Does Solnul™ Resistant Potato Starch contain glycoalkaloids like solanine?
Some people avoid potatoes (or other plants in the nightshade family) because of concerns that they may contain glycoalkaloids (e.g., ɑ-solanine, ɑ-chaconine) or lectins. Glycoalkaloids are nitrogen-containing and lectins are proteins. SolnulTM is obtained via the collection of starch slurry from cut raw potatoes, which is then filtered, washed, and dewatered into a dry powder. The result is a product that is considered to be 100% potato starch (i.e., the proteins have been removed) and has had the glycoalkaloids reduced to levels below oral bioavailability.*

Some people can experience an increase in gas or bloating when starting products containing prebiotics and/or probiotics.
