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 […]

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 […]
