Oat BG22 Oat Bran Powder: Supports Healthy Cholesterol Levels
Biogrow® Oat BG22®: Maintaining Healthy Cholesterol 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 effects on cholesterol.
Beta-glucan from oats helps to reduce cholesterol
[Amount of oat beta-glucan recommended for cholesterol lowering effect is 3g per day]
Oat BG22: The Simple Way to Lower Cholesterol
Key Benefits:
Clinically proven high molecular weight (2,200 kDa) beta-glucan
Just 2 scoops daily (18g) provides the recommended 3g of beta-glucan
Low glycemic index (under 55)
Nutrient-rich: high in fiber, protein, magnesium, iron and zinc
Free from: sodium, trans fats, lactose, artificial ingredients, thickeners and fillers
Easy to Use:
Dissolves easily in cold or normal temperature water – no shaker needed!
How Does It Work?
How does Biogrow® Oat BG22® work? Studies have shown that high viscosity produced from oat beta-glucan with high molecular weight is the key determinant for its effects cholesterol*. *Oat beta-glucan with high molecular weight (>2,000 kDa) has been scientifically shown to produce good viscosity effect in the gut for optimal cholesterol-lowering effect – EFSA Journal.
Maintaining 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
Direction for Use:
