Carolean™ provides both effectiveness and convenience for appetite control. The new patent-pending ingredient has demonstrated a clear ability to reduce appetite and limit cravings.
In conditions mimicking the ingestion (Temperature, pH), Carolean™ shows a superior kinetic reaching the satiety culmination quicker when compared to recognized market standards. 15 minutes after ingestion, already 70% of the viscosity is reached which optimizes the satiety effect more rapidly.
A recent in vivo study conducted in 2024 has substantiated Carolean™’s mechanism of action and demonstrated benefits in regulating appetite for 4 weeks at equivalent human use level (3g/day). Gastric emptying is the process by which food is moved from the stomach into the small intestine. It depends on the nature of the food consumed (consistency, volume, caloric content…) and plays a crucial role in regulating appetite. Delaying gastric emptying is key to improve the feeling of fullness after eating.
Nexira scientific results show:
• A significant slowing down of gastric emptying in both single and prolonged uses.
• A remarkable food intake reduction (-47% on average) as a consequence (figure below).
Well-known as a coffee substitute, chicory roots are particularly interesting due to their inulin content.
Inulin is naturally produced and stored by the roots of the plant as an energy reserve.
Inulin belongs to a class of dietary fiber called fructans. It is used for its prebiotic effects and would promote the growth of beneficial intestinal bacteria.

Cranberries have been used by North American populations since ancient times.
Nowadays, these little red berries are widely grown on vines and low shrubs in the northern regions of America and in Chile.
Berries are collected through two different methods: dry harvesting or wet harvesting.
When wet harvested, bogs are flooded with water. Each berry contains a small pocket of air which helps it to float. They are gathered and collected from the surface.
Cranberries are consumed in various forms: fresh, dried, juices, cereal bars, as well as powders and supplements. There are traditionally used for women health.

In Asian traditional medicine, dried ginseng is used as a tonic to rejuvenate vital energy.
Ginseng contributes to the natural defenses and proper functioning of the immune system. At least 30 ginsenosides have been isolated and characterized in the literature. The physiological actions of individual ginsenosides may work in opposition. For example, the two main ginsenosides, Rb1 and Rg1, respectively, suppress and stimulate the central nervous system. These opposing actions may contribute to the «adaptogenic» description of ginseng and its purported ability to balance bodily functions. 1,2
Ginseng is traditionally used to enhance cognitive and physical abilities, in cases of weakness, tiredness or loss of concentration. Ginseng is also approved for use during convalescence. 1,3
Panax ginseng also benefits from several pending claims.
Thanks to its multiple health benefits and its notoriety as an adaptogen and a nootropic, Ginseng is a rising ingredient in Supplements & Beverages

Immortelle has been described in the literature for its antioxidant activity and its inflammatory marker modulation. 1,2,3
Clove (Syzygium aromaticum) has demonstrated its superiority in flavonoids content, antioxidant activity and its hepatoprotective effect. 4,5
Detox is a natural process that enables the neutralization and elimination of toxins. Liver allows the elimination of waste by transforming toxins and by a solubilization process, which require potent enzymatic cascade and can generate free radicals. Supporting antioxidant mechanism of the liver may be beneficial for detoxification process and hepatoprotection.
Starting with more than 100 botanical sources, Nexira compared antioxidant potency and nutrigenomic mechanism in liver cells through an extensive and innovative screening.
HEPURE has confirmed the best synergy in direct antioxidant activity and its superiority in increasing gene expression coding for antioxidant defenses by the liver cell (nutrigenomic mechanism). Thus, Hepure has proven a synergistic antioxidant activity in liver cells, the liver protection, a boost in antioxidant production, and a support to the detoxifying process.
Pending claim on Helichrysum italicum*: «Helps to maintain a healthy liver function, supporting the digestion and the body purification».

Native to North America, witch hazel (Hamamelis virginiana L.) is found as a tall shrub or small tree (up to 7,5m high) from the Hamamelidaceae family.
One theory about the common name witch hazel is that “witch” may be a derivative of the old English wych meaning “to bend” in reference to trees with pliant branches, while “hazel” may be due to the resemblance of the leaves to those of true hazels in the genus Corylus (Betulaceae).
Witch hazel has been traditionally used in water form (Hamamelis water) for its ability to soothe sensitive skin. Leaf, bark and water have been reported to have astringent properties. These properties can be attributed to the tannins content.
Nexira’s witch hazel leaves are rigorously selected from organic French raw material and then follow a water extraction process to obtain a fine brown powder. Rich in tannins (mainly condensed tannins and gallic acid), Nexira’s witch hazel extract is eligible to bear several EU pending claim, as it « contributes to circulation in the legs ».
Moreover, a recent proprietary in-vitro study based on direct antioxidant activity has highlights witch hazel extract as one of the best ingredients tested.
Witch hazel can be used in nutraceuticals for women health as it helps to relieve heavy legs feeling.
