How it works
SunButyrate™ is a revolutionary supplement designed to deliver butyrate, a key short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) produced naturally in the colon. Butyrate plays a critical role in maintaining the health and function of the gut, including supporting intestinal barrier integrity, nutrient absorption, and immune activity. As one of the most abundant SCFAs, butyrate serves as an essential energy source for colonocytes (intestinal cells), promoting their proliferation, differentiation, and renewal. However, the challenge with traditional oral butyrate supplements is their poor bioavailability, as butyrate is easily degraded by stomach acid before it can reach the colon.
This is where SunButyrate™ stands out. Unlike other forms of butyrate, which can be destroyed in the stomach, SunButyrate™ uses a unique triglyceride-form sunflower-based oil to protect the butyrate from degradation. This novel delivery system ensures that the butyrate reaches the small intestine, where lipases break it down and release it in a bioavailable form. In simulated gastrointestinal models, SunButyrate™ has been shown to have only 6-8% breakdown in the stomach, compared to over 70% for traditional forms. This advanced formulation maximizes the potential benefits of butyrate for intestinal health.
Research suggests that increased levels of butyrate in the gut can significantly improve intestinal motility, promote a healthy inflammatory response, and support the growth of beneficial gut bacteria. Butyrate is also known to regulate the production of mucin, enhance tight junction assembly, and support the gut’s protective barrier function. SunButyrate™ may offer relief for those experiencing digestive discomfort, bloating, and irregular bowel movements, as it helps restore optimal gut function. A clinical trial demonstrated that just 1g of butyrate supplementation per day improved GI motility and reduced bloating in a large percentage of participants.
In addition to its benefits for gut health, preliminary studies suggest that butyrate may also support the integrity of blood vessels and the blood-brain barrier, contributing to overall systemic health. SunButyrate™ could be a valuable tool for individuals seeking to support their digestive health, manage inflammation, and improve their overall well-being. Its advanced formulation ensures that you get the maximum benefit from this powerful compound, making it an essential addition to your daily wellness routine.
