Gluten-free oats are a nutrient-dense alternative to wheat. In addition to containing more protein than most grains, oats are a good source of fiber, which can help to regulate bowel movements and glucose in the bloodstream.

Oats are also packed with minerals including iron, magnesium, and zinc and are high in vitamin B and omega-6 fatty acids, both of which help to maintain healthy skin and coat. Among the many antioxidants found in oats are avenanthramides, gas molecules which help to improve blood flow and lower blood pressure. Beta-glucan, a soluble fiber found in oats, helps to reduce cholesterol and blood sugar, and to promote the growth of beneficial bacteria in the digestive tract and can help balance hormones.
