FAQs

What is Cerabeta?

Cerabeta is a natural product obtained from Canadian barley grains. Cerabeta is a soluble fiber that contains barley beta-glucan, which is the subject of an FDA-recognized health claim: 3 g a day, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease. Cerabeta is carefully formulated to contain barley beta-glucan in the right proportion to help you lower cholesterol levels naturally. 

How is Cerabeta 4-in-1 Barley Beta-Glucan made?

Cerabeta is made with exclusive non-GMO barley grains. To extract beta-glucan from non-GMO barley grains, and create Cerabeta, we’ve developed a patented processing technology called ACAPS (air-current assisted particle separation). Using ACAPS aids in the separation of fiber from other particles in barley, and does not use enzymes, solvents, or chemicals in the process.

How do I know if Cerabeta is working?

To know if Cerabeta is working, we recommend testing your cholesterol levels both before starting Cerabeta and after consistent use for at least 4–12 weeks. By comparing these results, you can see if Cerabeta has contributed to reducing your cholesterol levels. If you're using Cerabeta for other benefits like improved digestion or weight management, you may notice changes such as better gut health or increased satiety over time. Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized guidance.

Can I stop taking statins if I start using Cerabeta?

If you are taking statins, keep taking them as prescribed and take Cerabeta alongside them. Consult with your physician once your cholesterol levels are stable, and don't stop or change a medication without talking to your doctor first.

What is cholesterol?

Cholesterol is a fat-like substance that comes from two sources. Firstly, about 80% of cholesterol needed for your body is produced by the liver. The liver-produced cholesterol is enough to maintain vital physiological functions such as the synthesis of steroid hormones and vitamin D, as well as bile acids required for the metabolism of lipids and fat-soluble vitamins. The other 20% comes from food derived from animals. This includes meat, poultry, and dairy products. For more information on cholesterol, visit our cholesterol page.

What is barley beta-glucan?

Beta-glucan is a water-soluble dietary fiber naturally occurring in the cell walls of barley grains. Barley beta-glucan is comprised of linear chains of D-glucose monomers linked by β-(1-3) and β-(1-4) bonds. The FDA recognizes a health claim for barley beta-glucan and heart health, and Health Canada and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) accept claims for barley beta-glucan and lowering cholesterol. For more information on barley beta-glucan, check out this page.

Is Cerabeta's beta-glucan high molecular weight?

Yes. Research shows that higher molecular weight beta-glucan is what forms the thick gel that lowers LDL cholesterol. Cerabeta is separated from the barley with air, without the enzymes or chemicals that can break beta-glucan into smaller pieces, so it keeps its natural high molecular weight.

Is there scientific proof behind barley beta-glucan and cholesterol reduction?

Scientists worldwide have proven that barley beta-glucan lowers blood cholesterol. These studies have been submitted to regulatory organizations in Canada (Health Canada), USA (FDA) and Europe (EFSA) so that manufacturing companies are able confidently claim that a product containing barley beta-glucan really works. After a rigorous review of this scientific evidence, health agencies accept that 3 grams of barley beta-glucan a day helps lower cholesterol. This dosage has been formulated in Cerabeta.
