Marine phytoplankton produces unique anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds adapted to marine environment stresses.

4

Sustainable Cultivation Process

Lonza-controlled cultivation ensures consistency and avoids ocean ecosystem impact.

Frequently asked questions about Oceanix™ (Marine Phytoplankton — Lonza)

What is Oceanix™ (Marine Phytoplankton — Lonza)?

Oceanix™ is a SUSTAINABLY-SOURCED MARINE PHYTOPLANKTON ingredient (Tetraselmis chuii) developed by Lonza — distinguished by HIGH SUPEROXIDE DISMUTASE (SOD) ACTIVITY plus essential fatty acids, vitamins, amino acids, and minerals.

What does Oceanix™ (Marine Phytoplankton — Lonza) do?

Superoxide dismutase converts superoxide radicals to hydrogen peroxide — first-line antioxidant defense; Oceanix delivers preformed SOD activity. In clinical research, Oceanix™ (Marine Phytoplankton — Lonza) has been studied for physical performance support, superoxide dismutase (sod) activity, exercise recovery.

Who should take Oceanix™ (Marine Phytoplankton — Lonza)?

Oceanix™ (Marine Phytoplankton — Lonza) may be most relevant for people interested in athletic performance, antioxidant, muscle & recovery. It has been clinically studied for physical performance support, superoxide dismutase (sod) activity, exercise recovery. As with any supplement, consult your healthcare provider before starting, especially if you have medical conditions or take prescription medications.

How long does Oceanix™ (Marine Phytoplankton — Lonza) take to work?

Most clinical trial effects appear over weeks of consistent use; individual response varies. Acute or same-day effects (where applicable) typically appear within hours, but most cumulative benefits — particularly those affecting biomarkers, mood, sleep quality, or chronic symptoms — require 4-12 weeks of regular use to fully assess. If you don't notice benefit after 12 weeks at the appropriate dose, it may not be your responder.

When is the best time to take Oceanix™ (Marine Phytoplankton — Lonza)?

For performance or energy goals, Oceanix™ (Marine Phytoplankton — Lonza) is typically taken 30-60 minutes before exercise or in the morning.
