Oxxynea®: Polyphenols Concentrate protects the metabolism over 24 hours.

1. The Nutritional Gap: Challenges in Modern Diets

1.1 Declining Fruit and Vegetable Consumption

Over the past few decades, global fruit and vegetable consumption has seen a worrying decline. Busy lifestyles, urbanization, and the growing reliance on ultra-processed foods have all contributed to this trend. Additionally, fresh produce is often perceived as inconvenient or expensive compared to prepackaged alternatives, further widening the nutritional gap.

This shift has led to widespread deficiencies in essential bioactive compounds, such as polyphenols, which are critical for maintaining metabolic balance. Polyphenols, found in abundance in fruits, vegetables, and certain botanicals, are known for their potent antioxidant properties and ability to regulate oxidative stress—a key factor in preventing chronic diseases. However, the modern diet’s lack of diversity and reliance on calorie-dense, nutrient-poor foods exacerbate this deficit, leaving a large portion of the population vulnerable.

1.2 The Role of Polyphenols in Health

Polyphenols do more than act as antioxidants. They influence numerous physiological pathways, including inflammation, metabolism, and cellular signaling. Their role in redox homeostasis helps prevent damage caused by free radicals, while their metabolic benefits extend to weight management and cardiovascular health.

The absence of sufficient polyphenols in the diet not only undermines these benefits but also leaves the body’s antioxidant defenses compromised. Bridging this gap requires a concentrated and diverse source of polyphenols—a solution that Oxxynea® uniquely delivers, with its comprehensive spectrum of over 100 polyphenolic compounds.

2. Oxxynea®: A concentrated source of polyphenols fills the nutritional gap as 5 servings of fruits and vegetables

Oxxynea® is a mixture of 22 fruits and vegetables selected strictly according to the Mediterranean diet. The Mediterranean diet is a famous fruit and vegetable diet in countries such as Italy, Spain, Greece, Portugal, etc. People following this diet have balanced physique and health, thanks to which the Mediterranean Diet is recognized by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage.

This exceptional blend delivers a broad spectrum of bioactive compounds, offering over 100 polyphenols across five main families: flavan-3-ols, flavanones, ellagitannins, secoiridoids, and anthocyanins ( Primary active compounds: Total polyphenols (eq. gallic acid): ≥ 51%).

By supplementing only 90 - 450 mg/day, Oxxynea® fills the nutritional gap, providing similar benefits to supplementing 5 servings a day as recommended by WHO and the National Institute of Nutrition. Just using Oxxynea® in the morning will help protect the body from oxidation 24/24.

3. StudyScience supporting Oxxynea®

Oxxynea® has been evaluated in a double-blind randomized, placebo-controlled clinical study conducted on healthy subjects in a cross-over design to evaluate the nutrikinetic and acute benefits of selected polyphenols on protecting against oxidative stress during the post-prandial period.

3.1 24-Hour Phenolic Load in One Intake

The nutrikinetic study demonstrated that Oxxynea® provides a sustained release of bioactive polyphenol metabolites over 24 hours. This feature mirrors the natural absorption pattern of polyphenols from a diet rich in fruits and vegetables. By delivering a steady phenolic load, Oxxynea® ensures continuous metabolic support, aligning with the physiological needs of the body throughout the day.

3.2 Post-Prandial Metabolic Homeostasis

A significant increase in MDA was observed in the placebo group after meal ingestion, validating it as a model for inducing oxidative stress. In contrast, the plasma MDA levels in the Oxxynea group increased only five hours after the meal, demonstrating the immediate benefits of polyphenol consumption.The protective effects are further evident when examining the cumulative production of MDA following the meal. Oxxynea significantly reduced postprandial MDA production, indicating a decrease in oxidative stress resulting from lipid peroxidation.

3.3 Physiological Benefits Beyond Antioxidant Defenses

Moreover, Oxxynea®'s bioactive polyphenols contribute to maintaining stable blood pressure (MAP), which is essential for overall cardiovascular and metabolic health. This benefit goes beyond providing antioxidant defenses, demonstrating its broader physiological impact.

4. Practical Applications of Oxxynea®

Oxxynea® is highly versatile, with an effective daily dosage range from as little as 90 mg to 450 mg. This flexibility allows manufacturers to incorporate it into a wide variety of applications, including dietary supplements, functional beverages, and fortified foods.

Several leading brands have already recognized the value of Oxxynea®, incorporating it into their product lines. From polyphenol-enriched capsules to antioxidant beverages, these products showcase the ingredient’s ability to meet diverse consumer needs. Its growing presence in the market underscores its efficacy, safety, and appeal to health-conscious audiences.

With its diverse composition, clinical backing, and flexible applications, Oxxynea® represents a significant advancement in functional ingredients. For businesses seeking innovative, science-backed solutions, Oxxynea® offers a unique opportunity to address the growing demand for health-focused products in the food, dietary supplement, and nutricosmetics industries.
