Tetraselmis chuii

Tetraselmis chuii is a marine microalga with exceptional nutritional density. It delivers proteins, essential fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, and natural pigments such as chlorophyll, lutein, and β-carotene. This species provides the richest known natural source of superoxide dismutase (SOD ≥30,000 IU/g), a powerful antioxidant. Grown in closed photobioreactors under natural sunlight, the powder remains additive-free and versatile for food, nutraceutical, cosmetic, and animal nutrition applications.
