Nexira is accelerating innovation in women’s health, longevity, and the microbiome
Vitafoods Europe 2026, the leading global event for the nutraceutical industry, will once again bring together ingredient innovators, brands and health experts to explore the next generation of science-backed nutrition solutions. At this year’s edition, Nexira will showcase three major strategic pillars shaping the future of health nutrition: women’s health, longevity and advanced fiber solutions.
Women’s health: bridging unmet needs for PMS and clinically supported nutricosmetics
Nexira will introduce BloomEase™, a new ingredient designed to support women experiencing premenstrual syndrome (PMS). A human real-life study conducted in 167 women demonstrated a faster and greater reduction in menstrual discomfort, along with improved quality of life and reduced PMS severity across cycles.
In parallel, Nexira continues to expand its beauty-from-within positioning with Oli-Ola™, supported by clinical data demonstrating anti-aging benefits, including reduction of dark spots and improved elasticity.
Together, these solutions reflect Nexira’s commitment to science-backed innovation addressing key women’s health needs, from hormonal balance to healthy skin aging.
Longevity: targeting cellular health and microbiome-driven aging
Nexira is also entering the rapidly expanding longevity segment, driven by growing consumer interest in healthy aging and cellular vitality. According to Innova Market Insights, 73% of consumers worldwide consider longevity and healthy aging extremely or very important—highlighting a clear shift from lifespan to healthspan, where maintaining quality of life is key. Nexira’s latest blog post further explores this emerging trend and its implications for innovation in nutraceuticals.
We will highlight nu4life™, a new ingredient designed to support cellular regeneration and mitochondrial function, two key pillars of longevity. This approach is complemented by VinOgrape™ Plus, a grape polyphenol extract with proven prebiotic activity shown to modulate the gut microbiome and increase beneficial bacteria such as Akkermansia muciniphila, associated with metabolic health and age-related microbiome dysbiosis.
Together, these solutions support a holistic longevity strategy combining cellular health, microbiome modulation and healthy aging.
Fiber solutions and natural GLP-1 support for weight management
Nexira will also highlight its comprehensive approach to weight management and GLP-1 support, combining appetite control, digestive comfort and microbiome balance.
The portfolio includes Carolean™, a patent-pending synergistic complex based on carob and nopal designed for appetite control. This natural solution supports satiety by slowing gastric emptying and stimulating GLP-1-related mechanisms, helping reduce cravings and support healthy weight management as a natural alternative.
This approach is complemented by Nexira’s complete range of acacia-based fibers, including Fibregum™ and inavea™, designed to support digestive comfort for GLP-1 users, enable fiber enrichment in nutrient-dense formulations, and deliver prebiotic effects to regulate and balance the gut microbiota. Acacia fiber offers high digestive tolerance, excellent formulation flexibility and clinically supported benefits for gut health.
2026 also celebrates the 30th anniversary of Fibregum™, a milestone highlighting customer trust and Nexira’s continuous scientific, industrial and marketing investments to keep this acacia fiber at the forefront of innovation.
With innovations spanning women’s health, longevity and microbiome-focused fiber solutions, Nexira reinforces its ambition to deliver scientifically supported ingredients aligned with the fastest-growing nutraceutical categories.
