Non-starch polysaccharide (NSP) cannot be digested by human digestive tract enzymes. Unlike starch, the chemical bonds between sugar molecules cannot be broken down and released by human enzymes, nor absorbed by the small intestine.

It can be regarded as an excellent dietary fiber. Although it does not have any nutritional value, it can physically promote peristalsis in the intestines, better defecation, enhance satiety, avoid overeating and other functions.

The natural non-basic modified corn starch is hydrolyzed and purified by enzymes, and hydrogenated to obtain resistant starch which is a soluble dietary fiber. These are Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) by the Japanese Consumer Agency and the U.S. FDA.

Although it is not absorbed by the intestines, it can be decomposed by intestinal probiotics and is the source of nutrients for it, meaning it is a “prebiotic”. It can promote the growth of probiotics, assist in the synthesis of vitamins B2, B6, B12 and K for the human body, and regulate the gastrointestinal flora.

Important role in maintaining the physiological functions of the human body. Since the human body cannot synthesize by itself, it needs to be absorbed by natural foods or supplements. 

The American Academy of Sciences recommends a daily intake of 50-200 micrograms of chromium. According to the survey, the average person can only get 20-40 per day from the diet, which is obviously insufficient. Pregnancy, infection, injury, etc. will decrease chromium. The amount of chromium in the of the elderly and diabetic patients is lower.

The only chromium nicotinate that has passed the biological activity test has a bioavailability of more than 18 times. It mainly acts synergistically with insulin to promote the physiological activity of insulin and maintain the metabolism of carbohydrates in the body. Raw materials obtained multinational patents and U.S. FDA GRAS safety certification.

Because it contains water-soluble dietary fiber, it will swell to form a gel-like substance after water-absorbing. It has strong viscosity and can absorb substances.

Any high-fiber foods are equal. Although it helps to promote intestinal peristalsis and better defecation, it must be combined with sufficient daily water intake to get effective effect.

Bobodi is a Non-starch Polysaccharide, called dietary fiber; although it cannot be digested by the human body, it can be decomposed by bacteria, supplementing nutrients to good bacteria in the body.
