In June 2019, Essential Formulas’ Director of Science Ross Pelton wrote a paper titled Postbiotic Metabolites: The New Frontier in Microbiome Science that was published in the Townsend Letter. This is the first time a paper ever appeared in the scientific literature with the term postbiotic metabolites in the title.
In January 2023, Pelton’ wrote a follow-up paper titled The Microbiome Theory of Aging (MTA), that was published in the peer-reviewed scientific journal Integrative Medicine: A Clinician’s Journal (IMJC).
The publication of these two landmark papers has resulted in Dr. Ross Pelton and Essential Formulas, Inc. becoming leaders in the effort to educate the world about the importance of postbiotic metabolites and the human gut microbiome.
Scientific Paradigm Shift
A huge paradigm shift is taking place in microbiome science. Until recently, a large portion of scientific research was devoted to isolating, identifying, and naming different species of bacteria. In the new frontier of microbiome science, much more emphasis is being focused on identifying the compounds that various strains of bacteria produce, learning to understand the health-regulating effects of these compounds, and discovering which strains of bacteria are more efficient at producing these health-regulating compounds and how these postbiotic metabolites regulate many aspects of health and aging.
“These groundbreaking articles integrate diet, dysbiosis, and corresponding gut problems, into a comprehensible theory of aging,” said Pelton.
