Your multi-functional digestive health solution
Solnul™ is raising the bar for prebiotic and resistant starch categories with ground-breaking clinical and scientific research. Whether you’re reformulating or extending your product line, it’s the most essential tool to have in your digestive health product
Our Purpose
Over 10,000 years ago, ancestral diets were raw and rich in unripe fruits and vegetables, containing 30-50 g of resistant starch per day. Over time, modern food manufacturing methods like milling and cooking have stripped resistant starch from our diets.
Today, we’re in a nutrient-deficient state of crisis. The average American gets only 4 g or 20% of the Suggested Dietary Target (SDT) of resistant starch from diet alone.
Resistant starch refers to all starches that remain “resistant” to digestive enzymes when they reach the large intestine. Resistant Starch Type 2 (RS2) is a native granule from an unmodified food source found in certain fruits, vegetables, and grains.
Our purpose is to bridge the gap between ancestral and modern diets with RS2 to restore human health
Raw potato starch granules are exceptionally rich in RS2
Solnul™ has >60% RS2, the most concentrated form of RS2 with substantiation on the market
Australian researchers at CSIRO have circled low resistant starch consumption as the crucial factor contributing to many of the diseases afflicting the Western world that have typically been associated with low fiber intake. Dietary preferences and modern food processing methods have eliminated the vast majority of resistant starch from our diet. You would have to consume over 10,000 kcal/day to achieve the SDT from modern foods, making dietary supplementation and fortification of foods with resistant starch absolutely necessary.
Healthy diets meeting 100% of the Recommended Daily Intake (RDI) for dietary fiber do not provide adequate resistant starch.
Our Team
We’re a team of highly engaged individuals that are advocates, product developers, investigators, scientists, nutritionists and storytellers. Together, we’re committed to carrying out Solnul™’s purpose by educating the world on the importance of resistant starch and helping brands create meaningful, science-backed formulations. With every new product that is fueled by Solnul™, we’re one step closer to restoring the modern diet.
Jason was initially drawn to the business opportunity after meeting the founders and seeing the state-of-the-art operations they had built and the world-class research they had conducted, all in the name of resistant starch. The deficiency of RS2 in modern diets and the growing opportunity for prebiotics within the gut microbiome market was evident from day one.
Jason previously held the title of Vice President of Business and Product Development at Kane Biotech, where he propelled the business into growth through strategic partnering, licensing, marketing and seeking out new business opportunities. He’s a current board member of the Bioscience Association of Manitoba (BAM).
