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. 1 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. 2 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 Nexira - [email protected] - www.nexira.com - 20140626 3
