Discover how short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) support gut health, reduce inflammation, regulate immune function, and influence appetite. Learn why SCFAs are vital for a healthy microbiome.
Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are produced in the colon by gut bacteria such as Bacteroides and Firmicutes through the fermentation of dietary fibers. These SCFAs, including acetate, propionate, and butyrate, are essential for gut health, providing energy to colon cells and maintaining the gut barrier
The gut-liver axis, a key communication network between the gastrointestinal tract and the liver, influences nutrient metabolism, immune regulation, and detoxification. Dysbiosis can lead to liver diseases like NAFLD and ALD. This blog explores its functions, health impacts, and potential therapies like probiotics and FMT.
Understanding the role of the microbiome in disease prevention can provide valuable insights into maintaining optimal health and developing new treatment strategies.
Polysaccharides in medicinal mushrooms like Agaricus blazei Murill and Chaga are complex carbohydrates that play a crucial role in their health-promoting properties.
More recently, scientists have discovered that the gut microbiome can also affect how patients respond to medications, leading to significant implications for personalized medicine and treatment effectiveness.
