If you’ve been looking for a natural way to improve your gut health, manage bloating or support your microbiome, Zeally Herbs Biotic Powder, might just be the missing piece. This gut-loving superfood is jam-packed with Resistant Starch — a powerful form of prebiotic fibre known for feeding our beneficial gut bacteria and promoting healthy digestion.

Our incredible Biotic Powder contains Australian Green Banana Starch which is a game changer for our digestive health. Being a rich source of both Soluble and Insoluble fibre, its an absolute fibre packed powerhouse for good gut health.

Lets explore why you need to start incorporating this into your day!

Firstly, what Is Green Banana Starch?

Green banana Starch is made by drying and milling unripe Australian Bio-dynamically grown Bananas, which are naturally high in resistant starch. Unlike regular starches that break down into sugar, resistant starch resists digestion, making its way to the large intestine where it acts as incredible fuel for your gut microbes.

This fermentation process supports a diverse and thriving gut microbiome, essential for everything from digestion to mood and immune health!

Why Resistant Starch Is So Important

Resistant starch is a type of prebiotic, meaning it feeds the “good” bacteria in your gut. As your gut bacteria ferment it, they produce short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) like butyrate — a compound known to:

Support the health of your intestinal lining
Promote regular, comfortable bowel movements
Reduce inflammation in the gut
Improve overall digestive health

It’s one of the most effective ways to support your gut naturally — and our Biotic Powder (Green Banana Starch) is one of the richest wholefood sources of resistant starch available

Prebiotics are essential for gut health because they serve as food for beneficial bacteria in your digestive system, especially in the large intestine. Think of them as “fertiliser” for your gut microbiome—the trillions of microbes that play a major role in your digestion, immunity, metabolism, and even mood.

Lets look at the huge Gut Health Benefits we can reap by incorporating…

A Wholefood Source of Prebiotic Fibre
Green banana Starch contains high levels of prebiotic fibre that helps feed beneficial gut bacteria, contributing to a balanced and diverse microbiome.
Supports Regularity and Eases Constipation
Its natural fibre content helps keep things moving. Regular intake can assist with relieving constipation and promoting smoother digestion. Keeping things moving is important for the transit of waste through and out of the body!
Reduces Bloating and Gas Over Time
By nourishing your gut flora and improving fermentation, resistant starch may help reduce gas, bloating, and abdominal discomfort.
Strengthens Gut Lining Integrity
The SCFA butyrate supports the gut barrier and may help protect against “leaky gut” by maintaining the health of the gut lining.
Helps Stabilise Blood Sugar
Green banana flour has a low glycaemic index and may support blood sugar balance — which is closely tied to gut and metabolic health.
