Chia Fiber for Gut Health & Digestive Nutrition

Gut health

All health & nutrition trends

Most people still consume far less fiber than recommended, creating a global fiber gap linked to a higher risk of non-communicable diseases. Chia ingredients help brands develop products that respond to growing interest in fiber-rich nutrition.

  1. Trend

    Closing the fiber gap

    Estimates indicate that around 90% of people worldwide do not meet recommended fiber intakes, making fiber one of the most important nutritional gaps globally. This growing awareness has fueled trends such as Fibermaxxing, reflecting consumers' increasing focus on fiber-rich diets.

  2. Trend

    Beyond digestive health

    Emerging research continues to explore the relationships among dietary fiber, the gut microbiome and microbial metabolites, including the potential relevance to areas beyond digestion such as immune function and the gut-brain axis.

  3. Benexia solution

    Built around a naturally balanced combination of soluble and insoluble fiber, XIA Fiber helps brands develop fiber-rich products for digestive-health and gut microbiome-focused innovation.
