The Science Behind NeutraOat
The Science Behind NeutraOat
Designed to support selective toxin removal, NeutraOat captures hydrophobic environmental contaminants in the gut while allowing normal digestion and nutrient absorption to continue unaffected.

Micro-Porous Engineering
We start with food-grade oat β-glucan, homogenize it, then flash-dry it under controlled freezing. This “ice-templating” leaves hundreds of nano-to-micron tunnels inside each particle, boosting internal surface area to roughly a tennis court per gram.

Hydrophobic Surface Tuning
Next, we brush the pore walls with a thin layer of plant oils. That coating creates an hydrophobic interior, attracting oily, ring-shaped pollutants (hydrophobic) but not water-soluble vitamins (hydrophilic). Think of it as a Velcro lining that grips fat-loving toxins but not water-soluble nutrients.

Selective Molecular Capture
Inside your gut, micro-sponges act as a size-and-affinity filter. Binding is driven by hydrophobic interactions and Van der Waals forces inside those oil-lined tunnels; larger or highly water-soluble molecules simply don’t fit or stick.

• BPA & other plasticizers
• Long-chain PFAS (“forever chemicals”)
• Certain pesticide & mycotoxin residues

Natural Transit & Elimination
Human enzymes can’t digest β-glucan’s modified backbone, so NeutraOat travels the full GI tract unchanged. Along the way it locks pollutants inside its pores and exits the body during normal elimination: no synthetic residue, no systemic exposure, just a clean exit.
