Very early in its history, Nexira began to focus its scientific research on the nutritional benefits of acacia as a native source of soluble dietary fiber. With a minimum of 90% fiber content guaranteed on dry weight, acacia fiber is the ideal clean label ingredient for fiber fortification.
Numerous studies have been performed and the acacia prebiotic effect has been largely demonstrated. Nexira has developed different references with specific benefits, such as synergies with Baobab fiber. Our range of fibers, available in organic grade, is easy to use in a large array of nutritional applications to formulate healthy, natural and organic products.

Complementarity of Carob & Acacia fibers
Boosted microbiota diversity
Carbon neutral, organic
inavea™ CAROB & ACACIA is an all-natural and complementary formulation of Carob and Acacia fibers, bringing respectively galactomannan and arabinogalactan polysaccharides.
Acacia and Carob are sustainably sourced in Africa and Mediterranean countries and organic certified. inavea™ CAROB & ACACIA provides a high fiber content and prebiotic activities leading to a boosted microbiome diversity.
In a recent ex vivo study mimicking the intestinal system, acacia and carob fibers alone have demonstrated significant prebiotic activities. At the equivalent of 5g/day, inavea™ CAROB & ACACIA has shown a prebiotic effect and a complementarity on microbiota diversity.
To empower a healthier microbiome, this new reference boosts the microbiota diversity, ie the number of different species of bacteria in the gut microbiome. Evaluated by the CMS, an innovative Community Modulation Score, the microbiota diversity has been improved by inavea™ CAROB & ACACIA with more than 29 species being promoted.
inavea™ CAROB & ACACIA has demonstrated a microbiota modulation with the promotion of beneficial bacteria and Short Chain Fatty Acids. Thanks to the different structure of acacia and carob fibers, inavea™ carob & acacia offers a full spectrum fermentation, acting across the entire intestine.
inavea TM CAROB & ACACIA is ideal to fortify nutritional powders, functional snacks and shots.
100 % all-natural & appealing combination
Acacia and carob are confirmed dietary fibers by the FDA

Floracia TM is a synergy of from acacia and fructo-oligosaccharide.
Floracia TM is a result of a synergistic combination of two dietary fibers: long-chain acacia polysaccharides and short-chain fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS).
The FOS are soluble fibers used in the ascending colon by bifidobacteria, compared to acacia which is fermented in the transverse and descending colon. This specific combination delivers a higher prebiotic effect compared to FOS or acacia gum taken separately. Indeed, this improves intestinal transit, stimulates the immune system.
Obtained through an innovative co-drying process, Floracia TM is slightly sweet, non-viscous and highly soluble perfectly suitable for many applications.
