Sodium Butyrate

Made for your daily routine.

We chose sodium butyrate in a microencapsulated form to limit direct exposure to butyric acid’s strong odor. The daily serving provides 1,000 mg of sodium butyrate, standardized to 71% butyric acid—710 mg. A clearly specified ingredient in a focused formula.

Take 1 capsule in the morning and 1 in the evening. Each bottle provides 50 days of use; two bottles cover the recommended minimum three-month period. The plant-based pullulan capsule is suitable for vegans.

Sodium Butyrate

Why does butyric acid matter?

Butyric acid is a short-chain fatty acid produced in the colon when gut bacteria ferment dietary components, particularly fiber. Cells lining the colon use it as an energy source. Production depends partly on diet and the gut microbiota. This formula provides a stated amount of butyric acid as microencapsulated sodium butyrate.

What does research say about Sodium Butyrate?

Human research on microencapsulated sodium butyrate has examined abdominal comfort, bowel habits, quality of life, and the gut microbiota. Some studies reported improvements in bloating, abdominal pain, and other symptoms, while microbiota analyses found changes in selected bacteria capable of producing short-chain fatty acids. Findings depend on the population and preparation studied and do not establish the effects of this finished product.

FAQ / Sodium Butyrate

Good questions. Clear answers.

Talk to us ↗

How is sodium butyrate different from butyric acid?

Sodium butyrate is the sodium salt of butyric acid. The daily serving provides 1,000 mg of sodium butyrate standardized to 71% butyric acid, equivalent to 710 mg of butyric acid.

Why use microencapsulation?

Butyric acid has a distinctive, strong odor. Microencapsulation limits its direct contact with the surroundings and makes the capsule form more convenient to use.

Is Sodium Butyrate a probiotic?

No. It contains no live bacteria. It provides sodium butyrate, a source of the butyric acid that gut microbes also produce naturally in the colon.

Why do the directions recommend at least three months?

The product directions recommend regular use: 1 capsule in the morning and 1 in the evening for at least three months. Do not increase the daily serving yourself or use the supplement as a replacement for a varied diet.

How long does one bottle last?

Each bottle contains 100 capsules. At 2 capsules daily, it provides 50 days of use. Two bottles provide 100 days, covering the recommended minimum three-month period.

Are the capsules suitable for vegans?

Yes. The product uses a pullulan capsule shell and is suitable for vegans. Its active ingredient is sodium butyrate standardized to a stated butyric acid content.

Can I take it with medication or a gastrointestinal condition?

If you take medication, receive gastroenterology care, or have persistent digestive symptoms, consult your doctor or pharmacist before use. The product is not intended to diagnose or treat disease and does not replace medical care.
