How it works
Soluble fibre forms a gel in the digestive tract that binds bile acids (made from cholesterol), preventing reabsorption and forcing the liver to use more cholesterol to make new bile acids.
Requires consistent daily intake to maintain effect. Oat products containing added sugar may offset cardiovascular benefits.
FDA-approved health claim. Meta-analyses confirm 3g daily oat beta-glucan reduces LDL by 5–10%. Endorsed by major cardiology guidelines.
