Beta Glucan - 3600 mg beta glucan per daily dose (6 capsules) - 90 capsules - from Unimedica
Beta-glucans help to maintain normal blood cholesterol levels. In addition, beta-glucans from at least 4 g of oats contribute to a smaller rise in blood glucose levels after a meal. Beta-glucans are specific types of polysaccharides — long-chain sugars — that occur in the cell walls of fungi, cereals and some bacteria. The beta-glucan from Unimedica is derived from oats. Because beta-glucan can bind water, it can swell in the stomach, helping to promote a feeling of fullness and to prevent constipation.

Produktinformationen
What are the benefits of Beta Glucan from Unimedica?
Beta Glucan can help control the rise in blood sugar levels after meals when consumed as part of a meal. This contributes to a longer-lasting feeling of fullness. Additionally, Beta Glucan helps maintain normal cholesterol levels.
The positive effects on blood sugar and cholesterol levels have been scientifically validated and confirmed by the European Food Safety Authority for beta glucans derived from oats and barley. To achieve these benefits, a minimum of 3 g of beta glucan must be consumed daily through food.
What is Beta Glucan?
Beta glucans are soluble, indigestible fibers belonging to the polysaccharide group and are found in the cell walls of grains, as well as in fungi, algae, and bacteria. Beta glucans retain water, which increases stool volume and helps relieve constipation. They also nourish "good" gut bacteria like Lactobacillus. That's why a breakfast with oat-based muesli or porridge supports well-being. For those who don't enjoy the taste or are in a hurry, Unimedica Beta Glucan capsules offer a convenient alternative.
How much Beta Glucan is in Unimedica capsules?
Each Unimedica Beta Glucan capsule contains 600 mg of beta glucan. A daily dose of 6 capsules provides the 3 g of fiber needed for the beneficial effects.
How does Beta Glucan lower blood sugar and fat levels?
Beta-glucan binds bile acids in the intestine, which are then excreted. At the same time, it stimulates the formation of new bile acids from cholesterol in the liver. This process reduces the cholesterol level in the blood. In addition, due to its swelling properties, beta glucan slows down gastric emptying, prolonging the feeling of fullness, calming the digestive tract, and supporting digestive regulation—an effective aid in weight management.
Which foods contain beta glucans?
Barley and oats—especially oat bran—are rich in beta glucans. Mushrooms, algae, and yeasts are also sources of beta glucans.
