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

• ChiaMucil is a delicious and naturally regulating source of fiber, offering a simple way to support your daily fiber needs.

• Soluble fiber, such as that found in ChiaMucil, helps nourish beneficial bacteria in the gut, supporting a healthy gut microbiome and overall well-being.

• The dietary fiber from chia seeds, including both soluble and insoluble types, promotes digestive health by aiding regularity and supporting the transit of food through the intestines.

• ChiaMucil may help support healthy cholesterol levels and blood sugar management. Chia seeds, a key ingredient in ChiaMucil, contain fiber that has been shown to reduce cholesterol and slow the release and absorption of sugars. As chia fiber forms a gel in the digestive system, it may help regulate these processes, contributing to overall metabolic health.
