CardioBran
Concentrated beta-glucan soluble fiber for heart and intestinal health
*Oat (Avena sativa) bran contains a unique polysaccharide matrix of beta-D- glucans. These beta-glucans exist in a blend of soluble beta-1,3 and insoluble beta-1, 4 chains and provide a highly palatable source of cardioprotective fiber. CardioBran provides 18 times more beta-glucans than whole oats. The beta-glucans are carefully extracted through a patented, all natural, aqueous, enzyme-free process in order to maintain the original molecular weight and viscosity potential unique to oat bran. Over 40 published clinical trials describe the many cardiovascular health benefits of oat beta- glucans. Multiple studies have indicated that oat glucans promote healthy lipid metabolism. A clinical study performed at the USDA Beltsville Human Nutrition Research Center in Maryland reported that oat beta-glucan supplementation provided statistically significant lipid support. Another clinical study reported that beta-glucan from oat fiber promoted healthy bile acid secretion. A randomized study conducted at Colorado State University indicated that oat cereal may support healthy lipoprotein production. Furthermore, a randomized, parallel-group pilot study suggested that oat consumption contributed to healthy lipid metabolism, glucose balance, and overall cardiovascular function. Inside the intestines, oat beta-glucan becomes a viscous polysaccharide, which contributes to its ability to delay gastric emptying, support healthy glucose and fat metabolism, and increase satiety. CardioBran also promotes intestinal health and motility, in part by increasing stool weight and helping to alleviate constipation. Beta-glucans increase fermentation in the large bowel and promote probiotic growth. This enhances the production of short chain fatty acids, which are supportive of colon cell health.
CardioBran is a concentrated source of oat beta-glucans, promoting healthy glucose and lipid metabolism as well as intestinal health and protection.
Three grams of oat bran soluble fiber daily, in a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease. One serving of Pure Encapsulations CardioBran provides 0.756 grams soluble fiber.
