Frequently Asked Questions

How does Potato flour support gut health?
Potato flour contains 5.9g of fiber per 100g (21% DV). Fiber feeds beneficial gut bacteria, which produce short-chain fatty acids (butyrate) that reduce inflammation, strengthen the gut barrier, and improve insulin sensitivity. The high fiber content also slows glucose absorption, reducing insulin spikes.
Does Potato flour affect hormones?
Yes — Potato flour is rich in vitamin b6 (45% DV), which Cofactor for neurotransmitter synthesis (serotonin, dopamine, GABA). Supports progesterone production in luteal phase.. vitamin b6 supports Progesterone and Dopamine production. fiber supports Estrogen and Insulin production. magnesium supports Testosterone and Cortisol production.
Is Potato flour good for blood pressure?
Yes. Potato flour provides 1001mg of potassium per 100g (21% DV). Potassium helps lower blood pressure by counteracting sodium's effects and relaxing blood vessel walls. The sodium-to-potassium ratio is 18.2.
Does Potato flour contain anti-nutrients?
Phytates (especially in whole grains — bind zinc, iron, calcium). Lectins (wheat germ agglutinin — reduced by cooking). Sourdough fermentation reduces phytates 70-90%. Soaking + cooking helps. Yeast fermentation (bread) partially breaks down phytates. Whole grains have more nutrients but also more phytates — the net effect is still positive.
How filling is Potato flour?
Potato flour has a satiety score of 0.0/10. The 5.9g fiber adds bulk and slows digestion. This makes it effective for appetite control between meals.
