Capsix

ISPA 2026 Las Vegas - iYU® acclaimed by global wellness professionals - Review of the ISPA 2026 trade show by François Eyssautier (CEO): "We cannot wait for iYU's next installations in North America!" The flagship trend of the show: the shift from a wellness "that makes you want it" to a wellness "that provides proof", centred on measurable recovery and longevity. iYU® answers this with validated scientific results. Dual Capsix presence: Living Earth Crafts stand (exclusive NA distributor) + Earthlite stand.
