The Claim
Dietary supplementation with Shatianyu fruit powder in loperamide-treated mice is associated with increased abundance of butyrate-producing gut bacteria including Ruminococcus_torques_group, Ruminococcus, Dubosiella, and Parasutterella, alongside elevated fecal butyrate concentrations and enhanced expression of the butyrate receptor FFAR3 in the colon.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
In mice treated with loperamide, consuming Shatianyu fruit powder is linked to higher levels of specific gut bacteria that produce butyrate, increased butyrate in feces, and greater presence of the FFAR3 receptor in the colon.

Dietary supplementation with Shatianyu fruit powder in loperamide-treated mice is associated with increased abundance of butyrate-producing gut bacteria including Ruminococcus_torques_group, Ruminococcus, Dubosiella, and Parasutterella, alongside elevated fecal butyrate concentrations and enhanced expression of the butyrate receptor FFAR3 in the colon.
Eating Shatianyu fruit powder feeds specific gut bacteria that make butyrate, a chemical that turns on a receptor in the colon called FFAR3. This receptor tells cells to make more serotonin and repair the gut lining, while also reducing inflammation. The result is a healthier, more active colon.
What the research says
1 studyIn mice with constipation, eating Shatianyu fruit powder helped good gut bacteria grow that make butyrate, a helpful chemical, and made the colon more responsive to it — both of which help the gut work better.
