RS2
The product used in the trial is High-Amylose Maize Starch (Hi-Maize® 260 from Ingredion), a clinical-grade Resistant Starch Type 2 (RS2). It´s usually sold in bulk (50lb bags) for industrial food processing but a convenient alternative source of RS2 is unmodified Raw Potato Starch (such as Bob's Red Mill). It is widely available in grocery stores.
https://pt.iherb.com/pr/bob-s-red-mill-potato-starch-unmodified-gluten-free-22-oz-623-g/89493
In fact, potato starch is more concentrated in RS2 than corn starch. You can get 40g of RS2 (the dose used in the trial) from ~53g of potato starch (4.5 to 5 level tablespoons or just under 1/3 cup).
Important: Keep it cold/uncooked or cook at low temp (below 140°F (60°C)). Heat destroys the RS2 structure, converting it into fast-digesting glucose. Mix it into cold water, milk, or a smoothie.
Start Slow: Begin with 1 tablespoon daily (~8g of active RS2) and gradually scale up over 3 to 4 weeks to allow your gut microbiome time to adapt without causing temporary bloating or gas.

Peak Heart Rate Info
In High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), Peak Heart Rate is the highest number of beats per minute (bpm) your heart reaches during an intense burst of exercise.
The simplest formula is:
Peak Heart Rate = 220 - Your Age
Example for a 50-year-old: 220 - 50 = 170 bpm
The trial covered in the video reports that over 90% peak HR was less effective than under 90%. For a 50 year old this would mean staying under 153bpm rather than over 153bpm.
