Resistant Starch – A Boost to Gut Health and Metabolism

Kauvery Hospital09 Jun, 2025Health

A form of carbohydrate, resistant starch doesn’t get broken down and digested in the small intestine. This allows it to act as fermentable fiber in the colon. The fermentation process feeds the gut microbiome and keeps it healthy. This is crucial for overall well-being. The fermentation process produces short-chain fatty acids which improve gut health, reduce inflammation and lower the risk of colon cancer.
