How it works
This resistant starch ferments in the large intestine, serving as a food source for beneficial gut bacteria. This fermentation process leads to the production of short-chain fatty acids, primarily butyrate, which nourishes colonocytes and modulates gut inflammation.
Who should take it
Adults looking to address bloating, indigestion, irregular bowel movements. Particularly relevant for people who prefer a targeted single ingredient and who have ruled out an underlying condition that needs medical care first.
