What the evidence supports: lowering LDL cholesterol; immune claims are considerably weaker.
This scores how well-supported the claim above is — not how much benefit you personally would get. A high score on a narrow claim does not extend to everything the product is marketed for.
How long to take it
Ongoing for cholesterol; course-based for immune claims.
Who it's actually for
People managing cholesterol — that use is far better supported than the immune one.
Safe upper limit
Unverified
No formal limit; 3 g oat beta-glucan daily for cholesterol
Well tolerated. Fibre-related bloating at higher doses.
