Natural ingredients for weight loss, body sculpting

Natural ingredients for weight loss, body
sculpting and calorie intake reduction
The global weight management market shows
strong year-over-year gains, reaching retail
value sales of US $14 billion in 2013, with
growth projected to continue through 2018
(Euromonitor International data).
The USA is by far the world’s largest weightmanagement
market,
accounting
for
approximately one-third of global sales.
A few years ago women were the main target
of weight-management dietary supplements
or functional foods, and more precisely,
women aged 25 to 60. Today, with the global
increase of overweight or obesity troubles,
many people of all ages are interested in losing
or maintaining weight: teenagers, adults, and
seniors; males and females, etc.
The new and major trend of this growing market
is that weight management is now even more
aligned with global “health” management.
People now take into consideration the fact
that being overweight is not only a problem
of physical appearance/external beauty, but is
also generally linked to serious health problems
(among others: cardiovascular, cholesterol,
blood pressure, etc,). Ingredients should
therefore not only target weight loss, but
also offer holistic health features. Nexira has
developed three ingredients that answer each
specific demand: lose weight, sculpt the body
or reduce calorie intake.

Weight-management properties
to help sculpt the body
The world recognized healthy
lipophilic fiber
Cacti-Nea™ is a clinically tested cactus
fruit extract that promotes weight
management and beauty from within.
In order to support Cacti-Nea™, Nexira
conducted two clinical studies.
With NeOpuntia™, Nexira offers a
second weight management premium
ingredient that already has consumers
worldwide convinced: NeOpuntia™,
patented powder of Opuntia ficus
indica, was developed for its exceptional
lipophilic
properties.
NeOpuntia™
interacts with ingested fats to impede
their digestion and absorption.
The last one, an open intra-individual
study conducted on 15 women with
water retention troubles, confirmed the
weight-management efficiency of CactiNea™ at the dose of 2g/day during one
week.
• Cacti-Nea™ helps to significantly
decrease the sensation of swollen
feet / ankles / calves
• Cacti-Nea™ helps to significantly
decrease the sensation of “heavy legs”
• 87% of women were convinced
by Cacti-Nea™’s efficiency at the
end of the study, as revealed in a
global satisfaction questionnaire the
volunteers had to fill out.
Beyond its lipophilic/weight management properties, NeOpuntia™ offers
further health benefits, which fit
perfectly with the current trend of the
weight management market, targeting
not just weight loss but also healthrelated troubles linked to obesity (e.g.,
Syndrome X).
NeOpuntia™
combines
weight
management and global “health”
management wonderfully and a clinical
study showed that in addition to its
lipophilic properties:
• NeOpuntia™ could help to balance
blood lipid levels and reduce
cardiovascular risk due to its beneficial
effects on HDL cholesterol level
• NeOpuntia™ could play a part in
the regulation of the parameters
linked to Syndrome X, particularly
regarding HDL and triglycerides
parameters.

Nexira, a commitment
to quality and traceability
Absorption blocker for controlled
caloric intake
Nexira also offers ID-alG™, a clinically
tested brown seaweed extract, which
helps to control caloric intake for a
better balance between intake and
expenditure.
A preliminary in vitro study highlighted
the properties of ID-alG™ to inhibit 2 of
the main digestive enzymes, lipase and
amylase, by more than 50%.
To go further, Nexira conducted a clinical
study (monocentric, randomized, placebo
controlled in a parallel double-blind
study) on 60 overweight women, with
a daily dose of 400 mg of ID-alG™ over
2 months. This clinical study confirmed
the exceptional weight management
properties of ID-alG™ with significant
results observed on women with BMI
(Body Mass Index) ≤ 30:
Nexira is particularly attentive to the growing
consumer demand for healthy, clean and
organic products.
Thanks to exclusive partnerships with local
growers in the Mediterranean region, Nexira
ensures the origin and the traceability of its
cactus ingredients, NeOpuntia™ and CactiNea™, which are available in organic version
certified by ECOCERT SAS (F32600). Cactus
cultivation for the production of Cacti-Nea™
and NeOpuntia™ follows the principles of
organic farming, with no use of pesticides or
chemical fertilizers. This natural method of
growing Opuntia ficus-indica is particularly
environmentally friendly. A gentle process, free
from any chemical and respectful of the plant,
allows us to obtain a high quality standardized
ingredient that strictly complies with the current
European legislation regarding organic farming.
• Almost 3kg weight loss
• 100% weight-loss = fat loss
• Shaped buttocks & thighs: by
decreasing fat and carb assimilation,
ID-alG™ helps to control caloric
intake and reduce fat storage, thus
improving the figure (up to 4 cm
reduction in thigh measurement
and up to 5.8 cm buttocks reduction
observed in the ID-alG™ group)
• No side effects
