Oat bran and cholesterol

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.
