From 2020, we will gradually switch to the use of natural additives, as soon as our stocks run out.

As a manufacturer of food supplements, just like you, we are constantly looking for new solutions for ever more transparent, natural and efficient products. In 2020, we are adopting Inavea ™ ️, a natural acacia fiber that will gradually replace our usual additives as our old stocks of additives run out.

Each production requires the passage of raw material powders through our machines, which fill the capsules. To prevent these powders from clumping together, and blocking the packaging, we are often forced to add additives that allow good flow.

Inavea ™ ️ now allows us to offer you 100% natural and virtuous products. This soluble dietary fiber (capable of dissolving in water) is completely natural. It is obtained from carefully selected acacia sap that exudes from the stems and branches. Inavea ™ ️ is certified non-GMO.

This new fiber has many advantages, both technical and above all in terms of health. Indeed, not only, it facilitates the setting in capsules, but it also presents an excellent digestibility. This fiber can be consumed, even in high doses, without causing digestive problems (gas, abdominal cramps, diarrhea, etc.). It is an ingredient compatible with FODMAPs diets.

Inavea ™ ️ induces beneficial effects on the intestinal barrier and the microbiota. It is not only a powerful additive, but it is also an active ingredient, which everyone needs today, with our Western way of life.

The interest of this new fiber has been analyzed in several studies. These have highlighted certain essential points, which make Inavea ™ ️, an essential partner in intestinal health.

Action on intestinal bacteria

Consumption of Inavea ™ ️ has been shown to have a beneficial effect on intestinal bacteria. Indeed, these soluble fibers, highly digestible, are fermented in the transverse and descending colon, by two essential bacterial groups, the Bifidobacteria and the Bacteroidetes, the abundance of which is a marker of the good health of the microbiota. These bacteria literally feed on this acacia fiber, which aims to maintain a healthy intestinal balance.

Action on the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA)

Short-chain fatty acids, primarily butyrates, propionates, and acetates, do a lot for your health. These molecules are secreted by certain types of bacteria thanks to the fermentation of non-digestible fibers in the colon. SCFAs act as true molecular messengers with anti-inflammatory, protective effects against metabolic diseases and obesity. But above all, they help protect the mucus layer, which is essential protection, which covers the epithelial cells of the intestine. Butyrate is the main source of energy for the cells of the intestinal epithelium. These SCFAs also play a role in intestinal motility. Acacia Inavea ™ ️ fiber significantly induces the production of these SCFAs, necessary for good health and immunity. This ingredient actively contributes to the restoration of the intestinal barrier and protects against problems of hyperpermeability.

You will understand, it is because this ingredient has all these virtues that we have decided to integrate it into our products. What could be better than an additive that has faithfully fulfilled its mechanical functions and has so many benefits for our health. Today, it is possible to combine naturalness, health, and technicality.
