Oat fibre goodness for nutritious food experiences

Oats carry a healthy image in the consumer mind

Did you know that oat beta-glucans come with a lot of associated health benefits? There are more than 60 scientific publications indicating that oat beta-glucans can positively impact health: from microbiome modulation, to gut health, and ultimately cholesterol reduction or healthy blood sugar reduction.

80% of consumers¹ are aware of the health-supporting benefits of oats. Consumers associate oats with words such as ‘healthy’, ‘natural’, ‘nutritious’ and ‘tasty’.

Trust your gut

Why do consumers care about their gut health? Because they know a balanced gut and good digestion are important for a healthy lifestyle.

Many factors influence the health of the microbiome. Prebiotic fibres are one of the well-known modulators of the microbiome that can be easily incorporated into product formulations. The prebiotic effects of oat bran fibre are known and have been validated with years of research.

OatWell™ prebiotic fibre can help make your food and beverages nutritionally better while positively impacting the gut microbiome.
