Solabia has introduced BioEcolians (GOS) a unique prebiotic gluco-oligosaccharide obtained via a patented process of enzymatic synthesis. Its efficacy lies in the specific nature of its bonds, which inhibits the hydrolytic action of the gastro-intestinal enzymes, thus allowing it to reach the intestines where it is fermented by endogenous intestinal flora.
 
However, the action of BioEcolians does not stop there, according to the company. Probiotics, like all bacteria, need substrate and particularly a carbon source to grow. The use of BioEcolians gives a boost to probiotics like Lactobacillus casei, acidophilus, reuteri, paracasei and rhamnosus, but also by Bifidobacterium longum and animalis. So, BioEcolians is a good partner to formulate symbiotic.
 
In 2006, researchers put a spotlight on a variation of the microbial flora between obese and thin people. They show that the intestinal flora plays an essential role in weight gain and several factors might explain this phenomenon. Among the factors that have been investigated during recent years, there is lipid metabolism, inflammation, satiety effects and the capacity of the bacteria to extract the energy from food.
 
A preclinical study demonstrates the action of BioEcolians on the energetic metabolism and more precisely on the AMPK (AMP Protein kinase). The AMPK negatively regulates the anabolic pathway, for instance lipogenesis or triglycerides synthesis and positively regulates the catabolic pathways like lipid oxidation. BioEcolians contributes to reduce the weight gain of 10%, the adiposity of 14% and the triglycerides of 28%. Moreover, it decreases the food intake of 24% contributing to the global weight management.
 
A daily use of BioEcolians helps the organism to durably control its energy metabolism and provides a mean for better weight control, according to Solabia.
 
The Solabia Group is specialized for more than 40 years in the fields of chemistry, biotechnology and plant extraction covering areas as varied as pharmacy, cosmetics and nutrition. Armed with this experience, Solabia has learned to create and develop technical products that meet the increasing demands of our modern society.
 
Solabia has several production sites in France and in Brazil. Concerned to guarantee the quality of its products and its services, all of its sites are certified ISO 9001:2000. Pidolates (original Mineral salts), BioEcolians (original Prebiotic) and Chondroitin sulfate are part of a range of ingredients manufactured by the Solabia group.
