By Ryan Harris, Ingredient Content Specialist, Compound Solutions Interest in acetate is rising, and for good reason. While it might sound like something from high school chemistry class, this tiny molecule plays a surprisingly big role in energy, metabolism, gut health, and even weight management. In this post, we’ll break down what acetate is, what […]

By Ryan Harris, Ingredient Content Specialist, Compound Solutions Start here: Triacetin is arguably the most under-appreciated prebiotic for the gut. While inulin, FOS or GOS get a lot of attention – even butyrate – triacetin stands alone as a ‘master prebiotic’. It delivers bioavailable acetate directly to the colon, provides prebiotic nourishment to butyrate-producing bacteria, […]

By Ryan Harris, Ingredient Content Specialist, Compound Solutions What to know: ReBiome® supports butyrate-producing bacteria by delivering bioavailable acetate directly to the colon, where those bacteria use it as a key fuel source. Butyrate-producing bacteria matter because they support gut health, strengthen the gut barrier, and help ferment and digest fiber. Many traditional prebiotics bring […]

By Ryan Harris, Ingredient Content Specialist, Compound Solutions Quick take: ReBiome® vs. Inulin. ReBiome® and inulin do not deliver the same result. Inulin is a traditional fermentable fiber that brings gas and bloating with it. ReBiome® is a patent-pending, non-fermentable, no-bloat prebiotic + postbiotic that delivers bioavailable acetate directly to the colon. ReBiome® feeds butyrate-producing […]

By Ryan Harris, Ingredient Content Specialist, Compound Solutions Quick Take: Acetate and butyrate are both short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), but they do not play the same role in the gut. Butyrate gets most of the attention because it is the fuel to build a strong gut barrier. On the other hand, acetate feeds butyrate-producing bacteria […]

By Ryan Harris, Ingredient Content Specialist, Compound Solutions TL;DR: The most well-known postbiotics are butyrate, propionate and acetate. ReBiome® is a patent-pending triacetin – a unique acetate – that works as both a prebiotic and a postbiotic. It delivers bioavailable acetate directly to the colon while also feeding butyrate-producing bacteria. Butyrate-producing bacteria help us digest […]
