PromOat™ is a gently-produced, natural extract from wholegrain oats with the associated health benefits of oats.
PromOat™ is rich in beta glucan, the soluble fibre component of the oat grain cell wall, located around the life-giving aleurone layer of the kernel.
Over 30 years of Research have demonstrated that diets rich in whole oats and/or oat bran promote health in a number of areas:
- heart (cardiovascular) health
- protection against obesity and type 2 diabetes
- maintaining a healthy digestive system and gut
- protecting against conditions such as colo-rectal cancer and ulcerative colitis
In all of these areas, research has definitively identified that the key component of the grain producing these effects is the Beta Glucan soluble fibre.
Importantly, the beta glucan must be structurally intact and in its natural form, as encountered in the wholegrain, to peform in this way.
Biovelop has carefully and systematically developed the PromOat™ ingredient such that its major beta glucan component is retained in its native, undegraded form, and therefore retains its
high molecular weight. In this way, maximum function and properties are guaranteed.
The health benefits of PromOat™ can be divided into the following major subsections:
Fat Replacement /Reduction: Lowering of harmful fats while retaining the full-fat texture and mouthfeel
Glycaemic Index Modulation: protection against obesity and type 2 diabetes
Cholesterol Reduction: Oat beta glucan lowers serum cholesterol and promotes heart health
Gastrointestinal health: Oat beta glucan soluble fibre protects the gut and colon from many ”lifestyle” diseases, as well as improving digestion and reducing constipation.
