Polydextrose and Resistant Maltodextrin as Dieting Aids W/ GLP-1 Boosting & Appetite Reducing Effects: 7% Reduced Energy Intake per 10g/day of Polydextrose in Clinical Trials
Many of them look like powder sugar, but they are much more. Novel food ingredients like polydextrose or resistant maltodextrin may help us to slow the progression of obesity, but they won't solve the global obesity problems. Whenever we are talking about resistant starches, we are not actually interested in the starches themselves, but rather in what happens after they are digested by the bacteria in our guts. The result of this process are short-chain fatty acids. These specific fatty acids interact with receptors in the digestive tract which in turn trigger the release of GLP-1, of which you as a SuppVersity reader have long known that it is of paramount importance for glucose and weight control ( learn more ). Next to naturally occuring resistant starches in foods like cooled potatoes or green bananas and relative expensive high molecular weight designer starches, polydextrose and resistant maltodextrose constitute two promising food ingredients of which researcher...
