Gut microbiota-associated metabolites can be synthesized endogenously or derived from dietary nutrients and host compounds. Among them, alkaloids, terpenes, and flavones originating from edible and medicinal foods have attracted remarkable interest recently and play crucial roles in metabolic diseases. The efficacy of these metabolites is susceptible to dietary intervention, especially after food processing. Therefore, this review comprehensively summarizes the different sources of common gut microbial metabolites, including microbial self-synthesis, biodegradation of exogenous substances (mainly dietary nutrients), and participation in host metabolism. In addition, the latest studies on novel metabolites such as alkaloids, terpenoids, and flavonoids are discussed, and their action mechanisms on metabolic diseases are elaborated. How food processing impacts dietary nutrients and their metabolites is carefully examined, as well as their effects on disease modification. These insights could contribute to a deeper understanding of the mechanisms by which diet efficacy helps prevent metabolic diseases, particularly through gut microbial metabolites.
