Butyrate is an important short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) that is naturally
produced within the large intestine and considered an important source
of energy for the epithelial cells that line it. One of the key
functions of the large intestine is the absorption of water and
nutrients that were unable to be absorbed during earlier digestion. The
bacteria present within the large intestine also help to break down
undigested food matter, such as dietary fibre. Most butyrate in the
large intestine is formed when bacteria ferments or breaks down dietary
fibre into butyrate and other SCFAs. Butyrate is also a source of energy
for the rest of the body: it's estimated that SCFAs can contribute as
much as 5-15% of the total daily caloric requirements of humans.1 Butyrate Complex provides SCFA in the form of calcium/magnesium butyrate and is suitable for vegans.
Recommended Dosage: Take 1 capsule 3 times daily with meals, a few hours before or after
taking other medications or natural health products, or as recommended
by your healthcare practitioner.
Caution: Consult your healthcare practitioner prior to use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
