2. Benefits of Oat Extract
2.1 Enhance blood circulation
Research shows that impaired blood flow is a leading factor in heart disease and stroke. Oat extract contains a unique group of antioxidants called avenanthramides, which have been shown to improve heart health. In particular, this extract can improve blood flow by increasing the production of nitric oxide, a molecule that helps dilate blood vessels.
A 24-week study in 37 healthy overweight adults found that supplementing with 1,500 mg of oat extract daily significantly improved blood flow in the heart and brain.

Chronic inflammatory disease is thought to increase the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes and some cancers. Oat extract is rich in antioxidants, including avenanthramides, which have been shown to reduce inflammation, thereby reducing the risk of these diseases.

2.3 Enhance brain activity
Oat extract may help boost brain function in older adults.
Two studies in older adults with impaired brain function found that supplementing with 800 to 1600 mg of oat extract significantly improved memory, attention, and concentration.
However, these studies were funded by the company that made the product, and bias may have influenced these findings.
Another 12-week study in 36 healthy adults with normal brain function observed that a daily supplement of 1,500 mg of oat extract did not alter attention, memory, or concentration.
Therefore, current research on oat extract and brain function is limited, and it has not been shown to benefit adults with normal brain function.

As far as the origin goes, oat extract has been used to relieve stress, anxiety, and depression.

It has been shown that inhibiting PDE4 can reduce stress, anxiety and depression. In addition, oat extract may reduce levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which may be implicated in the development of depression and other psychiatric disorders.

Oat straw extract has not been shown to have any notable side effects or drug interactions, but research on its safety is limited.

Like any supplement, it is essential to consult a health professional before taking oat extract to ensure safety.
Furthermore, while oats are naturally gluten-free, there can be a risk of cross-contamination during processing. Those who need to avoid gluten should therefore use certified gluten-free oat extracts.
