* essential amino acids
The above table shows the superiority of oat in its amino acid content as well as in its selection of
essential amino acids.
Comparison of several cereals based on the content of zinc and manganese in mg/100g in the
whole grain:
Cereals Zinc Manganese
Oat 3.7 4.6
Corn 2.5 0.5
Wheat 3.0 2.4
Rye 1.3 2.2
The very high natural content of the two trace elements zinc and manganese substantiates the
assumption that oat also has anti-oxidative properties. As is known from literature, zinc and
manganese play an important role as catalysts in the prevention of the development of free
radicals.
The original oat dry extract is produced in a specially controlled process, developed especially for
AQUARICH ® is particularly rich in the trace elements manganese and zinc and the B group
vitamins.
In cosmetics, oat will surely be applied due to its moisturizing and softening properties.
