JOINING THE FIGHT AGAINST METABOLIC SYNDROME

Abdominal or central obesity (high visceral fat)

Hypertension (high blood pressure)

Hyperglycemia (high blood sugar level)

Dyslipidemia (high blood fatty acid concentrations)

Low blood levels of HDL (good) cholesterol

Metabolic syndrome (MS) is defined by a combination of three or more of the above medical conditions¹

Fighting MS, Naturally

Metabolic Syndrome or MS is the result of unhealthy eating habits and lack of physical activity. Growing evidence shows that high intakes of cereal grains like oat bran powder are beneficial. The use of health claims with beta-glucan-rich foods such as oat bran powder for cholesterol reduction and glucose regulation have been allowed in Malaysia. Thus far, no human adverse effects have been reported following the long term consumption of a diet rich in oat beta-glucans (OBG)².

Through many clinical trials, the ability of OBG to form highly viscous solutions in the human gut has been found to be the basis of its health benefits, which include lowering blood cholesterol levels, lowering postprandial glucose and insulin responses, and potentiating the feelings of satiety (feeling of fullness) for better weight control³.

How Does It Work?

Bioactive oat beta-glucan → Increased viscosity → Delayed glucose absorption → Reduced glucose peak → Reduced insulin secretion → Stabilised glucose availability
