Tributyrin Plus™ is an innovative, direct butyrate generator for gut health, so you can take your digestive wellbeing to the next level! It has a unique ability to get butyrate into the colon. This improves your digestive tract lining health, your microbiome balance, and overall vitality.*
What Is Butyrate?
A healthy gut requires more than just beneficial bacteria. Butyrate, a postbiotic short chain fatty acid (SCFA) is critical and fundamental for intestinal health. Butyrate and other SCFAs are naturally made in your colon when good bacteria ferment on plant fiber. Butyrate is the predominant fuel source needed for colon cells and maintenance of your gut lining. Butyrate works closely with the amino acid glutamine for gut lining repair.*
A diet lacking in fiber lowers production of SCFAs including butyrate. Age, alcohol use, antibiotics, Western diet, restrictive diets, high stress, and overgrowth of non-beneficial bacteria or yeasts in the colon can reduce the production of butyrate.*
Gut Lining Integrity
Butyrate is required to maintain integrity of your gut lining. A strong and healthy gut lining is essential for the health of bones, joints, brain, heart, liver, skin, respiratory tract, reproductive organs, bladder, and all other tissues and organs.*
Energy & Metabolism
Butyrate stimulates energy production in the mitochondria which aids in metabolism of blood sugar, insulin, and leptin management.*
Butyrate and SCFAs also help reduce oxidative stress and cellular inflammatory signals and have numerous other physiological benefits.*
Advanced ButryaGen®
Tributyrin Plus™ contains ButyraGen®, a direct butyrate generator. This unique prebiotic formulation provides tributyrin as well as prebiotic fibers for enhanced butyrate and SCFA production.*
While tributyrin’s primary action is to directly make butyrate, it also breaks down to glycerol which, together with prebiotic fibers, can be converted by the microbiome into more butyrate and other SCFAs. This synergistic relationship enhances the power of tributyrin.*
Tributyrin Plus™ uses an acid resistant capsule to ensure butyrate delivery throughout the intestines all the way to the colon.*
