FRB Effects in Tryptophan Levels, and SCFA

Since tryptophan is the main active ingredient in FRB, the research team did also find out that serum tryptophan and its metabolite tryptamine also increase, suggesting that FRB could potentially modulate AhR(Aryl hydrocarbon receptor) via an increase of tryptophan.
