What is Oat Beta-Glucan?
Oat beta-glucan is a type of fibre, which has the ability to absorb large amounts of water. This forms a thick gel within the stomach which traps cholesterol in the digestive system. These soluble fibres are naturally present in oats at a significantly high level compared to other grains. The action of trapping cholesterol in the digestive system helps to stop it circulating in the blood stream. The oat beta-glucans from oat based cereals also contributes to a reduction in the rise of blood glucose after a meal.
Scientific Approval
Oat beta-glucan has been subject to many scientific studies and has been recognised by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), which has officially confirmed oat beta-glucan’s health-promoting effects (EFSA Journal 2010;8(12):1885).
On 15 November the EU Commission gave final authorisation on the oat beta-glucan disease risk reduction health claim and published in the Official Journal of European Union.
