Oat Bran Powder to significantly reduce the risks associated with lifestyle diseases
Diet and lifestyle are major factors thought to influence susceptibility to many diseases. Drug abuse,
tobacco smoking, and alcohol drinking, as well as a lack of exercise may also increase the risk of
developing certain diseases, especially later in life. In many Western countries, people began to eat
more meat, dairy products, vegetable oils, sugary foods, and alcoholic beverages during the latter half of
the 20th century. People also developed sedentary lifestyles and greater rates of obesity. Rates of
colorectal cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, endometrial cancer and lung cancer started increasing
after this dietary change. People in developing countries, whose diets still depend largely on low-sugar
starchy foods with little meat or fat have lower rates of these cancers.
Beta-Glucan, a soluble fibre forms a thick gel in the digestive tract that
binds excess cholesterol and slow down sugar absorption in the system.
For maximal absorption, oral β(1,3)-D-glucan should be taken on an empty
stomach. It is reported that enterocytes facilitate the transportation of
β(1,3)-glucans and similar compounds across the intestinal cell wall into
the lymph, where they begin to interact with macrophages to activate
immune function. Radiolabeled studies have verified that both small and
large fragments of β-glucans are found in the serum, which indicates that
they are absorbed from the intestinal tract. M cells within the Peyer’s
patches physically transport the insoluble whole glucan particles into gut
associated lymph tissue
Oat is a rich source of the water-soluble fibre (1,3/1,4) β-glucan, and its effects on health have been extensively studied over the last 30 years. Oat β-glucans can be highly concentrated in different types of oat brans.

APPLICATIONS
Consuming foods
containing beta-glucan
may lower risk for heart
disease by lowering LDL
and blood pressure. The
soluble fibre will also lead
glucose to be absorbed
slower thus limiting
spikes in blood glucose
and insulin in diabetic
patients
PRODUCT FEATURES
Oats, oat bran and oatmeal contain a specific type of fibre known as beta-glucan which is particularly concentrated in the
outer layers of the grain, This soluble fiber has multiple beneficial effects on health, lowering the risk of heart disease,
obesity, diabetes and cancer
