Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of metabolic abnormalities that increases the risk of developing chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease and stroke. According to the NCEP ATP III definition, MetS is present if three or more of the following diagnostic criteria are met:-
MetS is becoming increasingly common. General lifestyle modification includes healthy dietary intake can help to mitigate the risks. Bioley Toco Oats is one of your healthy dietary choices.
MetS affects approximately 25% to 40% of Malaysian adults. [2]
Bioley Toco Oats contains plant-based nutrients such as Tocotrienols (Palm-based Vitamin E), Lecithin (Soy), Calcium (Seaweed) and Soluble Dietary Fibers (Oligofructose, Oats and Oat Bran). It is suitable for daily consumption to confer general wellness.
Two sachets (30g x 2 servings) daily of Tocotrienols-incorporated oats supplementation (Bioley Toco Oats) consumed up to 12 weeks significantly improved the fasting blood sugar (FBS), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) and triglyceride (Tg) levels in MetS individuals.
The beneficial TAC and SOD levels were significantly elevated, while the protein carbonyl (PC) concentration was reduced in the Bioley Toco Oats group.
Tocotrienols incorporated oats supplementation lowered the concentrations of multiple inflammatory biomarkers in MetS patients, as indicated by reduced tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF- α), histidine sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3).
Supplement groups showed tolerable gastrointestinal side effects, and these effects were well tolerated following prolonged consumption.
