Product description

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.

Is Butyrate similar to a probiotic?

No, butyrate is NOT bacteria but a short-chain fatty acid (SCFA). It’s made in the lower colon by probiotic bacteria and taken up by the colonocytes, the cells that line the colon. It then becomes an important food for those cells.

What’s the difference between Sodium Butyrate and Calcium/Magnesium Butyrate?

The only difference between the two forms of BodyBio Butyrate is the minerals used to create the butyrate salt: either sodium + butyric acid, or calcium + magnesium + butyric acid. Other than that there is no difference between the two.

What is the MCT oil in Butyrate?

MCT oil in Butyrate is derived from palm, palm kernel and/or coconut oil.
