Resistant Starch (RS4) for Fat Loss & Exercise Performance
RS4 is still relatively difficult to come by. Options I know of are ActiStar® from Cargill and Fibersym® fom MGP . RS2 and RS3 alternatives are raw potato starch and, as previously discussed, banana starch or reheated starches. They'll have (presumably) very similar effects, but come directly from food. You will probably remember the good old " Waxy Maize Reloaded " article from 4 years ago that caused quite a stir!?
