Butyric acid, also called butanoic acid, is a short-chain saturated fatty acid. The body forms it naturally when undigested carbohydrates are fermented, mainly resistant starch, though inulin, lactose and polyols play a part too. It is also found in fresh milk and dairy products, but only in small amounts. Plain butyric acid is broken down high in the digestive tract, which is why the sodium butyrate here is microencapsulated.
Available in a 90 caps tub.
Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
