Sodium Butyrate Forte by Health Labs is a food for special medical purposes, which means that it can be used for dietary management of intestinal diseases. The product is mono-ingredient, i.e. it contains only sodium butyrate, the active substance of which is butyric acid. The capsules do not use odor-masking substances, so the capsules have a specific odor characteristic of sodium butyrate.

Sodium butyrate is a salt derived from butyric acid - a short-chain fatty acid. Butyric acid, which is the active ingredient in Sodium Butyrate Forte, is naturally produced in the human body, is commonly found in some food products and is a key ingredient in maintaining various aspects of our health.

Butyric acid is produced mainly by microbial fermentation in the colon. Beneficial bacteria such as Clostridia and some Bacteroidetes break down dietary fiber, resistant starches and other indigestible compounds in the intestines. These bacteria produce butyric acid as a metabolic byproduct during the fermentation of these substrates.

One of the main functions of butyric acid is to provide an energy source for the cells lining the colon. Colon epithelial cells use butyric acid as their preferred energy substrate, contributing to maintaining a healthy colon. Butyric acid helps maintain the structural integrity of the intestinal mucosa, creating a solid barrier against harmful substances and contributing to optimal nutrient absorption.

Butyric acid is believed to influence the composition and activity of the intestinal microbiota. A balanced and diverse gut microbiome is associated with better digestion, nutrient absorption, and overall well-being.

To sum up, Sodium Butyrate Forte by Health Labs is a product that particularly cares for the health of the large intestine. Most recommended for people struggling with intestinal diseases or consuming too little fiber in their diet.
