Quercetin hybrid-hydrogel microparticles modulate gut microbiota and improve memory in an antibiotic-induced dysbiosis rat model

A natural quercetin supplement formulated with fenugreek fiber was tested on rats with antibiotic-damaged gut bacteria. The supplement successfully restored healthy gut bacteria diversity, reduced gut inflammation, and improved memory performance. These benefits likely work through the gut-brain connection, where healthy bacteria produce beneficial chemicals that support brain function and reduce inflammation.

Triacetin and a Mushroom Blend Restore Butyrate Production by IBS Microbiomes Ex Vivo, Thus Promoting Barrier Integrity

Researchers tested two natural products—triacetin and a mushroom blend—to see if they could help people with IBS by improving their gut bacteria and strengthening their intestinal lining. Both products successfully increased beneficial short-chain fatty acids and improved barrier integrity, with triacetin having the added advantage of producing less uncomfortable gas. These findings suggest these products could offer a new dietary approach to managing IBS symptoms.
