Barley Beta Glucan is a high ß-glucan concentrate derived from Barley (60% ßG concentrate) with uncharacteristic high viscosity. The importance of viscosity has been accepted by the FDA and well documented by leading fiber scientist as the major property responsible for the physiological effects of consuming viscous soluble fiber, i.e., lower blood lipids. Barley Beta Glucan has been shown to be as much as 80 times more viscous than leading ß-glucan concentrates.

ß-glucan is found in the cell wells of grains and by using a proprietary and patented process we allow the structure of the natural grain to remain relatively unchanged, preserving the original high viscosity of ß-glucan. Just a few grams of this novel ingredient offer the multiple heart health advantages of consuming four bowls of oatmeal! No other ß-glucan concentrate available is like Barley Beta Glucan!

Product Description:
ß-Glucan concentrate (soluble dietary fiber) obtained from barley (60% by weight). Barley ß-Glucan is a natural viscous polysaccharide (fiber) comprised of individual glucose molecules that are linked together by a series of beta (1-3) and beta (1-4) linkages.



Science:
Numerous scientific studies have demonstrated the positive effects of ß-glucan on helping maintain cholesterol levels that are already within the normal range.* In general, high viscosity ß-glucan is believed to work by increasing the viscosity of the contents within the intestinal tract. Binding of bile acids is one of the proposed mechanisms of ß-glucan. Fecal excretion of bile acids is increased when viscous ß-glucan bind to them, increasing the liver's capacity to metabolize cholesterol for bile acid synthesis. Other studies have confirmed a significant reduction in glycemic response related to the high viscosity of ß-glucan. ß-Glucan also offers health benefits for the cardiovascular system, blood glucose levels and weight management.
