A resistant starch that feeds the gut bacteria linked to brain signaling.
Resistant pea starch passes through the small intestine largely undigested, reaching the colon where it becomes food for beneficial gut bacteria. That's the entire reason it's in the formula.
When gut bacteria ferment fiber like this, they produce short-chain fatty acids — compounds researchers are studying for their role in gut-to-brain signaling along the vagus nerve.
BrainLive combines pea starch with Konjac Glucomannan and Baobab Fiber as part of its three-fiber prebiotic base.
