Prebiotic fibers like beta-glucan and resistant starch (the ones you can find in Supergut!) are extremely skilled at triggering your gut to release satiety hormones like GLP-1! These fibers are unable to be digested by the body (which is a really good thing!). Instead, they travel to the gut, where they ferment and nourish the trillions of good bacteria (probiotics) in your gut.
As a byproduct, it releases short-chain fatty acids like butyrate, which is one of the body’s precursors for the GLP-1 hormone that further regulates appetite and insulin response!
