Good Health Naturally’s Sodium Butyrate is specially formulated to support gut and whole-body health. 

Butyric acid is a short-chain fatty acid produced naturally in the colon by the bacterial fermentation of dietary fibres and is also known as a postbiotic. It acts as an energy source for the cells in the colon, encourages the colonisation of friendly bacteria and increases glutathione levels, which neutralise free radicals in the gut.

Its anti-inflammatory properties enhance intestinal barrier function and mucosal immunity. It plays a critical role in repairing the lining of the gut and supports the health of the intestinal cells, improving immune function and protecting the body from disease.

Butyrate may have notable benefits for inflammatory bowel disorders or those with multiple food sensitivities. It is associated with benefits such as neuroprotective effects, cardiovascular health, improving insulin resistance and obesity. It has also been studied for its potential anticarcinogenic and chemoprotective properties. Butyrate exerts multiple beneficial effects inside and outside the intestinal barrier by promoting healthy DNA. 

Low butyrate levels can also happen when there is a decrease in the number of butyrate-producing bacteria in your gut, a drop in the amount of butyrate-containing foods in your diet, or your body is less able to absorb butyrate. Keto or Paleo diets, for example, may be low in fibre and resistant starch and, therefore, low in butyrate.

A Sodium Butyrate supplement is a good option for gut and total body wellness, whether you make enough butyrate in the gut or not. 

There is no way to achieve the powerful benefits of Butyrate without its distinctive, fermented scent. This is entirely normal and means it is ready to work well in the body.
