Learn More From BENEO
With over half a billion people around the world being affected by cardiovascular diseases, consumers today are increasingly aware of how diet impacts both short and long-term wellbeing and this is driving demand for healthier food and beverages. BENEO’s Orafti® β-Fit is a natural, clean label wholegrain barley flour with 20% beta-glucans and unique health benefits that tap into today’s rising trends.
Discover the health benefits of Orafti® β-Fit
Our Orafti® β-Fit earned its certification from the American Heart Association. By just consuming 3 grams a day, it’s an easy way to enjoy the following benefits. This because of the naturally high beta-glucan content of 20%, which is significantly higher than other (more conventional) sources of oats/barley that only contain 6-7%.
Reduces blood
cholesterol
Orafti® β-Fit binds bile acids which are then excreted. As those are required for fat digestion, the liver will form new bile acid from cholesterol and thereby lower LDL cholesterol levels in the blood
Reduces the risk for
coronary heart disease
People suffering from high LDL-cholesterol levels in their blood, have a higher risk of developing heart problems. By reducing the LDL levels with Orafti® β-Fit in their diet plans, it offers consumers a solution to reduce this risk.
Lowers the blood
glucose response
By adding Orafti® β-Fit, the uptake of glucose from food is delayed in the small intestine. This serves as a blood sugar management solution.
Supports digestive
health
The increase in fibre enrichment, which improves the overall digestive wellbeing, supports the complete fermentation by the gut microbiota.
