Extensive research work (in vivo, in vitro, clinical studies)
•
Recommended dosage: 5g / day
•
Easy to use in dietary supplements and functional foods
Positive action on blood lipid levels
A published clinical study* showed that NeOpuntia® could increase HDL cholesterol levels,
with a significant trend (+0.0217 g/l) - whilst it is widely known that increasing HDL levels
may help to reduce cardiovascular risks.
What's more, almost 40% of women in the NeOpuntia® group were no longer diagnosed
with Metabolic Syndrome, against only 8% for the Placebo group.
Joint health booster
Osteol™ is a natural ingredient which helps to boost standard joint health formulas
(D-Glucosamine+Chondroitin). In vitro and clinical studies confirmed its potential to
target joint health.
•
Natural ingredient made from bio-active milk proteins
•
Helps to boost standard joint health formulas

Strong scientific background (in vitro, clinical studies)
•
Easy to use in dietary supplements and functional food & beverages
Boost your joint health formulas
Nexira's R&D department has developed Osteol™, to boost standard joint health
formulas (D-Glucosamine + Chondroitin). Extensive research work has shown that
Osteol™ can:
•
Reduce inflammatory markers
•
Protect cartilage from degeneration
•
Allow lower dosages of active ingredients in joint health formulas
100% natural resveratrol from the vine
Numerous scientific studies have highlighted resveratrol's exceptional
nutritional properties and define it as being one of the most potent plant
molecules. Nexira has developed Resveravine™: a 100% natural ingredient
from vines, standardized in resveratrol and particularly suitable for anti-aging
and antioxidant formulations.
•
Natural resveratrol extracted from selected French vines
•
Resveratrol in its monomer and oligomer forms
•
Standardized at 20% oligostilbens
•
Suitable for dietary supplements
•
Recommended dosage : 10 mg / day
Global antioxidant protection
Resveratrol is a powerful antioxidant with numerous health benefits widely
described in literature. Extensive research works conducted by Nexira
illustrate the specific properties of Resveravine™ compared to other sources
of resveratrol or other antioxidants:
•
Higher protection against LDL oxidation
•
Superior effects against oxidative stress
Healthy ageing properties
An in vitro study showed that Resveravine™, thanks to its t-resveratrol
content, was more efficient on SIRT-1* activation and could thus serve in
healthy ageing applications.
Natural stress relief properties
Serenzo™ is a natural ingredient made from specific citrus species which can help to
manage stress. Diverse scientific studies have shown it to be of interest for stress relief
applications.
•
100% natural, certified organic
•
Stress relief support
•
Strong scientific background (in vivo, in vitro studies)
•
Recommended dosage: minimum 500 mg/ day
•
Easy to use in dietary supplements and functional food & beverages
•
Nexira recently conducted an open clinical study on 40 volunteers from 18 to 60 years
old with chronic stress. The effectiveness of the ingredient at a daily dosage of 500mg
was assessed by normative questionnaires.
The effectiveness of the ingredient at a daily dosage of 500mg was assessed by stress
normative questionnaires such as the Symptom-Checklist-90-R (SCL-90-R) and the
Global Severity Index (GSI), the Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAM-A), the changes of the
Perceived Stress Questionnaire (PSQ20) and the changes of the Screening Scale of
Chronic Stress (SSCS). The tolerability of Serenzo™ was also evaluated with the global
assessment of tolerability and the number of adverse events or side effects.
Clinical results
After 12 weeks of treatment, statistically significant reductions were observed on almost
all the endpoints. The intake of Serenzo™ during 12 weeks led to a statistically
significant reduction of overall scores in all the applied questionnaires.
•
Serenzo™ significantly reduces overall stress scores and confirms its exceptional
anti-stress properties:
•
Serenzo™ induces a significant reduction by 53% of the global severity index
(GSI).
•
All the 9 items of the Symptom-Checklist-90-R (SCL-90-R), such as anxiety,
depression, obsessiveness, somatization…, are significantly reduced with
Serenzo™
•
Serenzo™ helps to reduce by 50% the Hamilton Anxiety index (HAM-A) after 12
weeks treatment
•
Serenzo™ induces a significant reduction in items "Worries", “Tension" and
"Demands“ whilst increasing the score of the item “Joy” (PSQ 20 questionnaire)
•
95% of investigators and 87.5% of subjects consider the Serenzo™’s efficiency as
moderate, good or very good

•
Increases physical training time by 10%
•
Delays the fatigue barrier by 13%
Cranberry health benefits
Exocyan™, is a unique brand of cranberry (Vaccinium Macrocarpon) extract, a
small berry grown exclusively in North and South America.The Exocyan™ product
line is standardized on proanthocyanidines (PACs) content, a type of flavonoid,
with antioxidant and other health activities.

Urinary tract health
•
Gastro-intestinal health
•

Oral care
•
Organic
•
A powerful antioxidant
This berry is naturally packed with polyphenols and especially ProAnthoCyanidins
(PACs).
Most other plants and berries, like grapes and green tea, contain B-Type PACs.
However, cranberry contains only A-Type PACs, which have healthy ageing
properties.
Positive impact on bacterial infections
The A-Type PACs in cranberry are unique because they are the only PACs that
have antibacterial activity. The anti-adhesion property of A-Type PACs is the basis
of cranberry’s extraordinary ability to improve urinary tract health.
