Frequently asked questions

What is oat beta-glucan?

A soluble fibre found in oats. Beta heart uses a concentrated oat ingredient called OatWell.

Why does the dose matter?

The authorised claim depends on 3 g of oat beta-glucans a day. One scoop gives half that.

Is Beta heart a medicine?

No. It is a food. It does not replace anything your doctor has prescribed.

Can I add it to porridge?

Herbalife suggests water, juice or a Formula 1 shake. In porridge you would count oat fibre twice, which is no bad thing, but the label figures would not apply.

Is it suitable for coeliacs?

It may contain wheat, rye and barley, and it contains oat. Speak to your dietitian before using it.
