CHIAMUCIL®
The New Chia-Based Fiber Supplement from Benexia
ChiaMucil: A New Kind of Fiber Supplement
Most adults in the U.S. and Europe get significantly less fiber than what's recommended, raising the risk for bowel irregularity as well as serious chronic conditions such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease.1 A smart supplement can help bridge this so-called fiber gap while addressing other health concerns.
Key Benefits
Chia's combination of soluble and insoluble fiber and additional nutrients means that ChiaMucil is uniquely positioned to support consumer health and well-being in a variety of ways.
Digestive Health
Benexia's ChiaMucil ®, a premium, whole-food fiber supplement made from chia seeds, offers a unique blend of soluble and insoluble fibers plus additional nutrients not found in other fiber products.
4 g extra fiber consumers can add to their diet with a single daily serving of ChiaMucil® .
A Full Fiber Package
A single-tablespoon serving of whole chia seeds delivers around 40% of adults' daily fiber needs. ChiaMucil® concentrates chia fiber up to 56%. In addition to fiber, ChiaMucil offers naturally-occurring:
• Alpha-linoleic acid (ALA, an essential omega-3 fatty acid)
• High-quality plant protein
• Vitamins, minerals, and phytochemical antioxidants
ChiaMucil can also be sweetened naturally with nocalorie, non- nutritive sweeteners such as stevia and is free of added sugars, artificial colors, and flavors. These properties, again, are unique to chia-derived fiber supplements.
ChiaMucil can play a key role in supporting regular bowel movements and improving constipation. 2
Blood Sugar Control and Metabolic Health
Chia's soluble fiber prevents dietary fat and cholesterol absorption, while slowing the digestion rate of carbohydrates. This translates to healthier blood sugar levels and a lower type 2 diabetes (T2D) risk and may even support treatment for people with existing T2D. 3
Prebiotic Effects
Chia fiber has a known prebiotic effect on the human microbiome, increasing strains of good bacteria like Enterococcus and Lactobacillus.4 These beneficial microbes are involved in the production of short-chain fatty acids (SFCAs), which are linked to healthier metabolic regulation and improved glucose sensitivity. 5 They're also known to help fight inflammation and support heart, brain, and immune health.6
Appetite Control and Weight Management
The fiber from chia seeds has been shown to help suppress appetite, as well as promote weight loss when eaten as part of a reduced-calorie diet.7 Chia seed's soluble fiber may also limit dietary fat absorption, further supporting weight loss. 8
Heart Health
Daily chia consumption is tied to lower LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood pressure. Chia's ALA omega-3 fatty acids and phytochemicals also exert cardioprotective effects.9,10

As a byproduct of chia oil production, chia fiber powder is an innovative upcycled ingredient crafted from 100% pure, pulverized chia seeds. Benexia's chia flour is produced using Microtech® a proprietary micro-milling process that turns chia into a clean, pure powder without the need for additives, processing aid ingredients, solvents, or enzymes is an advanced low-temperature process, that is free of chemicals and solvents. Microtech® provides ingredients with a standardized particle size which offers application versatility.
