A new study evidences how Nutrileads’ Benicaros ingredient, a precision prebiotic upcycled from carrot pomace, can significantly increase the gut bacterial production of a health-beneficial compound in the body called indole-3-propionic acid (IPA). The findings, published in “The Roles of Diet, Gut Microbiome and Microbial Metabolome in Precision Nutrition” — a special edition of the journal Metabolites — demonstrate how this complex polysaccharide fiber can steer the metabolic output of the gut microbiota.
