  5. Is this product similar to multi-grain products? How about cholesterol-lowering effects, which one is better?
    No, it’s not the same. BLM Oat Bran with Omega 3 is a specific health drink for lowering cholesterol. Taking 2 scoops daily provides 3.6g of oat beta-glucan, higher than the recommended daily 3g by the Health Ministry for lowering cholesterol levels. It also added with omega 3 fatty acids – an important nutrient for maintaining heart health. Multi-grain products are for general health and its beta-glucan amount is not known. Thus, its cholesterol-lowering effects are not significant.
    BLM Oat Bran with Omega 3 contained puffed black bean powder, which makes the bland oat bran powder so much tastier and gives it an aroma of puffed grains like a multi-grain product. It has no added sugar, a healthier choice for daily consumption.
