In summary, this study has illustrated that the SAAT substantially influenced the bacterial community structure in the gut microbiota of healthy adults, which might serve as potential therapeutic targets for related diseases, and provided a foundation for future studies aimed at elucidating the microbial mechanisms underlying SAAT for the treatment of inflammatory and metabolic disease. However, our findings should be interpreted with some caution, and the practitioner must reconsider the indications and specifications of SAAT while applying it to healthy people despite its noninvasive nature. In the long term, our findings are important for understanding the positive effect of SAAT on the host intestinal microbiota, and further research should combine microbiome and metabolome data to further assess the molecular effects of SAAT on the prevention of inflammatory and metabolic diseases.
