Description
OAT+ is a product based on oat flour, rich in fibre, that provides constant and long-term energy supply, without causing any insulin peaks.
Oat flour is obtained by milling the seeds of Avena sativa, Graminaceae family. It contains mainly starch (70%), protein (17%), fat (7%) and fibre as well as vitamins and mineral salts. The protein content is high if you consider that it is 50% more than in wheat flour and contains a good acid framework. In vegan or vegetarian diets it is an excellent alternative above all for its high content of the Lysine amino acid which is normally lacking in cereals. Furthermore oat flour is high in fibre, which helps for the bowel and digestion to work correctly. Starch is digested and absorbed slowly so that the glycaemic index has no peaks and the product can be used by diabetics. The fibre portion contains a high percentage of beta-glucans, beneficial molecules for the treatment of some metabolic therapies. When beta-glucans deposit in the intestine, they trap cholesterol from food in a non-absorbable gel that crosses the bowel getting rid of the cholesterol. Its cholesterol-lowering property comes from this. Finally, oat contains nitrogenous phenolic compounds, avenanthramides, that are powerful anti-inflammatories that can protect from cancer and inhibit cell proliferation.
Use
It is recommended to mix a portion of 50 g (a heaping scoop) in 200 ml of water or another beverage of choice. OAT+ can be taken at any time of the day, and for athletes, also immediately before or after training. OAT+ can also be used for making sweets.
