Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are microbial products that can be applied as potential immunonutrition therapies for inflammatory bowel diseases. SCFAs can prevent the development of excessive immune responses by modulating the recognition function of innate immunity, and SCFAs can also play a role in protecting the intestinal barrier by promoting the production of interleukin (IL)10 and inhibiting that of IL17. In addition, SCFAs have excellent anticancer effects. The Figures in this review were created with BioRender.com
