Description
BioActor Naxus® is 100% Natural clean label product obtained from wheat arabinoxylan extract standardized for high levels of arabinoxylans from the endosperm. It is slowly soluble in water and is clinically validated to systemically down-regulate glucose and insulin levels. It also improves gut barrier integrity and the adaptive and innate immune cells.
Naxus® escapes human digestive enzymes and reaches the colon intact. Due to the complex and branched structure of arabinoxylan molecules, Naxus® is slowly metabolized by the gut microbiota to form large amounts of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) like acetate, butyrate and propionate.
Gut Barrier: Naxus® modulates the intestinal luminal environment through the upregulation of tight junction proteins.
Innate Immunity: Naxus® improves monocytes recruitment capacity and activate regulatory T-cells, increasing immune system vigilance.
Adaptive Immunity: Naxus® enhances vaccination efficacy against influenza, resulting in an improved seroprotection rate and less respiratory tract infections.
Application:
- Naxus® is perfectly suited for sachets and stick packs. This solution is easy to use.
- Naxus® can be used as prebiotic just added to yoghurt to increase the consumption of arabinoxylans.
- When Naxus® is consumed together with meal, it leads to a rapid decrease in ghrelin, also known as the “hunger hormone”.
- Naxus® has a slight cereal-like taste and can be readily integrated in a broad range of products: from supplements to nutritional bars and baked goods.
