How to Use NutraStat
NutraStat 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.
NutraStat 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 NutraStat 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 NutraStat, 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.
For Weight Management
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).
For Digestive Health
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 NutraStat for 4–12 weeks is recommended—alongside a balanced diet and lifestyle.
As with any natural health product, individual results may vary. NutraStat’s effectiveness can be quickly offset by a high-cholesterol or high-sugar diet, so maintaining healthy eating habits is key.
How to Verify NutraStat’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 NutraStat.
Use NutraStat Consistently
Take 3 tablespoons daily for at least 4 weeks while maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle. Splitting NutraStat 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 NutraStat consistently (3 tablespoons/day) and maintained healthy eating habits, you can expect to see a reduction in your total and LDL cholesterol levels.

Pair with a Balanced Lifestyle

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