Nuvexa's unique formulation
Nuvexa contains the patented active ingredient FBCx, which stands for ‘Fat Binding Complexer’, a naturally sourced fibre also known as alpha-cyclodextrin (alfadex).

When taken with a fatty meal or snack, Nuvexa surrounds and binds with dietary fats when they enter the stomach, preventing their digestion and absorption. This fat-containing ‘complex’ is then passed naturally.(5)

Nuvexa has been shown to bind up to 9 times its own weight in dietary fat.6 This can help reduce up to 54g (equivalent to 2,036 kJ or 486 calories) of dietary fat from being absorbed by your body each day. (4)

That’s equal to more than 11 teaspoons of dietary fat every day.(6,7)

Directions & dosage:
Adults: Take 2 tablets with a meal or snack, 3 times a day. Not recommended to be taken with meals or snacks low in fat.

If you’re on a low fat diet consult your healthcare professional.

As Nuvexa contains dietary fibre, ensure you have an adequate intake of water when taking Nuvexa.

Nuvexa is well tolerated, however it may cause gastrointestinal upset if the recommended dosage is exceeded.
