Overlooked Clinical Strategies for Improved Patient Outcomes: Short-Chain Fatty Acids
The gut microbiome has been a hot topic in scientific research for a number of years, and it continues to be a focal point of natural interventions. What is the best way to modulate the microbiome? The difficulty in using probiotics alone is the sheer number of bacteria and discerning which to use and when. Moreover, different strains potentially affect individuals differently, and there isn’t one bacterial strain or combination of organisms that is a panacea. What is clear from the research is that diversity is king; and as people are getting sicker, their microbiomes are less diverse. Enter short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs)—critical tools for the modern clinician.
