Good Health Starts In The Gut

Which Butyrate is right for me?

Calcium Magnesium

Designed to meet the needs of most people today who are deficient in Mg and Ca. This is our recommendation for most people.

Sodium Potassium

Meets the needs of athletes and those who are very active, while accommodating those with sodium sensitive hyper tension, whereby potassium antagonizes and controls sodium.

Sodium

The perfect combination for those who exercise frequently, work in hot environments, or have low blood sodium levels.

How Butyrate Promotes the Immune System Gut Connection

With all of our scientific research in the last few decades on the role of the microbiome in health and disease, plus rising cases of autoimmune digestive disorders, it’s become apparent that the digestive and immune systems are inextricably linked.

In some ways it seems like we’ve barely scratched the surface of this connection, but we do have a solid grasp of some of the mechanisms that tie these two integral systems together in the body. One component that connects the health and integrity of both systems is the short-chain fatty acid butyrate.

What Is Intestinal Permeability and Leaky Gut and How Can We Heal It?

Let’s start here: intestinal permeability is not a bad thing. In fact, it’s a normal function of your intestines to allow nutrients to pass through the lining of the gut wall and into your bloodstream. Everyone needs some degree of intestinal permeability, or we wouldn’t absorb any nutrients from our food. 

The problem with intestinal permeability occurs when the gaps between the delicate cells in the gut lining get a little too lax, and bigger openings allow bigger molecules of undigested food, toxins, even pathogens like parasites and the natural microbes in our intestines to escape into the bloodstream, forcing our detox and immune systems to work harder.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Butyrate enterically coated? How do I know it makes it to the gut?

The capsules of sodium butyrate are vegetarian, made from plant cellulose.  The butyrate powder within is enterically coated. Because butyrate has systemic benefits, some must then be absorbed in the upper GI tract. What people look for is to get butyrate to the colon. Here, an approach has been devised to tackle the challenge of butyrate delivery—coating with a vegetable fat, commonly cited as a medium-chain triglyceride.  The rationale behind this is that a significant part of the butyrate will be released only when lipase is secreted in the duodenum.

Why do you use butyric acid?

 BodyBio’s butyrates are simply butyrate, a thirteen-atom complex joined to an alkali. Butyric acid, butyrate and tributyrin are ingredients you may see in this category of supplements. Same purpose, different characteristics. We use butyric acid aka butanoic acid, a short chain fatty acid with four carbon atoms at its heart (found in butter, hence its name). As an acid, it has a low pH so we compound it with an alkali, a combination that forms a salt + water.  At this stage, we no longer have butyric acid, but butyrate, a buffered form of butyric acid.

Is it supposed to smell?

Yes, and we do not use any additives or fillers to mask the scent. Butyrate is quite infamous for its scent because it is a molecule naturally produced by the body to feed colon cells. We create butyrate exactly as it’s formed in the colon - through the bacterial fermentation of resistant starch. In its organic state, butyric acid is surrounded by the body’s unwanted debris. So, naturally, it doesn’t smell good. Substances sometimes added to butyrate in order to control its aroma interfere with butyrate’s character. 


Is it similar to a probiotic?

No, Butyrate is not bacteria but a short chain fatty acid (SCFA) made in the lower colon by bacteria and taken up by the colonocytes, the cells that line the colon. It then becomes an important food for those cells. Lacking good bacteria in our colon, such as when we take antibiotics, can lead to an insufficient supply of butyrate.

Can I get Butyrate from my food?

It is unlikely that you get enough butyrate from your food sources to be physiologically beneficial, making butyrate supplementation a prudent habit. Butyrate can be found in resistant starch, which normally comes from the skins of legumes, or under ripe bananas - not foods that are commonly consumed.
