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.

Glucomannan Konjac

Glucomannan is a natural, water-soluble dietary fiber extracted from the roots of the elephant yam, also known as konjac. This species has long been used in China, Japan and Southeast Asia as a food source. Flour extracted from the corm of this species is used in Far Eastern cuisine to make noodles, tofu and snacks.

Over the past two decades, purified konjac flour, commonly known as konjac glucomannan, has been introduced on a relatively small scale into the United States and Europe. It is one of the most viscous dietary fibers known.

Its exceptional properties to absorb water are responsible to its effects on weight loss through a feeling of satiety.

Immortelle (Helichrysum italicum), which comes from the rocky and sunny lands of the Corsican maquis in France, is also called Everlasting thanks to its exceptional longevity: its flowers never fade. 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».

Witch hazel

Organic

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.
