About this supplement
Resistant dextrin is a low-viscosity, water-soluble dietary fiber derived from starch through enzymatic and/or chemical processing. It consists of short-chain glucose polymers with α-(1→4) and α-(1→6) glycosidic linkages that resist digestion in the small intestine, functioning as a prebiotic fiber. It is characterized by high solubility, low viscosity, and stability under various processing conditions (heat, pH). It is often used as a functional food ingredient to increase fiber content without altering texture.
