Examples
While the abundance of different gut bug species were “marginally significant,” the team found changes in several genes related to nicotinamide.
They screened all of the metabolites—chemicals that gut bugs pump out into the body—and honed in on nicotinamide, a form of Vitamin B that’s been a darling for combating aging in the longevity sphere.
Skipping gut bugs altogether, the team next pumped nicotinamide directly into ALS mice.
