One of the greatest titles in the world is Parents, and one of the biggest blessings in the world is to have Parents to call Mom and Dad.

This Parents’ Day , show your love and care to your parents by giving them the invaluable gifts of heart health and empowerment with “scientifically tested & proven” oat beta-glucan or oat bran products. It is already of public knowledge that by taking 3g of beta-glucan from oat bran can help reduce cholesterol in a natural way. Many health experts have confirmed the positive association between lowered blood cholesterol levels and reduced risk of developing heart disease. Every 1% reduction in blood cholesterol level is shown to reduce 2% of heart disease risk.

Due to high public awareness on the cholesterol-lowering benefit of oat beta-glucan, there are now so many similar oat bran products emerging in the consumer market. How to choose the best among them? As a smart consumer, it is imperative to check the product label for more information. Most importantly, the cholesterol-lowering efficacy of the product must be substantiated with scientific evidence. The criteria listed below will guide you through your shopping process:

1. Choose products which are fully made of oat bran powder and without other non-oat ingredients.

2. Check the oat beta-glucan content at the nutrition information on the product packaging. In the Malaysian context, the maximum amount of oat beta-glucan allowed in food products is only 20 g per 100 g or 20% .
