Resistant Starch Explained

Potato resistant starch ingredient

Resistant starch is exactly what it sounds like: a starch that resists the digestive process most carbohydrates go through, reaching the large intestine largely intact rather than being broken down in the small intestine.

SodaTide and the Science Behind Resistant Starch

Once in the large intestine, resistant starch ferments in a process similar to prebiotic fiber, feeding gut bacteria and producing beneficial short-chain fatty acids. Research has specifically studied its role in supporting healthier post-meal blood sugar responses.

SodaTide and Types of Resistant Starch

There are several categories of resistant starch, found naturally in foods like green bananas, cooked-and-cooled potatoes, and legumes. SodaTide uses Potato Resistant Starch specifically, dosed at 100mg per serving.
