🔬 Beyond SCFAs: The New Frontier of Fibre Fermentation – Celobiotics 🌱
We’ve long known that dietary fibre fuels gut health by producing short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). But new research is shifting the paradigm. The latest insights highlight celobiotics – bioactive compounds liberated through microbial fiber fermentation that directly impact host physiology.
📌 Unlike SCFAs, celobiotics include neurotransmitters, B vitamins, and aromatic amino acid derivatives, offering a broader perspective on how fibre influences immune function, metabolism, and even brain health.
💡 The takeaway? Personalized nutrition must look beyond SCFAs to a wider spectrum of microbial metabolites. Understanding celobiotics could unlock precision gut-health interventions tailored to individual microbiomes.
🔍 How can we integrate celobiotics into future health strategies? The concept originates from the human sector, will certainly also be used in animal nutrition!
