Biogrow® Oat BG22® – Maintaining Healthy Cholesterol & Blood Glucose Levels, the Most Natural Way
Biogrow® Oat BG22® oat bran powder is fully made of all natural, Swedish oat bran. It provides clinically tested, bioactive oat beta-glucan with more than 20 published clinical studies on its cholesterol-lowering and blood glucose-regulating effects.
The features of Biogrow® Oat BG22® oat bran powder:
- 2-in-1 health benefits in a small and easy-to-consume serving size
- Provide only the clinically researched bioactive oat beta-glucan with high molecular weight (2,200 kDa) for cholesterol-lowering and blood glucose-regulating effects
- Daily serving of only 2 scoops / sachets (≈ 18 g) of Biogrow® Oat BG22® can provide the *recommended 3 g bioactive oat beta-glucan for optimal health benefits1
- **Laboratory-tested low in GI (< 55)2, suitable for pre-diabetic and diabetic patients

| 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. |

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.
