SCFAs (especially butyrate and propionate) activate FFAR2/FFAR3 receptors on L-cells, stimulating GLP-1 secretion and improving appetite control
It contains glycine and aspartic acid residues, along with vulnerable peptide bonds, making it susceptible to bond cleavage and hydrolysis
Thats why medical oversight matters

Proteins Casein protein [129], whey proteins [130], peptones [131], and different amino acids such as l-glutamine [132], l-phenylalanine [133], L-tryptophan [134], and l-arginine induce GLP-1 secretion through activation of the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR), the taste receptor TAS1R1/TAS1R3, G-protein-coupled receptor 6A (GPRC6A) [135], GPR142, peptide transporter-1 (PEPT1) [136], and amino acid (AA) transporter [137] (Fig
