Today's episode covers a ground-breaking dietary fiber star called Solnul™, a resistant starch born from Canadian potatoes and the genius of sustainable upcycling. Carl is joined by Jason Leibert of MSP Starch Products Inc., the producer of Solnul™, and together they peel back the layers to reveal how this previously wasted resource is changing the fiber game and enriching our diets.
Even if you’re getting enough fiber in your diet, you’re likely not getting an optimal amount of the powerful resistant starch fiber found in Solnul™ – and Jason reveals why. Better yet, research is finding Solnul™ offers benefits associated with both insoluble and soluble fiber.
Plus, you’ll hear how the prebiotic activity of Solnul™ goes beyond the more well known types of beneficial bacteria in the gut and may be the first fiber supplement to show an increase in beneficial Akkermansia bacteria in the intestines, which emerging research is finding can help support gut, metabolic and blood sugar health, and weight management.
Tune in to discover the growing list of ways Solnul™ can help you!
About Jason Leibert, Chief Growth Officer
Jason is a resistant starch advocate and storyteller, passionate about the gut microbiome. He has a successful track record of business development within the life sciences sector and, as the Chief Growth Officer at MSP Starch Products Inc., leads the business trajectory of Solnul™ and strategic growth for the company. Over the last several years, he’s built an internal team and an international village of believers to help bring back prebiotic resistant starch to our communities.
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 director of the Bioscience Association Manitoba (BAM) and vice-chair of Research Manitoba.
