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 natural 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. It is a unique type of prebiotic dietary fiber that has been well-research for its effects on healthy digestion, IBS symptoms and proper immune system function.1

Our purpose is to close the resistant starch gap to restore human health.
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, even though fiber targets are met.
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.

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).
Dr. Bush completed a Ph.D. in Medical Genetics at the University of Alberta, followed by a Post-Doctoral Fellowship at Western University, where he studied the epigenetic regulation of skeletal development. He co-chairs the Scientific Committee at the International Probiotics Association (IPA) and is an Adjunct Professor at Brandon University.
