Barley Beta-Glucan

Yes you can with barley beta-glucan

Cholesterol facts: Barley beta-glucan, the best beta-glucan

• Beta-glucan is found in the cell walls of barley, mushrooms, and fungi.
• But the type of beta-glucan that’s effective at lowering cholesterol comes from cereal grains, and barley is one of the richest sources.
• Barley provides the highest concentration of beta-glucan by volume.

Blood sugar facts: The viscous gel advantage

• Cerabeta 4-in-1 Barley Beta-Glucan forms a viscous gel in the gastrointestinal tract.
• This gel slows down the digestion carbohydrates, leading to a more gradual release of glucose into the bloodstream.
• This helps support healthy blood sugar levels after meals.

Weight management and gut health facts: The proactive and sustainable approach

• The key bioactive compound found in Cerabeta is barley beta-glucan soluble fiber, which works through 2 main mechanisms.
• Fermentability: In the large intestine, it acts as food for beneficial gut bacteria, promoting a healthy microbiome. This breakdown produces short-chain fatty acids that fuel colon cells and trigger the production of satiety hormones like glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1).
• Viscosity: This slows down digestion, prevents rapid blood sugar spikes by delaying the conversion of starchy foods into glucose by the enzymes, and it acts like a barrier in the small intestine, allowing for a gradual release of glucose into the bloodstream.
• These combined mechanisms make Cerabeta an excellent way to support weight management and a healthy gut.
