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 certifications, such as organic and synergies for example with Baobab fiber. Our range of fibers is easy to use in a large array of nutritional applications to formulate healthy, natural and organic products.

inavea™ CINNAMON ACACIA is an all-natural and organic synergistic formulation of Cinnamon & Acacia, two African treasures with a long history within Nexira’s portfolio.
Providing prebiotic fibers from Acacia and polyphenols (including PACs) from Cinnamon, inavea™ CINNAMON ACACIA perfectly illustrates Nexira’s expertise in microbiome modulation.
In a recent in vivo study mimicking the conditions of dysbiosis-induced by a high fat high sucrose (HFHS) diet, inavea™ CINNAMON ACACIA has proven a strong prebiotic activity, a synergistic contribution to balance the gut microbiome and a significant role in metabolic heath improvement.
Our study has demonstrated the complementary & significant prebiotic activity of inavea™ CINNAMON ACACIA:
• Significant ability to modulate overall gut microbiota population
• Increase of SCFA propionate and butyrate production (1)
• Promotion of beneficial bacteria, such as Parabacteroides distasonis, which benefits on metabolic health markers such as glycemia and
weight have been substantiated (Wang et al, 2019)
inavea TM CINNAMON ACACIA is suitable in a wide range of dietary supplement applications and functional food & beverages:

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

VinOgrape™ Plus is a natural grape extract with proven prebiotic effect and acting on microbiome modulation.
Our range of Grape extracts results from the association of an exceptional “terroir” with thousands of years of agricultural expertise & specific extraction process. VinOgrape™ Plus is produced using a special making process which provides the highest level of total polyphenols.
The International Scientific Association for Probiotics and Prebiotics (ISAPP) defines a prebiotic as ‘a substrate that is selectively utilized by host microorganisms conferring a health benefit’1 and has officially recognized grape extract as a prebiotic.
A 5-weeks in vivo study on intestinal mucosa markers and fecal microbiota in induced gut dysbiosis conditions shows that VinOgrape™ Plus significantly modulates the gut microbiota profile vs control after gut dysbiosis induction.
VinOgrape™ Plus has shown a significant ability to increase the abundance of Akkermansia muciniphila, suggesting an active role in metabolic disorder as well as weight control.
VinOgrape™ Plus is suitable for food supplements.
Prebiotic ingredients may help to preserve gut health by bringing a healthy balance to the microbiota. Nexira offers natural prebiotic ingredients and botanical extracts with proven benefits on digestive health.
