Oat Fiber (Oat Beta-Glucan)

PromOat® Oat Beta-Glucan is a high-concentration, soluble oat bran fiber, containing very little insoluble fiber. It is extracted from gluten-free and Non-GMO wholegrain oats without the use of chemicals. PromOat® is a natural source of beta-glucan, the dietary fiber in oat bran that provides important health and functional benefits. In the body, oat beta-glucan helps to maintain healthy cholesterol levels, blood glucose levels and digestion. As a functional ingredient, it thickens and stabilizes emulsions and imparts an indulgent, creamy mouthfeel. PromOat® is available in conventional and organic quality.
