🌱 The Power of Extracta Dietary Fibres Against Inflammaging 🌱

As we age, our bodies undergo many changes—one of which is the rise of chronic, low-grade inflammation, often referred to as inflammaging. This ongoing inflammation is a key contributor to age-related conditions like cardiovascular disease, metabolic disorders, and cognitive decline.

Inflammation is a normal part of your body’s response to injuries and invaders (like germs). It promotes healing and helps you feel better. However inflammation that happens when there’s no injury or invader can harm healthy parts of your body and cause a range of chronic diseases.

Acute inflammation (The Good!)
This is your body’s natural response to heal itself after injury, repair damaged tissue, and defend against harmful pathogens. It begins rapidly and lasts for a short period.
Chronic inflammation (The Bad!)
Chronic inflammation is believed to accelerate the ageing process, it can last for months to years. It is systemic, low-grade inflammation that is the underlying cause of most, if not all, major health conditions including: Alzheimer's disease. Arthritis (including rheumatoid arthritis).

But here’s the good news: our diet plays a significant role in managing inflammaging. 

Extracta is dedicated to producing bioactive (compounds in foods or supplements that produce beneficial effects on health)  dietary fibres sourced locally in Australia. Our premium fibres support gut health, aid digestion, and combat chronic inflammation with their prebiotic and antioxidant properties. 

✨ How do Extracta fibres help?

  • Gut Health & Immune Support: A healthy gut is the foundation of a balanced immune response. Our prebiotic fibres feed beneficial gut bacteria, leading to the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) like butyrate, which have anti-inflammatory effects.
  • Targeting Inflammaging: The unique properties of our fibres, sourced from ingredients like citrus peel and grape skins, help regulate immune activity and maintain healthy inflammation levels.

🍇 Let’s reshape the conversation around ageing! Integrating Extracta’s dietary fibres into daily nutrition is a proactive step towards healthier ageing—keeping inflammation at bay and vitality within reach.

Sustainability with Purpose: By upcycling by-products from the food industry, Extracta offers natural solutions that are not only effective but also reduce waste and promote environmental stewardship.
