WHAT ARE POSTBIOTICS? 5 HEALTH BENEFITS - Meridian
Chiropractics - "Postbiotics are
byproducts of the fermentation process carried out by
probiotics in the intestine. In other words, as probiotics
feed on prebiotics, postbiotics are produced. They are
basically the “waste” of probiotics."

Short-chain
fatty acid - Wiki - "Acetate, propionate, and
butyrate are the three most common SCFAs"

Role of the microbiota in
hypertension and antihypertensive drug metabolism - Hypertens Res 2021 Dec 9
- "In this review, we provide insights into
host-microbiota interactions and summarize the evidence supporting the
importance of the microbiota in blood pressure (BP) regulation. Metabolites
produced by the gut microbiota, especially short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs),
modulate BP and vascular responses. Harmful gut-derived metabolites, such as
trimethylamine N-oxide and several uremic toxins, exert proatherosclerotic,
prothrombotic, and proinflammatory effects. High-salt intake alters the
composition of the microbiota, and this microbial alteration contributes to the
pathogenesis of salt-sensitive hypertension. In addition, the microbiota may
impact the metabolism of drugs and steroid hormones in the host. The
drug-metabolizing activities of the microbiota affect the pharmacokinetic
parameters of antihypertensive drugs and contribute to the pathogenesis of
licorice-induced pseudohyperaldosteronism. Furthermore, the oral microbiota
plays a role in BP regulation by producing nitric oxide, which lowers BP via its
vasodilatory effects. Thus, antihypertensive intervention strategies targeting
the microbiota, such as the use of prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics
(e.g., SCFAs), are considered new therapeutic options for the treatment of
hypertension" - See
