Functional as Prebiotics Soluble Corn Fiber

Supplementing resistant dextrin for two and three weeks has been shown to significantly reduce colonic pH in healthy adults compared to a glucose or maltodextrin placebo at dosages of 20 g and 45 g per day, respectively. 1, 2 In vitro, the equivalent of 6 grams of resistant dextrin intake has been shown to reduce pH. 9 A decrease in colonic pH can inhibit growth of potentially pathogenic bacteria. The reduction of the colonic pathogen, Clostridium perfringens, has been confirmed in adult females with moderate intestinal disorders after supplementing 8 grams of resistant dextrin for 2 weeks when compared to placebo. 2 In a pig model for colitis, resistant dextrin has proven to improve endoscopic and histological colitis scores, as well as downregulate systemic inflammation.
