Beta-glucans are soluble fibers that come from the cell walls of bacteria, fungi, yeasts, and some plants. They might lower the risk for heart disease. Eating at least 3.6 grams of beta-glucans or other soluble fibers daily as part of a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet might help prevent heart disease. Taking beta-glucans made from oats or barley by mouth for several weeks seems to reduce total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL or "bad") cholesterol in people with high cholesterol.
