Pioneering Acacia Fiber, Nexira Earns NutraStrong™ Prebiotic Certification
Fibregum™ and inavea™ PURE ACACIA, Nexira’s acacia fiber brands widely used for fiber enrichment in a large array of applications, become the only NutraStrong™ Prebiotic Verified acacia fibers.
Nexira, a pioneer in dietary fiber research, was among the first to explore the nutritional benefits of acacia gum. Since the late 1970s, Nexira has led the way in scientific studies focused on acacia fiber’s positive impact on gut health, culminating in the innovative Fibregum™ and inavea™ product lines. In 2021, Nexira’s proprietary study has supplied solid scientific evidence, supporting the decision of the FDA to add acacia fiber to the approved list of dietary fibers. Since 2020, Nexira is an active member of the Global Prebiotic Association, an organization working to raise awareness of prebiotics. Nexira’s acacia fiber lines offer a gentle and natural dietary fiber, available in organic and even carbon-neutral grades.
A Growing Awareness of Microbiome
The awareness around gut health and microbiome is still rising with 74% of consumers interested in fibers & 56% in prebiotics.
Traditionally, consumers have turned to supplements to address digestive health, but this is shifting toward additional other categories. Launches with fiber or prebiotics claims and ingredients are on the rise in food and beverage. Growth continues in fibers identified by their plant source, such as Acacia Fiber, which enhances the perception of natural ingredients.
Nexira’s Prebiotic Line: Effective, Strongly Substantiated and Natural
Nexira offers a large portfolio of Acacia fiber, an all-natural and GMO-free prebiotic ingredient sourced from carefully selected acacia trees. With a minimum of 90% fiber content guaranteed on dry weight, our branded products Fibregum™ and inavea™ pure acacia offer the value of a clean label in addition to the consumer appeal of 100% vegetable origin for fiber enrichment. In addition, inavea™ pure acacia offers an organic certification and a carbon-neutral footprint.
Fibregum™ and inavea™ pure acacia have an exceptional digestive tolerance and several proven health benefits: stimulation of the growth of healthy bacteria in the gut, Short Chain Fatty Acids (SCFA) production, bowel movement modulation and improvement of intestinal health.
Under the NutraStrong™ Prebiotic Verified program, Fibregum™ and inavea™ pure acacia’s respecting input quantity and prebiotic efficacy were verified through supplier or internal references. “We found sufficient data to substantiate Nexira’s inavea™ pure acacia and FibregumTM as prebiotics when used at a dose of 10 g/day”, declared Joshua Edwards, NutraSource’s Global Product Certifications.
This new certification attests to the quality and science behind Fibregum™ and inavea™ pure acacia and provides the market with quality prebiotic products, the only acacia fiber certified. Fibregum™ and inavea™ pure acacia are an ideal choice for functional foods, beverages, and supplements, thanks to its high fiber content, excellent digestive tolerance, and ability to contribute to a healthy microbiome.
