Methods for Enhancing Production of Beneficial Short- and Medium- Chain Fatty Acids by the Gut Microbiome

Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) which include acetate (C2), propionate (C3) and butyrate (C4) are important, health-benefiting metabolites, produced when microbes in the human colon ferment polysaccharides and dietary fiber. Medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs), such as caproate (C6) and caprylate (C8), have also been shown to provide health benefits and...
