Origin of Ingredient

Food-derived, fermentation-derived or manufactured nutraceutical material depending on supplier specification.

History of Ingredient

Resistant Starch moved from food, biochemical or specialist use into modern nutraceuticals as purification, fermentation, encapsulation and standardisation technologies developed.

Scientific Makeup of Ingredient

Defined nutraceutical compound or ingredient mixture; identity, assay, purity and marker constituents depend on the commercial specification.

UK Legal Claim

• Replacing digestible starches with resistant starch in a meal contributes to a reduction in the blood glucose rise after that meal. Conditions: Digestible starch must be replaced so resistant starch is at least 14% of total starch.

EU Legal Claim

US Legal Claim

FDA does not pre-approve ordinary dietary-supplement structure/function claims. Example for regulatory review only (NOT FDA-approved wording): “Supports digestive and gut health.” The marketer must hold substantiation, avoid disease claims, use the DSHEA disclaimer and notify FDA within 30 days after first marketing.
