What is cholesterol?
Cholesterol is a fat-like substance produced by the liver and obtained from the diet. It is essential for cell membranes, hormones, bile acids, and vitamin D, which is important for bone health. Excess cholesterol can lead to arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) and increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases, including angina, heart attacks, strokes, and circulation problems. LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein) is the “bad” cholesterol that can accumulate in the arteries, while HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein) is the “good” cholesterol that helps remove excess. Triglycerides also contribute to cardiovascular risk. CardiOat® has been shown to lower LDL without affecting HDL, supporting overall heart health.
What is oat beta-glucan?
Oat beta-glucan is a soluble dietary fibre naturally found in oats and is often used as a natural cholesterol lowering remedy. It helps lower cholesterol, supports digestive health, and contributes to stabilising blood sugar levels. CardiOat® powder is particularly high in oat beta-glucan, making it an effective and convenient way to include this heart-healthy fibre in your daily diet.
