Product Information
Dr Mercola Organic Resistant Starch Complex Powder is a unique prebiotic fibre blend designed to nourish your gut microbiome, support digestive regularity and promote healthy metabolic and immune function. Containing 7.5 grams of resistant starch per serving from organic green banana flour, pregelatinised potato starch and tigernut flour, it acts as a slow-fermenting fuel source for beneficial bacteria in the large intestine. With the added immune-supporting power of Organic ResistAid® Arabinogalactan, this unflavoured powder blends easily into smoothies, yoghurt or water, making it a convenient way to support year-round wellness from the inside out.
What are the benefits of Dr Mercola Organic Resistant Starch Complex?
Resistant starch passes through the digestive system largely undigested, where it ferments in the large intestine to create short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). These SCFAs support gut lining integrity, immune function, cellular energy and a healthy inflammatory response. Unlike most starches, resistant starch has a low glycaemic impact, supporting metabolic health and blood sugar balance. It also promotes regular bowel movements without discomfort, making it a gut-friendly alternative to conventional fibres.

FAQs
What is resistant starch and how is it different from regular fibre?
Resistant starch resists digestion in the small intestine and acts like a prebiotic, feeding good bacteria and producing SCFAs that support immunity and gut health.
Can it help with regularity and bloating?
Yes, it adds bulk to stools and supports digestive regularity, typically without the gas or bloating caused by some high-fibre supplements.
Is it suitable for low-carb or keto diets?
Yes, because resistant starch has minimal impact on blood sugar, it may be compatible with low-carb or keto lifestyles when used appropriately.
What does it taste like?
It’s unflavoured and neutral-tasting, making it easy to mix into smoothies, water, or yoghurt without altering the flavour significantly.
How does ResistAid® support the immune system?
ResistAid® is a larch tree extract known to support immune cell function and promote respiratory health, particularly during seasonal changes.
