According to nutritional studies, most people consume far less resistant starch than is recommended for optimal gut health. A key distinction lies between RS1 and RS2 resistant starch, which behave differently in the body due to their unique structures and origins.

While most starches are quickly digested and absorbed as glucose, a significant fraction resists digestion in the small intestine and reaches the large intestine intact. This carbohydrate, known as resistant starch, acts more like a dietary fiber, fueling beneficial gut bacteria and offering numerous health benefits.
