3/5 Evidence Score

Fibersol® is a digestion-resistant maltodextrin, a soluble prebiotic fiber made from cornstarch, co-developed by ADM and Matsutani. It dissolves clear and tasteless, making it easy to add to foods and drinks, and is studied for supporting satiety, healthy blood sugar, and regularity.

Studied Dose Commonly 5 to 10 grams per day.
Active Compound Digestion-resistant maltodextrin, a soluble dietary fiber that resists digestion and is partly fermented in the colon.

Mechanism of action

1

Soluble fiber bulking

The resistant maltodextrin adds soluble bulk that slows gastric emptying and nutrient absorption, supporting fullness and steadier glucose.

2

Colonic fermentation

Part of the fiber is fermented into short-chain fatty acids that nourish the colon and support a healthy microbiome.
