What is Oat Beta-Glucan?
Oat beta-glucan is a soluble fibre that is particularly concentrated (up to 95%) in the oat bran (outer layer) of an oat grain. It is effective in reducing cholesterol levels and regulating blood glucose. Studies have shown that the consumption of 3g oat beta-glucan daily significantly reduces total and LDL (bad) cholesterol levels. Studies also showed that oat bran was far more effective than barley bran in lowering serum lipids.(1) Currently, oat beta-glucan is the only dietary fibre recognized by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) in its’ ability to reduce a disease risk.(2)
How does it work?
The viscous properties of oat beta-glucans are the key factors in positively effecting plasma cholesterol and glucose response.(3) They form a thick gel on the intestinal wall and entrap cholesterol and bile acid (contains cholesterol) to prevent them from being absorbed by the body. The increasing viscosity in the gut also helps slow down the breakdown of carbohydrates for more stable blood glucose levels.(4)
Benefits
1. Slows down the digestion rate of carbohydrates for a stable blood glucose level.
2. Interferes with cholesterol absorption to lower blood cholesterol level.
3. An excellent source of soluble fibre that helps relieve constipation.
The Effect of Oat Beta-Glucan Intake on Cholesterol Level
Clinical studies showed that the intake of 3g and 5g of beta-glucan daily for 5 weeks resulted in a significant reduction in Total and LDL cholesterol levels.

Soluble fibre (beta-glucan) from oat bran, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease.(6)
