The secret to a healthier you:
The millions of beneficial bacteria in your gut.
Sorting through the constant stream of tips and advice about improving your health is an exhausting undertaking. Sometimes the best remedy is to ignore all the hype and false promises and just go with your gut. Literally. If you’re looking for a simple, natural gut health solution, remember these important words: NutraStat Barley Beta-Glucan.
Soluble fibre is an ideal prebiotic
Soluble fibre dissolves in water and is fermentable (prebiotic) in your digestive system. It feeds the good bacteria (called gut flora) in your gut to help balance your gut microbiome (a small ecosystem in the digestive system). Specifically, beta-glucan soluble fibre from barley has been linked with numerous prebiotic benefits that improve the health of your microbiome and overall gut health. NutraStat barley beta-glucan is the all-natural soluble fibre powerhouse.
NutraStat: The proactive and sustainable approach to gut health and weight management
The key bioactive compound found in NutraStat is barley beta-glucan soluble fibre, which works through 2 main mechanisms:
Fermentability: In the large intestine, it acts as food for beneficial gut bacteria, promoting a healthy microbiome. This breakdown produces short-chain fatty acids that fuel colon cells and trigger the production of satiety hormones like glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1).
Viscosity: This slows down digestion, prevents rapid blood sugar spikes by delaying the conversion of starchy foods into glucose by the enzymes, and it acts like a barrier in the small intestine, allowing for a gradual release of glucose into the bloodstream.
These combined mechanisms make NutraStat an excellent way to support weight management and a healthy gut.
NutraStat soluble fibre: The bridge between your gut microbiome and your brain
NutraStat barley beta-glucan soluble fibre acts as a bridge between your gut microbiome and your brain, facilitating communication and influencing various aspects of health and well-being.
A healthy gut enhances the gut-brain connection and can positively influence mental clarity and mood. Your brain and gut are more connected than just getting hungry and thinking of what’s to eat. Your brain is directly affected by your gut bacteria, so changing your gut bacteria and what you eat may improve your brain health.
Enhancing mental clarity
NutraStat barley beta-glucan travels to the large intestine where it serves as a food source for beneficial gut bacteria. This supports a balanced microbiome, which is essential for optimal gut health.
Balancing microbiome
When gut bacteria ferment NutraStat barley beta-glucan soluble fibre, they produce short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) which are energy sources for the cells in the colon, promoting a healthy gut and improving digestion. SCFAs can help regulate the absorption of nutrients from the gut. They contribute to maintaining the integrity of the gut barrier, preventing harmful substances from entering the bloodstream. SCFAs have anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce inflammation and leaky gut.
Improving digestion
NutraStat is a proactive approach that reduces the risk of constipation as a result of having a balanced microbiome and a healthy digestive system.

The natural fibre supplement that’s a natural for helping with IBS
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a gastrointestinal tract disorder with symptoms that include cramping, abdominal pain, bloating, gas, constipation and diarrhea.
NutraStat, the natural barley beta-glucan fibre supplement, is uniquely designed to be an effective mixture of soluble and insoluble fibre, which help those suffering from constipation and diarrhea. Soluble fibre acts as a bulking agent that helps promote regular bowel movements. NutraStat nourishes beneficial gut bacteria, promoting a balanced microbiome. A balanced gut microbiome can help reduce inflammation, which is often a contributing factor to IBS symptoms.

Is there research available about barley beta-glucan, and if so, where can I find it?
Yes, of course. To learn more about the technical aspects of NutraStat soluble barley beta-glucan, please visit our NutraStat research page.
What is the gut-brain axis?
The gut-brain axis is a complex communication network that connects the digestive system (gut) to the brain. This bidirectional pathway involves both physical and chemical connections that influence various aspects of our health and well-being.
Is NutraStat recommended for low FODMAP diets?
Yes, NutraStat is suitable for low FODMAP diets. Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides, and Polyols (FODMAP) are short chain carbohydrates. They can be poorly absorbed in the small intestine, leading to digestive symptoms in some individuals.
Low FODMAP diets have gained popularity over the years to provide benefits for people with digestive issues like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Low FODMAP diets work by reducing certain foods that contain specific carbohydrates that can cause irritation and problems in the gut.
Studies have shown that 76% of IBS patients that followed a low FODMAP diet have improved their symptoms.
How much fibre do Canadians need per day?
Canadian women need about 25 grams of fibre per day, and men need about 38 grams of fibre per day. Most Canadians are getting around half that much.
How much fibre does a serving of NutraStat contain?
One serving of NutraStat (3 tablespoons) contains 18% of your recommended daily intake of fibre. It is made completely from barley and is extracted without the use of any chemicals, enzymes, or solvents.
What are some of the other health benefits of using NutraStat barley beta-glucan soluble fibre?
Soluble fibre is commonly known for its ability to help with constipation and regularity, but it plays a much bigger role in a healthy diet than just digestive health. Soluble fibre is important to your diet because it can lower your risk of diabetes by moderating your blood sugar levels, decrease your risk of heart disease by lowering your cholesterol levels, and help you maintain a healthy weight by keeping you fuller for longer.
What about things like sleep, exercise and a balanced diet?
While incorporating NutraStat barley beta-glucan into your diet is a great step, it's crucial to maintain a healthy lifestyle that includes a balanced diet, regular physical activity, and adequate sleep
