OxiCyan® (Bilberry and Spirulina Antioxidant Complex — Biosfered)

Evidence Level
Preliminary
0 Clinical Trials
3 Documented Benefits
1/5 Evidence Score

OxiCyan® is an antioxidant phytocomplex from Biosfered combining bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) anthocyanins with spirulina (Arthrospira platensis) phycocyanin. The two work together: bilberry directly scavenges free radicals, while spirulina activates the body's own antioxidant defenses. Evidence is mainly from laboratory research.

Studied Dose Commonly a few hundred milligrams per day.
Active Compound Phytocomplex of bilberry anthocyanins and spirulina phycocyanin, with carotenoids.

Benefits

Antioxidant defense

OxiCyan provides dual antioxidant action, with bilberry anthocyanins directly neutralizing free radicals and spirulina supporting the body's own antioxidant systems.

Cellular protection

In laboratory studies, the complex protected cells from oxidative stress, the basis for its antioxidant positioning.

Limited-evidence note

Current evidence for OxiCyan is mainly from laboratory and cellular studies; human clinical data are limited.

Mechanism of action

1

Direct ROS scavenging

Bilberry anthocyanins directly neutralize reactive oxygen species, lowering oxidative stress.

2

Nrf2 activation

Spirulina constituents activate the are/Nrf2 pathway, prompting cells to ramp up their own antioxidant enzymes.

Clinical trials

Side effects and drug interactions

Common Potential side effects

Generally well-tolerated.
Mild digestive upset is occasionally reported.
Choose tested spirulina to avoid contamination.

Important Drug interactions

Anticoagulants — bilberry may have a mild additive effect; monitor.
Autoimmune conditions — spirulina may stimulate immunity; consult a doctor.
Tell your doctor if pregnant or breastfeeding.
