Health claims for oat beta-glucan approved by European Food Safety Authority and Ministry of Health Malaysia:
- 3g of oat-beta glucan daily help lower cholesterol.
- Oat soluble fiber (beta-glucan) helps to lower the rise of blood glucose provided it is not consuming together with other food.
- Consumption of beta-glucan form oats contributes to the reduction of the glucose rise after a meal
How does Biogrow® Oat BG22® work?
Studies have shown that high viscosity produced from oat beta-glucan with high molecular weight is the key determinant for its cholesterol-lowering and blood glucose-regulating effects in the human bodies*.
*Oat beta-glucan with high molecular weight (>2,000 kDa) has been scientifically shown to produce good viscosity effect in the gut for optimal cholesterol-lowering effect – EFSA Journal.
- Lowering Cholesterol Level
- Oat beta-glucan is a type of soluble fiber that produces a cholesterol-lowering effect due to its high viscosity.
- It dissolves inside the digestive tract where it forms a thick gel in the small intestine. The viscous ‘net’ traps cholesterol and cholesterol-related particles (bile acids) and prevents them from being absorbed into the blood stream. They are then passed, harmlessly out of the body.
- This results in a reduction in circulating – LDL /bad – cholesterol levels.
- Regulating Blood Glucose Level
- Oat beta-glucan (soluble fiber) dissolves inside the digestive tract and forms a thick gel in the gut area, thus slows down the stomach emptying and delays the update of glucose from the small intestines.
- These effects result in lower blood glucose and insulin concentrations after a meal.
- Stabilised post-meal glucose availability and improved insulin responses can be achieved.
