Gut Health and SCFAs: Metabolism Signals for Energy, Inflammation, Mood & More
In Part 1, we explored the fundamental role of Short-Chain Fatty Acids (SCFAs) in maintaining a
Beneath the surface of healthy aging lies a measurable system: the gut–brain axis. This bidirectional communication network links the trillions of microbes in your gut to your mood, cognition, and emotional resilience. At Vita Katalyst, we explore this axis not through vague wellness trends but through peer-reviewed biology. We study how molecular signals like short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), gut peptides, and vagal nerve activity regulate both brain function and emotional equilibrium. Understanding this dialogue helps us formulate with intention. Our goal is not just to soothe the gut or sharpen the mind in isolation, but to support the full conversation between them. That’s why every ingredient we use is selected to nurture the microbiome-brain interface, with transparency, data, and biological nuance.
