BESTOATS 1000g

Beta-glucan is a soluble polysaccharide naturally found in oats, recognized by EFSA for two official health claims: contributing to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels (3 g/day) and reducing LDL cholesterol (3 g/day). BESTOATS 1000g by Genius Nutrition contains 20% beta-glucan per 100 g — a high content compared to standard oat flakes (around 4-5%). For athletes, this is a valuable glycemic management tool: beta-glucan slows carbohydrate absorption and smooths the blood glucose curve, avoiding insulin spikes followed by reactive hypoglycemia that can impair performance and focus during training.

BESTOATS is versatile depending on the phase. During bulking: 60-80 g mixed with an iWHEY Isolate shake + peanut butter = a complete pre-workout meal of 450-550 kcal, rich in complex carbs and protein. During cutting: 30-40 g in the morning in a porridge with cottage cheese or plant protein, for controlled carb intake and prolonged satiety thanks to soluble fiber. In sports cooking: protein pancakes (BESTOATS + whey + egg), oat cakes, thickened smoothies. Its powder form mixes more easily than flakes, particularly appreciated for pre-workout shakes.

Yes, BESTOATS 1000g carries a gluten-free certification (meaning a gluten content below 20 ppm under European regulation 828/2014) and contains no added sugar. Oats are naturally gluten-free but often contaminated by wheat, rye, or barley during harvest and transport — the certification guarantees that batches were produced under controlled conditions avoiding this cross-contamination. For people with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity, BESTOATS is therefore a safe source of complex carbohydrates, available in France via Force Addict Pro.

BESTOATS powdered oats offer several advantages over standard flakes. Solubility: the fine powder disperses instantly in a shaker or smoothie, with no grainy texture. Beta-glucan content: 20% versus 4-5% for flakes, a 4-times higher concentration. Culinary versatility: pancakes, crepes, instant porridge, thickening smoothies. The neutral taste (Natural version) is ideal for pairing with any whey or protein without clashing flavors. Finally, the 1000 g format offers excellent value for daily use.

BESTOATS and rice cream are both powdered carbohydrate alternatives, but with different profiles. BESTOATS stands out for its richness in beta-glucan (soluble fiber) and plant protein — its glycemic index is lower than rice cream's, making it more suited to daily intake outside of training. Rice cream (like First Iron Systems Rice Cream) has a higher GI and faster digestion, making it preferable immediately post-workout or as a short pre-workout. For a balanced sports diet, the two are complementary depending on the time of day.

BESTOATS powdered oats provide about 370 kcal/100 g with a balanced macronutrient profile: about 60-65 g of carbs, 14-16 g of plant protein, and 7-8 g of fat (including beneficial unsaturated fats). By comparison, maltodextrin provides ~380 kcal/100 g but 0 protein, 0 fiber, and an almost pure GI. BESTOATS is therefore much more nutritionally complete: its soluble fiber slows carb absorption, its protein contributes to satiety, and its healthy fats support hormone production. The 1000 g format is available in Natural or Chocolate flavor on Force Addict Pro.
