Product Information

Unfortunately, we didn’t find any studies comparing and contrasting the different forms of butyrate supplements; we currently don’t know which supplement form might be more or less bioavailable or effective [ 113, 114]. Support Gut Health & Immune Function With This Pre, Pro, and Postbiotic! A healthy gut is important for many of the body’s functions — support optimal performance of your microbiome with these vegan capsules. There’s the Native American tale that talks about the two wolves that live inside of you. One is good; the other evil. They constantly fight and the one that wins is the one you feed. We suggest feeding the good wolf with good things like fiber for a healthier microbiome. But how do you get enough fiber for a healthy gut? Homeostasis [Balance] is the name of the gut health game Butyrate nourishes the colon wall, maintains a healthy lining and barrier function of the colon, and prevents intestinal inflammation [ 4]. Animal and cell studies show that butyrate inhibits inflammatory cytokines and prevents inflammatory bacterial toxins from entering the bloodstream. 3) Fine-Tuning the Immune System

Butyrate production depends largely on the pH of the large intestine. Bacteria that produce butyrate thrive in a more acidic environment (lower pH), whereas bacteria that produce other SCFAs such as acetate and propionate prefer a more alkaline environment (higher pH) [ 3]. Snapshot Proponents: Acetic, propionic, and butyric acid make up approximately 95% of all SCFA content in the colon, [2] forming as the large intestine processes indigestible fibers. Each one is created via a different mechanism, each of which feeds off the initial conversion of the non-digestible carbohydrate, into pyruvate. In regards to butyrate, bacteria mainly utilize the acetate CoA-transferase pathway. Here, pyruvate is first turned into acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl CoA), [2] which buytric-forming colon bacteria can then break down into butyryl-CoA. [2] Then, in a rather simple single-step enzymatic reaction, butyryl-CoA is converted into butyrate. [2] This entire process is facilitated by some of the more abundant bacteria groups in the intestine, such as Faecalibacterium, Eubacterium, and Roseburia. [2] Butyrate (pronounced “ byoo-ter-ate”) plays an important role in digestive system health by providing the main energy source for your colon cells; it meets about 70% of their energy needs. And it may provide other health benefits, too, including supporting your immune system, reducing inflammation and preventing diseases like cancer. What are the types of butyrate? Probutyrin also protects the gut barrier in the presence of chemical insults or infections. For example, alcohol is known to cause leaky gut. In mice, probutyrin protects the gut barrier from alcohol-induced injuries 16.Core to SO many of issues is gut health. Eliminating processed food helps tremendously, but what else can we do to restore gut microbiota? Other research shows that a diet high in dietary fiber, which encourages butyrate production, could help lower your risk of colon cancer. One of the more interesting potential influences the SCFA has on the rest of the body concerns a person’s weight. Obesity is a prevalent issue in today’s world. Poor eating and exercise habits are not only extremely common components of an individual’s daily routine, but they’re rather easy to submit to, even if you try to live a healthy lifestyle. Not only do these bad habits, in excess, lead to issues, like obesity, but they also throw the operations of the colon out of sync. Poor gut health and obesity don’t necessarily go hand-in-hand, but they are inexplicably linked. [22]

In animal studies, butyrate is neuroprotective and may protect against neurodegenerative diseases such as ALS, Alzheimer’s and Huntington’s disease. However, human trials have not yet been conducted. 13) Damage from Radiation The effect of butyrate supplements or intestinal butyrate concentration on cognition has not been tested in humans. However, this effect has been repeated multiple times in animals, and probiotics containing butyrate-producing bacteria have been associated with reduced stress in humans. Human trials on butyrate and cognition are likely to be next [ 39, 40, 32, 41]. Brain Injury Butyrate is crucial for gut and brain health and may prevent autoimmunity and obesity. Read on to learn about the benefits of butyrate, possible side effects, and sources. Our gut flora controls how we sleep with its metabolites, and human sleep disruption can lead to dysbiosis 30 . Not surprisingly, sleep disruption correlates with many diseases that are often found with dysbiosis 30 . Deep sleep is the most restorative sleep, and thus a major determinant of sleep quality 31 .

Dosage and safety

In another mouse study, butyrate caused obese mice to lose 10% of their body weight, while their body fat was reduced by 10%. In combination with calorie restriction and exercise, butyrate may promote weight loss in obesity [ 54]. Schematic representation of microbial metabolic pathways and cross-feeding mechanisms, contributing to SCFA formation in the human gut. Shaded geometric shapes summarize routes of formation for each of the three main SCFA: acetate, propionate, and butyrate.” [1] CoreBiome® Tributyrin is indeed the source of wellness. In fact, we truly believe the gut is the “Master Switch To Wellness.” Nearly all our internal systems are influenced by the gut—from the heart and brain to skin and immune. If you can master the gut, then you can often master the other systems. What this means in practice is that a depleted immune system or cognitive dysfunction like “feeling the blues” can often be ameliorated by improved gut health. Taking CoreBiome® tributyrin will help with the gut, but we’ll begin with fundamental gut health. Butyrate also strengthens the barrier formed by cells in the colon wall, thus preventing microbes and bacterial toxins from invading the bloodstream [ 31]. Inflammation Due to Aging

Butyrate is the end-game for gut health, but getting enough can be difficult. Butyrate can break down before it reaches the colon, where the real work happens. With tributyrin, it’s able to bypass the stomach and release butyrate in both the small intestine and directly to the colon without losing vital butyrate like you do with regular sodium butyrate. With patented CoreBiome®, you can carry butyrate all the way to the colon, reaping the benefits of real gut health through postbiotic butyrate. https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Efficacy-of-butyrate-in-the-treatment-of-irritable-Scarpellini-Lauritano/513dd8bfd5e3ab2e36d847e568b8d2743df84d9b Tri-Butyrin Supreme™ represents a new approach to gut health and immune function by modulating intestinal flora, promoting colonocyte health and supporting proper gut permeability.* This product features CoreBiome™, a patent pending form of tributyrin. Each softgel provides 300 mg of this novel, broad-application compound.”*In a study published by a team from the Department of Molecular Biology at the University of Connecticut in 2000, butyrate was shown to inhibit NF-kB activity through TNF⍺ suppression. [18] The scientists saw that this inhibition was very similar to that of trichostatin A, which like butyrate is a deacetylase inhibitor. This led the team to suggest that the HDAC suppression abilities of butyrate are responsible for this effect. It’s a hypothesis that makes sense. A 2013 study from PLOS One found that HDACs and NF-kB signaling coordinate disease-related gene expression in human epithelial cells following infection. [19] Tributyrin is the natural butyrate found in butter and it’s the superior form for digestion, absorbability, and bioactivity. This short-chain fatty acid has been the subject of much research and is proven to be more potent than other forms of butyric acids. Eating more fiber increases butyrate production by some bacteria in your gut. There is generally an association between a higher intake of plant foods and increased levels of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), including butyrate, in stools. However, not all plant-based foods yield butyrate; for example, diets rich in fruit or starch are associated with high butyrate levels in the gut, but starch-free wheat bran is not [ 118, 119, 120, 121]. Butyrate is toxic to certain harmful species of bacteria. Cell studies revealed that butyric acid can directly kill or inhibit the common foodborne pathogen Salmonella and Clostridium perfringens, which causes gangrene [ 85]. Also, because of the capsule ingredients, because emulsifiers and other food additives have been shown to be harmful for people with inflammatory bowel disease, I might advise caution on that front as well. The studies I’ve seen are only on mice and concern something called carboxymethyl cellulose as a food additive, not hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, which is actually used as a coating for capsules of IBD-targeted pharmaceuticals, but if you want to exercise an abundance of caution, there is one powdered tributyrin supplement called AuRx that’s available in my Fullscript Dispensary* instead, that has a delivery mechanism that makes it not gross to eat as a powder. It was actually designed for kids with autism in mind, because butyrate has been shown to be beneficial in autism. But reading through one of Lucy Mailing’s other blogs on butyrate, which is linked in the show notes, I think that butyrate may not be advisable in higher dose format for people with active and flaring Ulcerative Colitis, although I do have one client who has definitely benefitted from it.
