Gutrient 4-in-1 Barley Beta-Glucan is one of the best soluble fibres for helping to lower cholesterol, improve gut health, manage weight, and control blood sugar because of how effective it is and how simple it is to introduce into your diet.

While you could try and eat whole grain barley or oats every day, an easier way to introduce beta-glucan into your diet is by taking a supplement.

Gutrient is a single-ingredient barley beta-glucan fibre supplement, that makes it easy to add 3 grams of beta-glucan into your daily diet.

Serving Guidelines

Regular Use

Mix 3 tablespoons of Gutrient per day to meet Health Canada 
FDA, and EFSA criteria for effective cholesterol-lowering. You may split the 3-tablespoon daily total into multiple servings throughout the day (e.g., 1 tablespoon at breakfast, 1 at lunch, and 1 at dinner) if that’s more convenient or comfortable for you.

Starting Slowly

If you’re new to Gutrient, begin with 1 tablespoon per day and gradually increase to 3 tablespoons over a 2-week period. This will help your digestive system adjust to the extra fibre. Always consult your physician if you have questions about adding fibre to your diet.

Serving Size by Health Goal

For Cholesterol Support

Aim for 3 tablespoons daily (once you’ve worked up from 1 tablespoon).

Take with meals or spread throughout the day.

Increase gradually to 4 tablespoons daily.

Consuming before meals can help promote a feeling of fullness.

For Healthy Glucose Metabolism

Increase gradually to 4 tablespoons daily.

Take before or with meals (divided doses are fine).

Increase to 3 tablespoons daily.

Mix into beverages or meals; spread throughout the day if preferred.

When Will You See Results?

Right Away

Many users notice improvements in digestion, a sense of “lightness,” and steadier energy levels within days.

4–12 Weeks

To see a measurable impact on LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and longer-term benefits for weight management and healthy blood sugar, consistent use of Gutrient for 4–12 weeks is recommended—alongside a balanced diet and lifestyle.

As with any natural health product, individual results may vary. Gutrient's effectiveness can be quickly offset by a high-cholesterol or high-sugar diet, so maintaining healthy eating habits is key.

How to Verify Gutrient's Impact on Your Cholesterol

Know Your Baseline

Consult your physician to get a blood test measuring LDL, HDL, and total cholesterol levels before starting Gutrient.

Use Gutrient Consistently

Take 3 tablespoons daily for at least 4 weeks while maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle. Splitting Gutrient into multiple doses (e.g., morning, noon, evening) is perfectly fine.

Retest After 4–12 Weeks

Check your cholesterol levels again. If you’ve taken Gutrient consistently (3 tablespoons/day) and maintained healthy eating habits, you can expect to see a reduction in your total and LDL cholesterol levels.

Additional Tips

Stay Hydrated

As you increase your fibre intake, be sure to drink plenty of water.

Pair with a Balanced Lifestyle

Combine Gutrient with a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins, and engage in regular exercise for enhanced benefits.

Listen to Your Body

Adjust your serving size if you experience any digestive discomfort, and consult your physician if you have concerns.
