Beta-glucan is a soluble fibre found in oats. This naturally derived ingredient is particularly well-known for its heart health benefits and helps to lower cholesterol and the associated risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD).
Multiple clinical studies show that 3g of beta-glucan per day lowers cardiovascular disease risk by as much as 20%.
“We are delighted to have won a top industry award for OatWell and are excited about communicating the result to our customers,” said Ruedi Duss, global business manager for OatWell at DSM Nutritional Products. “Currently, products containing OatWell are primarily positioned for cholesterol reduction to reduce risk of CVD, which remains the leading cause of death in the developed world.
“In the future, we will launch additional value propositions to support customers in communicating the benefits that oat beta-glucan can deliver for blood glucose reduction and support of digestive health. The FiSA award serves to validate that OatWell is a truly innovative ingredient that can add real value to our customers’ businesses by delivering a safe, natural and efficacious benefit to the consumer.”
