1. I have high cholesterol levels, how often should I take NH Oat Plus 26?


If your cholesterol levels are particularly high, we recommend you take 2 scoops twice daily, before breakfast and dinner for about 4-6 weeks. Once your cholesterol levels have stabilized, continue with 2 scoops daily.


2. What makes NH Oat Plus 26 different from other oat bran powder brands?


NH Oat Plus 26 is made from 100% organic oat bran powder imported from Australia and certified organic by the NASAA (Australia). It is produced through a highly refined process and contains 20% of beta-glucan. 2 scoops of NH Oat Plus 26 daily provides 3.6g of oat beta-glucan, the key to its ability in lowering cholesterol levels. It is a pleasant drink to enjoy everyday.


3. Is NH Oat Plus 26 beneficial to diabetics?


Yes, NH Oat Plus 26 is helpful for diabetics as it helps slow down the digestion rate of carbohydrates for a stable blood glucose level after meals.


4. How soon can I see improvement in my cholesterol levels?


With a minimum of 2 scoops of NH Oat Plus 26 daily, along with a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, improvements can be seen within 4 to 6 weeks.


A shaker is recommended for optimum mix and taste as NH Oat Plus 26’s powder is produced through an ultrafine milling technology resulting in the finest particles.


Alternatively, stir in a mug. Strictly no hot water. Take it before meals. Drink sufficient water throughout the day for optimum results.


1. Fill the shaker with cold / warm water or your favourite drink (about 300ml, strictly no hot water).

2. Pour in 2 scoops of NH Oat Plus 26.

3. Shake well until fully dissolved. Drink after preparation.
