Carrot-Derived Rhamnogalacturonan-I Consistently Increases the Microbial Production of Health-Promoting Indole-3-Propionic Acid Ex Vivo
The results from the ex vivo SIFR<sup>®</sup> experiment mirrored clinical outcomes and provided novel insights into the impact of cRG-I on the gut microbiome function. Importantly, we demonstrated that cRG-I promotes tryptophan conversion into IPA via gut microbiome modulation, thus conferring benefits via amino acid derived metabolites extending beyond those previously reported for short chain fatty acids (SCFA) resulting from carbohydrate fermentation.
