Improvement of the bowel function to promote a healthy digestion

Oats contains a unique combination of soluble and insoluble dietary fibres. Soluble fibres are responsible for increasing the viscosity of the gut and increasing the transit time of stool through the bowel while insoluble dietary fibres add bulk to the stool.. In order to achieve these advantages, a product must contain at least 6g of oat fibres per 100g, or respectively 3g per 100 kcal.
