Betaglucare Oat Powder, has a soluble dietary fibre from oats; beta-glucan. Beta-glucan when eaten daily may help reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol & blood glucose levels after meals. The oat flavour is quite mild and is a great easy addition to smoothies & cereals. It is most effective when consumed after a meal.

When this product is consumed, the beta-glucan dissolves and forms a gel. This gel binds with bile acid in the digestive system which contains LDL cholesterol (bad) cholesterol. Usually, this cholesterol would be re-absorbed into the body during digestion however by binding with the bile acid the gel prevents re-absorption of the LDL cholesterol, thereby reducing your cholesterol levels.

 In addition, the liver then extracts LDL (bad) cholesterol from the bloodstream to produce replacement bile acid. This has the effect of further reducing LDL cholesterol levels.

When Betaglucare reaches the stomach, it forms a viscous gel. This gel forms a thin layer inside the small intestine which slows down the uptake of carbohydrates. This leads to lower postprandial blood glucose and lower blood insulin after eating.

This product contains the highest molecular weight beta-glucan available
