It physically destroys the bacterial membrane
Depletion of beneficial taxa such as Odoribacter (Bacteroidetes) and Lachno Clostridium (Firmicutes), along with increased abundance of pro-inflammatory taxa including Ileibacterium and Olsenella , was associated with reduced SCFA gene expression, downregulation of tight junction proteins (occludin and claudin-1), and microglial activation in the amygdala and arcuate nucleus, indicating gut barrier disruption and neuroinflammation that coincided with anxiety-like behavior
It binds copper ions, helping activate enzymes that build collagen and elastin fibers
