Mississauga, ON, July 22, 2025 – Caldic North America is pleased to announce a new distribution partnership with Fitoplancton Marino, developers of TetraSOD®, a premium microalalgae-based, patent-protected, ingredient clinically shown to support cellular health, antioxidant defense, and ageless living. Under this agreement, Caldic will distribute TetraSOD® to customers across North America in the nutrition, health, and wellness sectors.
TetraSOD® is a freeze-dried powder derived from the marine microalgae Tetraselmis chuii and delivers one of the highest concentrations of superoxide dismutase (SOD) on the market, alongside a broad range of antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and cellular protective benefits. It has been shown to boost mitochondrial function, enhance immune response, protect DNA integrity, and regulate inflammation - factors central to cellular longevity and whole-body vitality.
“Partnering with Fitoplancton Marino and their breakthrough TetraSOD® product supports our mission to bring science-backed, transformative ingredients to our customers,” said Lisa Rodwin, Commercial Director, Nutrition at Caldic North America. “As consumer demand grows for cellular health and anti-aging solutions, we’re excited to bring this exceptional ingredient into the North American spotlight and collaborate with forward-thinking brands to unlock its full potential.”
Grown in closed, outdoor photobioreactors using patented, sustainable technology in Spain, TetraSOD® is non-GMO, vegan, solvent-free, and backed by a robust portfolio of in vitro and in vivo studies. It has demonstrated powerful upregulation of the body’s three essential antioxidant enzymes (SOD, CAT, and GPx), activation of NRF2 and SIRT1 pathways to promote cellular health, and significant improvements in oxidative stress, inflammation markers, endurance, and recovery.
“TetraSOD® represents a new frontier in cellular health and active aging, and Caldic is the ideal partner to introduce this innovation to the North American market,” said Enrique Castaño, Sales & Business Development Director at Fitoplancton Marino. “Their reach, technical expertise, and collaborative approach will ensure TetraSOD® reaches the formulators and brands who are shaping the future of nutrition.”
TetraSOD® is suitable for a wide range of formulations, including dietary supplements, functional foods and beverages, sports nutrition, healthy aging, skin vitality, and recovery solutions.
To launch this partnership, Caldic and Fitoplancton Marino will be exhibiting at SupplySide West 2025 in Las Vegas, where they will showcase product concepts and provide technical insights on formulation and efficacy.
