NATURAL FIBER

PLANT-BASED PROTEIN
Our Xia Powder W 125 LM is a high plant-based protein chia concentrate in a micro-milled format, providing excellent nutrition, taste, texture, and dispersibility. It is mainly used in functional powder supplements and meat and dairy alternatives categories, as it contains all 9 essential amino acids, and it is an excellent ingredient to support consumers’ daily protein requirements while providing fibre and omega-3 fat.
Sustainability is crucial in product innovation in this space, disrupting traditional animal-based protein sources.

FUNCTIONAL FATS AND OIL
Considering there are three main omega-3 fats: EPA, DHA, and ALA, which complement each other, ALA is the only omega-3 fat considered an ‘essential’ fatty acid biologically because the body can’t make it alone. We must get it from the diet.
Benexia® Xia Oil is a 100% natural cold-pressed oil with the largest omega-3 concentration of any edible oil and keto friendly. Over 63% of its composition is made up of ALA omega-3 fat. There’s evidence that chia oil supports the immune system, is anti-inflammatory neuroprotective, and promotes healthy skin, hair, and nails. And because it is plant-based, there is no fishy aftertaste, which is ideal for vegetarians and vegans.
Benexia® Xia Oil is also available in a powder format. The ALA Powder® is chia oil microencapsulated, it is an excellent source of omega-3 ALA fat. It retains all of the oxidative stability and sensory attributes of our oil. Benexia ALA Powder® is intended for liquid or powder applications where it is impossible to add oil.
