What is Tapioca Starch?
Tapioca starch, derived from the cassava root (Manihot esculenta), is a carbohydrate-based ingredient commonly used as a bulking agent and texture enhancer in supplement formulations. It is classified as a plant-derived starch and is frequently incorporated into products marketed for energy due to its carbohydrate content. Tapioca starch is valued for its neutral taste, fine texture, and ability to improve the consistency of powders, capsules, and chewables. It is often found in energy blends, meal replacement powders, and sports nutrition supplements.
