Weight-loss and health benefits:
It is widely known that oat bran has numerous health benefits, including cardiovascular prevention (i. e. controlling cholesterol levels) and diabetes prevention.
For the past 9 years, the Dukan Diet has included oat bran as a fundamental part of its method.
Studies have shown that the stool of oat bran consumers is richer in calories than those who do not include oat bran in their diets. These properties are linked to the bran's milling (the size of its particles) and sifting (the separation of the flakes).
Oat bran that has been too finely or too coarsely milled loses its health benefits; oat bran that is not sufficiently sifted releases more simple sugars. Therefore, not all brans are the same, and most are milled and sifted in the traditional way solely for culinary use.
For medicinal use, medium milling and thorough sifting are essential. This combination is defined by the M2bisB6® index, which we have imposed as a requirement to our suppliers.

What effects does oat bran have once consumed?
As soon as it's swallowed, oat bran mixes with the bolus. If the meal includes liquids, its soluble fibres fill up with water, filling the stomach and having a powerful mechanical satiating effect. In the intestine, the intestinal bolus is created after having undergone the triple action of the gastric, bile and pancreatic juices.
The nutrients have been broken down into their basic constituents: proteins into amino acids, lipids into fatty acids, and carbohydrates into glucose. They are then ready to be absorbed by the intestinal walls into the blood.
This is the key stage at which oat bran reveals its positive effects. Its fibres combine with decomposed food particles, surrounding and attaching to them, preventing them from passing into the bloodstream, pulling them into the colon and ending up in stools along with their precious calorific cargo. This creates a reduction in calories, cholesterol and sugar.

How it works:
Two simple, but essential physical properties!
The beneficial effects of oat bran are twofold, and are underpinned by: its absorption capacity (up to 22 times its volume of water) and its viscosity, which allows it, just like a fly-catcher, to capture and stick to everything that comes into contact with its surface.
