Vinitrox™ named finalist in the 2026 NutraIngredients Asia Awards

28 Oct 2026

Nexira is proud to announce that Vinitrox™, its clinically studied apple and grape polyphenol solution for sports performance, has been named a finalist in the 2026 NutraIngredients Asia Awards.

Natural polyphenols supporting sports performance Vinitrox™ is a unique and proprietary synergistic combination of apple and grape polyphenols, specifically developed for athletes and active consumers looking to enhance physical performance naturally. Its mechanism of action focuses on nitric oxide (NO), a key physiological mediator involved in vasodilation and blood flow.
Previous in vitro and ex vivo research on Vinitrox™ demonstrated increased eNOS activation, nitric oxide production and vasodilation.

This mechanism is particularly relevant in sports nutrition: by supporting vasodilation and blood flow, Vinitrox™ is designed to contribute to more efficient delivery of oxygen and nutrients to working muscles during physical activity.

A strong foundation of clinical research Vinitrox™ is backed by several years of scientific investigation into its effects on sports performance.

A published randomized, crossover, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study evaluated the effects of an acute dose of grape and apple polyphenols on endurance performance. The study reported improvements in physical capabilities, including a 10% increase in maximal workout duration and a 13% delay in the fatigue barrier with 500 mg/day of Vinitrox™.

Additional consumer studies have also investigated perceived muscle and cardio-respiratory fatigue as well as individual power during exercise. Watch our previous video filmed during a running contest to see Vinitrox™ in action.

Together, these results have established Vinitrox™ as a natural solution for sports nutrition formulations looking to combine performance benefits with fruit-derived polyphenols.

New clinical evidence on vascular performance
The science behind Vinitrox™ continues to grow. A new human clinical study provides further evidence of its benefits on vascular function, supporting more efficient oxygen delivery to working muscles.

By optimizing blood flow and oxygen delivery, Vinitrox™ helps make exercise more efficient and supports active individuals in sustaining their performance.

The latest findings further strengthen the key benefits of Vinitrox™:

• Clinically proven to increase oxygen deliveryHelps make exercise more efficient
• Enables athletes to perform more with the same effortSupports recovery through antioxidant protection
• Provides natural, stimulant-free performance from fruit polyphenols

This science-backed approach translates complex physiology into meaningful benefits for athletes and active consumers, reinforcing Vinitrox™ as a natural and effective solution for endurance and performance nutrition.

Natural performance without stimulants
Sports nutrition is no longer limited to professional athletes or traditional pre-workout products. Increasingly, active consumers are looking for solutions that fit naturally into their exercise routines while combining efficacy, naturality and scientific substantiation.

Vinitrox™ meets these expectations with a unique combination of fruit-derived polyphenols, a low daily dose of 500 mg and a stimulant-free positioning.

These characteristics make Vinitrox™ particularly relevant for sports nutrition and active lifestyle formulations designed to meet growing consumer expectations for natural, effective and scientifically supported solutions.
