PDI Protocol Notes
1
Lacto-fermentation degrades phytic acid by up to 62% — dramatically unlocking bioavailability of zinc, iron, and magnesium that standard bread locks away.
2
Lower glycemic index (54 vs. 71 for white bread) due to organic acids slowing starch digestion — providing sustained glucose release ideal for endurance priming.
3
Lactic and acetic acid from fermentation lower intestinal pH, selectively feeding Lactobacillus species and suppressing pathogenic gut bacteria overgrowth.
4
Partially hydrolyzed gluten proteins reduce inflammatory zonulin response — improving gut barrier integrity in athletes with subclinical gluten sensitivity.
