The Satiety Effect (weight control/weight management)

Satiety is a complex bodily sensation that indicates when the stomach is full and it is time to stop eating. ß-glucans absorb approximately 20 times their volume in water to form a thick, viscous fluid in the stomach and small intestine. When consumed 20-30 minutes ahead of mealtime, the satiety sensation is stimulated and helps to limit appetite. Reduced desire for food intake help weight management, when combined with a healthy and balanced diet together with adequate exercise.
