Oat bran consists of the outer layers, the germ and the outer parts of the endosperm of the oat grain. For this reason, it contains more fibre and more beta-glucan than oat flakes. Oat beta-glucan is an independent factor in a cholesterol-conscious diet because it has been proven to reduce blood cholesterol levels. This effect occurs with a daily intake of 3 g of oat beta-glucan.
1.5 g of beta-glucan are provided by 20 g of Kölln Oat Bran Flakes, 25 g of Kölln Oat Bran Fleks®, 35 g of Delicate Kölln Oat Flakes, Regular Rolled Kölln Oat Flakes or Kölln Soluble Oats Instant. A high cholesterol level is a risk factor for coronary heart disease. This is caused by several risk factors. Also pay attention to a varied and fat-conscious diet.
