FibrOat is derived from Swedish non-GMO oats from which Beta-Glucan has been extracted in a chemical-free process, such that 35% of the FibrOat powder is Beta-Glucan.
The benefits of oats in human health are well-documented in promoting satiety, normal laxation, lowering elevated blood cholesterol and in modulating blood glucose responses.
These benefits are attributed mostly to their content of Beta-Glucan, extensively researched for its health-promoting properties.
Around 50 clinical trials have established the benefits of oat Beta-Glucan.
Overall, it has been shown that 3 grams daily can lower LDL cholesterol by 3-5% and total cholesterol by 2-4%, with the greatest reductions in diabetics and those with the highest cholesterol levels.1 Other studies show that around 4 grams oat beta-glucan per 30 grams available carbohydrate improve the glucose response.(2)
FibrOat can reduce appetite, assist gut health, nourish the gut microflora and modulate cardiometabolic function.(3) FibrOat is a fine creamy-coloured soluble powder which thickens when added to liquid.
