Role of Dietary Nutrients in the Modulation of Gut Microbiota: A Narrative Review
Nutrients 2020, 12(2), 381; https://doi.org/10.3390/nu12020381
- Poor absorption of Vitamin D is strongly related to type of gut bacteria – Dec 2020
- Vitamin D (10,000 IU) changes bacteria in the gut – RCT Jan 2020
- Strong interactions between Vitamin D and the gut microbiota via Butyrate and VDR – Dec 2019
- Vitamin D, Gut Microbiota, and Chemo-radiation interactions – Dec 2019
- Gut microbiome massively changed by weekly vitamin D – July 2015
- Resveratrol, Metabolic Syndrome, and Gut Microbiota – Nov 2018
- Gut and airway bionome are affected by Vitamin D and Vitamin D Receptor – Nov 2018
- Vitamin D Receptor in gut can be activated by lithocholic acid produced by gut bacteria
- Prediabetic have very different gut bacteria – March 2015
- Exploring gut microbes in Human health and disease: pushing the envelope - Aug 2014
- Vitamin D, immunity and microbiome – Dec 2014
- Gut microbiome massively changed by weekly vitamin D – July 2015
Probiotics help
- Probiotics, prebiotics, and the host microbiome - the science of translation – June 2013
- Probiotic and vitamin D synergy - July 2015
- Schizophrenia reduced by biweekly 50,000 IU Vitamin D and probiotics – RCT Feb 2019
- Probiotics increased Vitamin D etc in healthy children – RCT Oct 2019
- in this case Microbiota INCREASED Vitamin D - perhaps due to less inflammation

Understanding how dietary nutrients modulate the gut microbiome is of great interest for the development of food products and eating patterns for combatting the global burden of non-communicable diseases. In this narrative review we assess scientific studies published from 2005 to 2019 that evaluated the effect of micro- and macro-nutrients on the composition of the gut microbiome using in vitro and in vivo models, and human clinical trials. The clinical evidence for micronutrients is less clear and generally lacking. However, preclinical evidence suggests that red wine- and tea-derived polyphenols and vitamin D can modulate potentially beneficial bacteria. Current research shows consistent clinical evidence that dietary fibers, including arabinoxylans, galacto-oligosaccharides, inulin, and oligofructose, promote a range of beneficial bacteria and suppress potentially detrimental species. The preclinical evidence suggests that both the quantity and type of fat modulate both beneficial and potentially detrimental microbes, as well as the Firmicutes/Bacteroides ratio in the gut. Clinical and preclinical studies suggest that the type and amount of proteins in the diet has substantial and differential effects on the gut microbiota. Further clinical investigation of the effect of micronutrients and macronutrients on the microbiome and metabolome is warranted, along with understanding how this influences host health.
