What is beta glucan? Beta-glucan is a polysaccharide (multiple sugar) that occurs in the cell walls of cereals, bacteria and fungi and is one of the indigestible dietary fibers. Beta Glucan and Cholesterol A number of clinical studies have also been published on the positive effect of beta-glucan on blood lipid levels. For example, physicians at the University of Minnesota (USA) administered 6 grams of beta-glucan from oats daily to men and women with high cholesterol levels. A control group, on the other hand, received glucose daily. After 6 weeks, the total cholesterol level, especially the LDL cholesterol level, had decreased significantly in the beta-glucan group. (Source: Queenan et al. Concentrated oat beta-glucan, a fermentable fiber, lowers serum cholesterol in hypercholesterolemic adults in a randomized controlled trial, Nutr J. 2007 Mar 26, 6:6.) In its scientific opinion on health claims for beta-glucan and its effect on cholesterol levels, the competent body of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) determined that there is a connection between the consumption of Beta-glucan from oats and a reduction in LDL levels in the blood. The positive effect occurs with a daily intake of 3g of beta-glucans from oats, oat bran, barley or barley bran or from mixtures of these cereals.
