Unlocking the Secrets of Super Starch and Its Impact on Longevity

SuperStarch® is UCAN's proprietary low-glycemic, complex carbohydrate that is changing the way athletes train. Made by applying UCAN's patented cooking method to a specific strain of non-GMO corn, SuperStarch is real food that is unlike any other. Did you know that refined carbohydrates change the balance of bacteria that are inside our gastrointestinal tract, leading to inflammation or decreased recovery time including weight gain. Toxins in carbohydrate foods compared to a healthy super starch is that the toxins are things you may have heard of called “lectins” gluten and phytic acid that are now found regular in common diets and carbohydrate foods that are easily accessible on the grocery store shelves. These anti-nutritional compounds have not given our bodies time to process and develop a resistance to them. This then leads to an interference of the absorption of nutrients due to the presence of secondary metabolites.

Many people experience better growth, digestion, and metabolism when they can identify their own sensitivity to proteins and secondary metabolites. New food processing techniques provide easily digestible ways to ingest a carbohydrate rich snack that is for example a super starch like Ucan. More studies need to be done to identify the connection between antinutrients, human health, and recovery after bouts of exercise.

No time or money to make a supplemental change to your routine? No worries, you can refine the source of a natural carbohydrate to keep the balance of bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract normal and avoid inflammation of the abdomen. For example, cost efficient techniques include using traditional food processing techniques to make your own grains and trying things like legumes.
