Betavivo Crispy Oat Heart Cereal Betavivo Crispy Oat Heart Cereal contains a high content of beta-glucan which is scientifically shown to lower cholesterol & reduce the rise of blood glucose after a meal. It is ideal for anyone who needs to lower their blood cholesterol, those with impaired glucose tolerance e.g. pre-diabetics & type 2 diabetics & anyone who wants to maintain normal blood cholesterol levels & a healthy heart. Beta-glucan from oats has been shown to reduce blood cholesterol. It forms a viscous gel in the gastrointestinal tract which binds with bile acid & exits the body naturally. When the liver produces more bile acid, it uses the cholesterol in the bloodstream, resulting in a reduction in blood cholesterol levels. The gel also acts as a protective barrier which slows down the absorption of carbohydrates, reducing the blood glucose rise after that meal. Each serving of Betavivo Crispy Oat Heart Cereal contains 3g of beta-glucan from oats, the daily amount required to reduce cholesterol. To have an effect on blood sugar, there must be 4g of beta-glucan per 30g of carbohydrates
- Betavivo Crispy Oat Heart Cereal contains over twice the concentration at 8.5g of beta-glucan per 30g of carbohydrates. Daily consumption of Betavivo Crispy Oat Heart Cereal usually reduces cholesterol levels after 2-3 months, although the longer the period of consumption, the greater the probability of achieving the intended effect.
