  Positive effect on lipid metabolism and the immune system

   

  Beta Glucan: Strong Defense - Healthy Body

  A strong immune system is essential for our body to function normally. As a biological defense system of higher living beings, it prevents tissue damage from pathogens by removing microorganisms and foreign substances that have entered the body. In addition, the immune system has the ability to destroy the body's own cells that have become defective. The immune system includes a complex network of different organs, cell types and molecules. So it is not surprising that the immune system - apart from the individual genetic makeup - is the key to health and a long life.

   

  What is Beta Glucan?

  Beta-glucan is a polysaccharide (multiple sugar) that occurs in the cell walls of grain, bacteria and fungi and is one of the indigestible dietary fibers.

   

  Beta-glucan: cholesterol and blood sugar levels

  A number of clinical studies have also already been published on the positive effect of beta-glucan on blood lipid levels. For example, doctors at the University of Minnesota (USA) administered 6 grams of beta-glucan from oats to men and women with high cholesterol levels. In contrast, a control group received glucose daily. After 6 weeks, the level of total cholesterol, especially the level of LDL cholesterol, in the beta-glucan group had dropped significantly.

  (Source: Queenan et al. Concentrated oat beta-glucan, a fermentable fiber, lowers serum cholesterol in hypercholesterolemic adults in a randomized controlled trial, Nutr J. 2007 Mar 26; 6: 6.)

   

  In its scientific statement on health claims for beta-glucan and its effect on cholesterol levels, the responsible body of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) found that there is a connection between the consumption of beta-glucan from oats and a lowering of the LDL level can be considered proven in the blood.

   

  The inclusion of beta-glucans from oats or barley as part of a meal also helps reduce the rise in blood sugar levels after the meal.

   

  The positive effect is achieved with a daily intake of 3g beta-glucans from oats, oat bran, barley or barley bran or from mixtures of these cereals.
