Macromolecular excipients exert biological effects via their microbial fermentation absorbable products.
Fermentation of these macromolecular food or pharmaceutical excipient ingredients by the gut microbiota leads to the formation of short chain fatty acids (SCFA) which can be absorbed from the gut into the general circulation. Circulating SFCA activate downstream effectors responsible for energy and...
