Description
Butyric acid is a short-chain fatty acid produced naturally in the colon by the bacterial fermentation of dietary fibres and is known as a postbiotic. Supplementation is commonly used to aid healing in the digestive tract.
Butyric acid is a short-chain fatty acid which acts as an energy source for the cells in the colon. It encourages the colonisation of friendly bacteria and increases glutathione levels, which neutralise free radicals in the gut. It enhances intestinal barrier function and is critical in repairing the gut lining, supporting intestinal cells and improving immune function. It is also associated with benefits such as neuroprotective effects, cardiovascular health, improving insulin resistance and obesity. Sodium Butyrate has a distinctive, fermented scent which is entirely normal and means it is ready to work well in the body.
