I have just started taking BG22. Hope it lowers my total
cholesterol which has been reading 220-250 for the past 7 years.

exercise will help bro. mum takes bg22. its good.

It's overpriced. The best is still to consume proper raw oats along with other plant based diet. It's not a miracle food. One cannot expect to just take this and expect to be healthy without changing our daily bad diet habit. But if one can change their diet habit, then this becomes a redundant.

I am taking BG22 too. How do you guys make the drink? Most of the time sure got some of it can't dilute in hot water and "stuck/stick" on my spoon or bottom of mug....

i just mix with room temp water and drink.. use to the taste liao.

mix with hot water + milo/coffee etc I find it's harder to drink coz the bg22 will become this thick yucky substance. On FB page they got explain that it's suppose to bcome like this in your stomach/intestine and not at your mouth as it's hard to consume, thus they recommend mix with normal water and drink.

anyone got improve cholesterol levels after taking BG22 do post here... encourage one another

Problem wth the raw oats available in M'sia (Rolled oats that needs to be cooked) is the medium carbo conten of >57mg/100,g.. Anything above 55mg/100mg is actually no good for diabetic. BG22 & few more new products having lower than 50. i.e good for diabetics



BTW, instant oats having high carbo of >75.. Bad for diabetics

I take rolled oats in the form of granola bars; they are yummy

Homemade Granola Bars

got another one Kordel Active Oat 35.Easy juz drink.price around rm60

Are these in fine powder form that is easily soluble in water??
Or like normal oats?

Your cholesterol is totally normal. Levels up to 250 mg/dl are normal.

In 1977, Richard Passwater challenged at the back cover of his book, ''Supernutrition
for Healthy Hearts'' :

'' If anyone can step forward and prove that cholesterol causes heart disease, I will
donate the proceeds from this book to the American Heart Association. ''


Look at your triglycerides and HDL readings, in mg/dl, that is, not SI units.

If your TG/HDL ratio is less than two, you have nothing to worry about.


There are more specific tests like Lp(a) and Lp-LPA2, but the labs here are not
equipped to test them.

They will have to send your blood down to Singapore if you wish to check your Lp(a).


If you wish to improve your cholesterol profile, try Hijuven softgels (tocopherol nicotinate).
Not many pharmacies here carry them. You can get them from Diethelm, now DKSH,
which distributes Eisai, the manufacturer. Marketed as Juvela-N in Taiwan and Singapore.

anyone tried this? Barley BG http://www.cosway.com.my/product/health/nn_barleyBGplus.htm


Award wining product.

nope they are very fine powder.. for BG22. The rest not sure haven't tried.

Check via the nutritional labelling for Beta Glucan or soluble fibre per serving, then per can.
The name may be misleading as Active Oat 35 may indicate 35% Promoat rather than the percentage of Beta Glucan.

In powder form?

That's processed food. Eat oats as it is in its natural form.

Not all "processing" is bad.
Your rolled oats from store is also "processed" in a way that most products are mechanically assessed and filtered from physical contaminant.

Powder form is the oats blended into tiny, more soluble form.
Those products are just the bran from the oats, blended into powder form for easier absorption.
In effect, you consume less for more of the active nutrient that contributes to the oat being healthy the first place.

The above is provided that there are no fillers or additives.

I believe so.

I have started taking bio grow BG22 for about 2 weeks now. Main purpose is to hope to lower my cholesterol. It's too soon to say whether it works but one thing is for sure, it's certainly making me eat more healthily because of it.

The oats are easily soluble, even when mix with cold drinks like milk, and it tastes just fine. After some time, i realize that the oats drink will turn into a thicker layer of mould and i guess it'll stay that way in our stomach. As a result, i tend to eat less thereafter. Like some consumers have mentioned earlier, i do experience more frequent toilet passing motion after taking Bio Grow, about 2-3 times a day. Initially it was more like a semi-diarrhea but after few days is back to normal. I believe it has a detox element, which is excellent.

Amazingly i realize I felt leaner and have trimmed bits of my stubborn belly fat, which is an unexpected bonus! I think both the detox and eating healthy contribute to this unexpected result, which is great.

Bottom line, i will measure my cholesterol again after 2-3 months and hopefully has a positive outcome.

By the way, i bought it at a Pharmacy at Taman Megah, PJ (near Fatty Crab) and costs only RM55. I believe you can get this discounted price at many pharmacies now.

Compare the contents as well.
The lesser the ingredients, and the greater the soluble fibre or beta-glucan the better.
