All OatWell products contain Oat beta-glucan which has been proven to lower the cholesterol level in the blood.

OatWell™ is everything the heart could wish for
Improving your diet is an important step towards preventing heart disease. Cholesterol is a risk factor for heart disease along with high blood pressure, smoking and being overweight. Heart disease may be a leading killer but that does not mean you can’t protect yourself. There is a simple solution: OatWell™.

The OatWell™ product range is especially high in oat beta-glucan. Oat beta-glucan is a soluble dietary fibre and the active component of oats that reduces cholesterol in the blood.

Just 3 grams of oat beta-glucan per day is sufficient to reduce the blood cholesterol level. It’s as simple as that.

Do the best for your heart, naturally!

FAQ

What is OatWell™?

OatWell™ is natural oat bran. OatWell™ contains high concentrations of valuable beta-glucans, soluble fibres, which are found naturally within oats. Oat beta-glucan affects blood cholesterol levels. More than 100 scientific studies have proven the positive effects of oat beta-glucan. These positive effects of oat beta-glucan were first discovered in the 1960s and have been continually researched since.

How does OatWell™ work?
The 3g of oat beta-glucan contained in one serving of the OatWell™ products stimulates the production of bile acids. Bile acids are composed of cholesterol. Circulating cholesterol is thus used up and less cholesterol enters the blood stream. OatWell™ products can be used as part of a healthy diet as a manner of naturally lowering a slightly raised blood cholesterol level.

For whom are OatWell™ products suitable?
The OatWell™ products are suitable for the entire family and for all health-conscious people who want to positively influence their blood cholesterol level.

To what extent does OatWell™ oat beta-glucan affect the LDL cholesterol level?
More than 100 scientific studies have been carried out and published in well-known scientific journals regarding the effect of oat beta-glucan on the cholesterol level in the blood. Studies regarding various foodstuffs (breakfast cereals, bread, cakes and pastries, drinks, pasta, snacks, etc.) have shown that beta-glucan can reduce the unwanted LDL cholesterol level by up to 10%. The HDL cholesterol level remains unaffected.

How have the cholesterol-reducing effects of OatWell™ been proven?
More than 100 international studies have proven the positive effects of oat beta-glucan on a raised cholesterol level. Additionally, internationally recognised associations such as the European Society of Cardiology or the European Food Safety Authority confirm the preventative advantages of oat beta-glucan on blood cholesterol levels. On 14 November 2011 the European Commission published its decision in favour of the health claims of oat beta-glucan. In order to demonstrably and significantly reduce the cholesterol level, the intake of 3g/day of oat beta-glucan is necessary over a period of two to three weeks. The numerous clinical studies with OatWell™ oat beta-glucan also confirm this positive effect.

How many portions of OatWell™ should be consumed per day?
The cholesterol level can be reduced through the intake of the daily amount of 3g of oat beta-glucan. Each portion of the OatWell™ products contains the full 3g of beta-glucan and thus positively affects the cholesterol level. Oat beta-glucan is a naturally occurring dietary fibre contained in oats. Dietary fibres are valuable plant-based ingredients which should be part of every balanced diet.

How long does it take until the cholesterol level changes?
Daily intake of OatWell™ results in a measurable reduction of the cholesterol level after just a few weeks. In order to achieve the best results, a regular intake over a longer period of time is recommended.

Can OatWell™ be used in combination with cholesterol-lowering medication?
You should consult your doctor before consuming cholesterol-reducing foodstuffs if you are taking drugs to lower your cholesterol level.

What happens when I stop eating OatWell™?
The positive effects on the cholesterol level are only effective for as long as the products are consumed. If OatWell™ consumption is discontinued the positive effects on cholesterol disappear and the cholesterol levels return to their original values.

Can I also consume OatWell™ when my cholesterol level is normal?
Yes – OatWell™ products contain dietary fibres – such as oat beta-glucan – which play an important role in a balanced diet. Healthy Eating guidelines recommend that everyone should have a fibre intake of at least 25g per day to ensure healthy functioning of the gut, as well as decreased risk for lifestyle associated chronic diseases.

What should I also pay attention to?
An increased cholesterol level is just one of the risk factors of coronary heart disease. The effects of beta-glucan on the cholesterol level can be supported through a balanced and varied diet, not smoking, sufficient exercise and bodyweight control. Lead a healthy lifestyle for the sake of your heart!
