What Are Short-Chain Fatty Acids (SCFAs)?

SCFAs are produced by gut bacteria from undigested fiber and play a crucial role in digestion, immune function, and overall gut health. The primary SCFAs include acetic, propionic, and butyric acids. Imbalances in SCFA levels can be associated with several health issues:

  • Digestive disorders: IBD, Crohn’s, IBS
  • Metabolic issues: obesity, type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance
  • Inflammatory diseases: risk of chronic inflammation
  • Neurological conditions: depression, Alzheimer’s, autism

Tracking SCFA levels in your stool can provide valuable insights into your gut health and improving your well-being.

Understanding Your Results

Your S’Wipe report includes a detailed analysis of your SCFA* levels, comparing them to typical levels found in other people. Here’s a breakdown of what each SCFA indicates:

Acetic Acid

~60% of SCFAs. Acetic Acid, making up about 60% of your SCFAs, is crucial for nutrient absorption, pH regulation, metabolism and immune function. Low levels of acetic acid (<40%) lead to poor nutrient absorption, increased harmful bacteria, and impaired metabolism. High levels (>80%) lead to inflammation, bloating and diarrhea.

Propionic Acid

~20%. Propionic Acid is a major microbial fermentation metabolite in the gut. It should make up about 20% of your SCFA levels. It is linked to reduced lipogenesis, which is the process of fat production in the body. High levels of propionic acid may also help reduce cholesterol levels, and play a role in preventing cancer development in various tissues.

Butyric Acid

~20%. Butyric Acid should be about 20% of your SCFAs. Butyric acid is one of the most important molecules in biology. It serves as the primary energy source for colon cells, strengthening the intestinal barrier while reducing inflammation throughout the body. Potential benefits include improved symptoms of IBS, IBD (Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis), reduced colon cancer risk, and support for brain health and metabolic function.

*MCFAs (Medium-Chain Fatty Acids) are special fats that are quickly digested and used by the body for energy, supporting digestion and gut health.

Personalized Fiber Intake Suggestions

Your report provides personalized fiber intake suggestions to help balance your SCFA levels. Each fiber suggestion includes:

  • Food sources of the suggested fiber
  • Its effects on SCFA levels
  • Benefits of regularly adding that fiber to your diet
  • Supplement pills/powders with that fiber
  • Related studies

The overall Stool Smell Score

Measures p-cresol, indole, skatole, and phenol. These compounds contribute to the characteristic smell of stool and their levels can indicate the state of your gut health.

Fresh (0-3)

Low odor

Normal (4-6)

Typical smell

Foul (7-10)

Strong odor

Other Gut Metabolites

Report also provides levels of other metabolites important for your gut health:

p-Cresol

High levels linked to chronic kidney and cardiovascular diseases.

Indole

Helps eliminate toxins, promotes balanced inflammation and reproductive health.

Skatole

High levels associated with body odors.

Phenol

Reduces inflammation, supports a healthy gut microbiome.

Isobutyric acid

Reduces inflammation in the gut and body.

Valeric acid

Promotes relaxation, may help reduce stress and pain.
