How are we different?
The original branded raw material Carolean™ Appetite Guard is made from carob seed powder (Ceratonia siliqua), xanthan gum and prickly pear leaf powder (Opuntia ficus-indica), providing a plant-based and study-supported plant powder complex. Standardised to over 70% swellable fibre, the powder is particularly suitable for taking before meals so that the fibre has enough time to develop. We obtain Carolean™ from the renowned French manufacturer Nexira. The prickly pear plants are grown in Tunisia under controlled organic and optimal climatic conditions. The prickly pear leaves are carefully harvested by hand so as not to destroy the delicate plants. They are then dried at low temperatures and ground into a fine powder. The seeds of the carob tree, also known as carob, are gently roasted and then ground into a fine powder. The result is two 100% pure plant powders that have been obtained entirely without the use of solvents that are then combined with xanthan gum to form a synergistic complex.
Nexira specialises in the production of purely natural and innovative plant powders and extracts. They have a long history of partnerships with exclusive suppliers and local farmers. In addition to sustainable agriculture, their vision includes processing high-quality, raw materials provided by nature as well as focusing on the origin of the raw materials.
For the capsule shells we use custom-made HPMC capsules that, unlike most other HPMC and pullulan capsules on the market, are 100% free from controversial additives such as carrageenans and PEG. We then package this product in environmentally friendly amber glass.

Dietary Fibre
Dietary Fibre
Plant-based foods contain a large amount of fibre. They are able to pass through the small intestine undigested and enter the large intestine unchanged, where they develop their high swelling capacity and unfold various properties with the accumulated water.
The nopal prickly pear cactus (Opuntia ficus-indica), which belongs to the cactus family, is also called Indian fig. The cacti can grow into a sprawling shrub up to 6m high. It produces yellow flowers with a red ring at their base. On the blue-frosted shoots, the intensely yellow-red to violet fruit bodies (i.e., prickly pears) form, getting their colour from an abundance of phytochemicals, such as Indicaxanthin, a plant dye from the group of betalains. The fibre-rich leaves of the prickly pear cactus are botanically transformed into water-storing shoots, which have exceptionally fine hairs.
The carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua) can live for several hundred years and grow up to 12m high. The trees thrive on rocky soils and develop a strong, deep root system that enables them to absorb water and nutrients from deeper layers of soil. Traditionally, the pulp of the carob pods is dried and ground into a powder known as carob powder. The seeds, from which the natural thickening agent carob bean gum can be produced, are not included in the carob powder.
