Upside-Down Nourishment This week's microbiome definition: ACETATE Acetate is another reason why it is important to eat 30-40 grams of fiber per day! Acetate (also known as acetic acid) is the most abundant short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) produced in the human gut, typically comprising 50–70% of total SCFA production. It is generated by intestinal bacteria through the microbial fermentation of dietary fiber and resistant starches that escape digestion in the upper gastrointestinal tract. Once produced, acetate is absorbed into the systemic circulation, where it serves several critical physiological functions:
While often measured alongside propionate and butyrate, acetate’s high concentration in plasma allows it to mediate many of the broader metabolic and anti-inflammatory benefits associated with SCFAs. What does that mean for you? Acetate is produced by good bacteria when they eat fibers and polyphenols. You must eat a variety of fibers and polyphenols in order for you to be healthy! If you are interested in building a diverse and resilient microbiome to eliminate you pain and build a long and enjoyable life please consider investing in yourself and joining me for Upside-Down Nourishment or returning to Upside-Down Nourishment personalized programs, please fill out this form to see if we might be a good fit to work together.

Have a beautiful day! Lisa |
