- Sodium butyrate in capsules
- 400 mg of butyric acid in 1 serving
- Designed for release in the intestines
SUPPLIFE Sodium Butyrate Forte is a product based on microgranulated sodium butyrate, standardized for its high butyric acid content. Each capsule provides 510 mg of sodium butyrate, including 400 mg of butyric acid.
Sodium butyrate is the salt of butyric acid, a compound classified as a short-chain fatty acid. Butyric acid occurs naturally in the large intestine, and in the body is used, among other things, as an energy source for colonocytes, the epithelial cells of the large intestine. In supplements, sodium butyrate is used as a convenient, repeatable source of butyric acid in a clearly measured portion.
This formulation uses a microgranulation and HPMC capsule that is technologically significant: the capsule is designed to limit release in the stomach and direct the release of the ingredient into the intestines. This release profile is practical because it reduces the "loss" of portions due to the ingredient's contact with the acidic environment of the stomach and makes supplementation more predictable. In addition, the later release typically makes it more convenient to use in a daily routine.
SUPPLIFE Sodium Butyrate Forte is a formulation with clear specifications: high butyric acid content per capsule, clear standardization, and technology focused on intestinal release.
