Medverita Sodium Butyrate 120 Capsules

The dietary supplement Medverita Sodium Butyrate 120 Capsules is a pure product that contains 460 mg of sodium butyrate in 2 capsules, including 350 mg of butyric acid, which are encapsulated in a microcapsule to protect the contents from too rapid degradation in the digestive tract.

Sodium butyrate is the sodium salt of butyric acid. Butyric acid is an organic chemical compound belonging to the group of short-chain carboxylic acids. It is used in various areas.

When supplied with food, e.g., with cheese, it does not reach the intestinal lumen because it is already broken down. Therefore, it is important to deliver it in the form of microcapsules that protect the contents from the strong effects of, for example, stomach acid and the destruction of the structure of the desired substance. In this way, butyric acid safely reaches the intestine, where it serves as a complete substrate for enterocytes.

Butyric acid is also produced by bacteria that inhabit the intestinal lumen. However, in diseases of the gastrointestinal tract such as antibiotic therapy, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or low fiber intake, its production is impaired.

In summary, Medverita Sodium Butyrate 120 Capsules is a dietary supplement that delivers butyric acid. The product contains no additional fillers or preservatives.
