ACECell is a fiber that binds acetate to cellulose to deliver it deep into the colon, where it depletes liver glycogen and partially mimics ketosis without requiring a keto diet. The acetate alters how your body absorbs nutrients and enters a fasting-like metabolic state.

New research shows that a specific fiber burns fat, partially mimics ketogenic diet, and can help with weight loss. It's called ACECell, and no, it's not granola or chia seeds, and you can forget fat-burning food lists. This is a real metabolic engineering feat. ACECell is acetate, the short-chain fatty acid, bound to cellulose, a fiber. And together, they can sneak deep into your colon. Basically, the cellulose fiber acts as an intestinal Trojan horse to get the acetate where you want in your colon, and this alters nutrient absorption, leads to liver glycogen depletion, and can thereby partially mimic fasting or keto. Isn't that interesting? Fiber? It's not just about poop anymore. And if you want to delve deep into the bowels of these data, see the full video. Oh, and we will be flushing trolls.
