Medverita Sodium Butyrate 120 Capsules

The Medverita Sodium Butyrate 120 capsules dietary supplement is a pure product containing 460 mg of sodium butyrate in 2 capsules, including no less than 350 mg of butyric acid encapsulated in microcapsules to protect the content from too rapid degradation in the digestive tract.

Sodium butyrate is the sodium salt of butyric acid. Butyric acid is an organic chemical compound belonging to the group of short-chain carboxylic acids. It is used in various fields.

When supplied in food, for example cheese, this acid does not reach the intestinal lumen, as it has already been broken down. Therefore, it is important to supply it in the form of microcapsules, which protect the content from the powerful action of gastric acid, for example, and from the destruction of the structure of the desired substance. In this way, butyric acid safely reaches the intestines, where it serves as a complete substrate for enterocytes.

Butyric acid is also produced by bacteria living in the intestinal lumen. However, in the case of pathology affecting the gastrointestinal tract, such as antibiotic therapy, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or low dietary fiber intake, its production is impaired.

In summary, Medverita Sodium Butyrate 120 capsules is a dietary supplement providing butyric acid. The product contains no additional fillers or preservatives.
