You can easily increase the number of butyrate-producing bacteria by eat more soluble fiber, and, strangely, by eating more antioxidants. It’s not easy to supplement many of the varieties of bacteria, because they aren’t in probiotic formulas, though.

I’ll post some examples of antioxidants that help specific bacteria to multiple, in a subsequent post.

From “ Butyrate producers, “The Sentinel of Gut”: Their intestinal significance with and beyond butyrate, and prospective use as microbial therapeutics”

Polyphenol intervention significantly increases the abundance of butyrate producers such as Faecalibacterium and members of the Ruminococcaceae family (Del Bo et al., 2021). Among other polyphenols, the impact of catechins, anthocyanins, and proanthocyanidins as prebiotics is more evident because they increase the abundance of Roseburia and Faecalibacterium spp. (Alves-Santos et al., 2020). Other phenolic compounds such as caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid, and rutin are also reported to increase microbial butyrate (Catalkaya et al., 2020). Additionally, the microbial accessibility of different prebiotics also varies among butyrate producers; therefore, the administration of different prebiotics can selectively enrich specific butyrate producers (Table 2). Other than prebiotics, synbiotic treatments can also be administered to promote butyrate production in the gut (Gurry, 2017). Synbiotics contain a combination of prebiotics and probiotics, and their synergistic effects are more prominent than those of prebiotics and probiotics used individually (Singh et al., 2021). Synbiotic treatment with Bacillus subtilis DSM 32315 and L-Alanyl-L-glutamine improved butyrate levels and enhanced the major butyrate producers such as Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, both in vitro and in humans (tom Dieck et al., 2022). Similarly, another study reported the prevalence of butyrate-producing Eubacterium and Pseudobutyrivibrio upon synbiotic administration of fiber-enriched yogurt (Jaagura et al., 2022).

Eat yogurt, sauerkraut and kimchee!!! But be careful with kimchee. Was hungry one day, bought a small bottle and ate nearlly all of it. Bad decision, thirty minutes later that went through me like a freight train and could not find a rest room fast enough.

What few people understand is that research on the gut is so slow and underfunded that it will be 5 decades minimum before they’re able to so-called ‘map’ the microbiome and fully understand the biochemical relationships to a healthy endocrine system.

Though I welcome good science, it’s a tragedy that they’ve failed to link dysbiosis of the gut to the persistent - and in some cases - rising incidence of ‘disease’, let alone how to correct dysbiosis for those unknowingly suffering its effects.
