Research: Resistant dextrin may assist with weight loss

Dextrin is a soluble gummy substance or prebiotic that is obtained by hydrolysis of starch, used as a thickening agent and in adhesives and dietary supplements.

Dextrins are also believed to also improve insulin resistance and assist in the management of type 2 diabetes. It is hypothesized to absorb water and should expand the gut and reduce your appetite, but there is limited evidence that prebiotics improves insulin resistance or reduce weight.
