Resistant Dextrin supplementation for targeted health support.
It's processed to resist digestion more completely than natural fiber. Dissolves clear in water, no gritty texture, and often causes less gas than other fibers.
Derived from corn starch through enzymatic treatment. Not found in nature in this form, but the end result is similar to resistant starch in foods.
Yes. FDA recognizes it as dietary fiber. It provides prebiotic and physiological benefits of fiber even though it's manufactured.

Some ingredients build up over weeks. Others act fast.
The compound effect of consistent dosing.
Check the cautions section if you have a pre-existing condition.
Some ingredients you feel. Others just work in the background.
Less than many fibers. The fermentation is slower and more complete, producing less gas than rapidly fermenting fibers. Still possible, especially at first.
No. Regular maltodextrin is rapidly digested and spikes blood sugar. Resistant dextrin is specifically modified to resist digestion. Very different effects.
Slows gastric emptying and carbohydrate absorption. The effect is modest but documented. Most helpful when consumed with carb-containing meals.
Most research uses 15.0g daily. Below 5.0g, you're probably wasting money. Above 25.0g, no extra benefit. The curve plateaus. Safe upper limit ~ 30.0g.
Resistant Dextrin has emerging evidence.
Manufactured from corn starch through enzymatic processing. The process creates bonds that human digestive enzymes can't break, making it 'resistant'.
