What Solnul® does

Solnul® is the branded ingredient product line of MSP Starch Products Inc., a privately held Canadian starch processor headquartered in Carberry, Manitoba. The company develops and supplies an upcycled resistant potato starch (RS2) prebiotic ingredient, produced through a proprietary process that converts potato processing byproducts into high-purity, unmodified RS2 granules. Its core product contains >60% RS2 — the highest substantiated concentration on the market — and is clinically validated at a 3.5g daily dose for prebiotic effects, gut-barrier enhancement, metabolic health, and gut-skin and gut-brain axis outcomes.

Solnul operates a B2B ingredient sales model. It sells its proprietary RS2 starch directly to dietary supplement manufacturers and functional food/beverage brands in North America and Australia, and via an exclusive distribution partnership with LEHVOSS Group in Europe. More than 50 brand partners incorporate Solnul® into finished products — prebiotic powders, fiber supplements, snack bars, beverages, and performance-nutrition shakes — including Supergut, Vitamin Shoppe, Ortho Molecular Products, FODY Foods, BrainMD, Momentous, and Pendulum. The ingredient is supported by multiple certifications (Upcycled Certified, FODMAP Friendly, Non-GMO Project Verified, Gluten-Free, Glyphosate Residue Free) and BRC-audited, HACCP-compliant manufacturing infrastructure at the parent-company facility.

The company's differentiation rests on a clinical-research platform that integrates blood metabolomics, microbiome sequencing, and host-health measurements, supplemented by a portfolio of 20+ patent-pending predictive biomarkers (and one granted US patent, US11058711B2) targeting personalized microbiome nutrition. Recent milestones include Health Canada prebiotic approval (2024), NutraIngredients Awards 2026 finalist status, and the April 2026 launch of the LEHVOSS-led European distribution channel.
