This type of fatty acid occurs naturally in the large intestine when gut bacteria ferment dietary fiber. Butyrate is therefore a substance naturally produced by the body. On this page, we describe what sodium butyrate is, the forms in which you may encounter it, and what to look for when choosing a supplement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn our range, you will find sodium butyrate in capsule form from various brands. For example, there is \u003cstrong\u003eVit4ever Sodium Butyrate (Butanoic Acid) 90%\u003c\/strong\u003e with 180 capsules and \u003cstrong\u003eOsavi Sodium Butyrate SR 960 mg\u003c\/strong\u003e with 120 capsules and a slow-release coating for delayed release.

It is a short-chain fatty acid consisting of a chain of four carbon atoms. In supplements, butyric acid is usually bound to sodium, making it a stable, powdered salt that can be processed into capsules. Sodium butyrate and “sodium butyrate” refer to the same substance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere does butyrate come from?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eButyrate occurs naturally in the large intestine. When gut bacteria ferment undigested dietary fiber, short-chain fatty acids are released, including butyrate, acetate, and propionate. Butyric acid also occurs in small amounts in food, for example in butter and some fermented products; it owes its name to that characteristic odor. The butyrate in supplements is produced during a manufacturing process and added to capsules as a sodium salt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eForms and variants\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSodium butyrate is available in several versions. Broadly speaking, there are two types you will find in our range:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegular capsules\u003c\/strong\u003e: such as the Vit4ever variant with 90% sodium butyrate.

Therefore, always compare the label to see how many milligrams you receive per capsule and per daily dose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is slow release and why do people choose it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSlow release, also known as delayed or controlled release, refers to a coating or matrix that prevents the contents from being fully released immediately, instead releasing them gradually over a longer period. Butyric acid has a strong, distinctive odor on its own; some people therefore choose a coated capsule. Which form is best for you depends on your own preference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDosage and use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe recommended amount varies by product and brand, partly due to differences in concentration and capsule size. With the Osavi SR variant, two capsules usually make up a daily dose, while the Vit4ever variant has its own recommended intake. Therefore, always follow the directions for use and the recommended daily amount on the packaging and do not exceed them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen do you take sodium butyrate?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe time of intake is not fixed and varies by brand.

Your body therefore produces this acid partly on its own, but you can also take it as a supplement. This sodium butyrate from Vit4ever provides 600 mg per capsule, 90 percent of which consists of pure butyric acid. You only take 1 capsule per day, so a bottle of 180 capsules lasts for six months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat butyric acid is and why it is bound\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eButyric acid, also known as butter acid, naturally occurs in your large intestine when bacteria break down indigestible fibers. It is one of the most important short-chain fatty acids formed in this way, alongside acetic acid and propionic acid. Pure butyric acid is a volatile, strongly scented liquid, with a smell that many people associate with rancid butter. To make it usable as a supplement, it is bound to sodium, creating sodium butyrate: a stable, solid salt instead of a liquid acid. In this bound form, the acid is largely odorless and easy to dose in a capsule. Vit4ever deliberately chooses this form precisely to make daily use more practical than would be possible with pure, liquid butyric acid. The capsule itself is also resistant to stomach acid, which means that it does not dissolve directly in your stomach but further down in the gastrointestinal tract.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTo be combined with a high-fiber diet\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany people who use sodium butyrate also pay attention to their fiber intake, for example through whole grains, vegetables, and legumes. After all, fiber is the raw material from which intestinal bacteria produce butyric acid themselves. One capsule of sodium butyrate and a high-fiber diet therefore complement each other instead of one replacing the other. With 1 capsule of sodium butyrate per day, you add a fixed amount of 540 mg of butyric acid. This makes it a straightforward supplement for those who are already consciously mindful of what they eat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVegan and without unnecessary additives\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVit4ever's sodium butyrate is completely vegan: the capsule itself is plant-based in composition, made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose instead of gelatin. The product contains no unnecessary fillers, colorings, or flavorings. This means you know exactly what you are taking: sodium butyrate and the capsule shell, nothing more. Vit4ever has every batch produced independently tested for content and purity, so that the 90 percent butyric acid stated on the label is actually in the capsule. With 1 capsule per day and 180 capsules per bottle, you have a six-month supply on hand at once, without having to reorder halfway through. Whether you are just starting with sodium butyrate or have been using it for a while: with 1 capsule per day, the routine remains simple.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vit4ever","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51283467010386,"sku":"vit4-464","price":24.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/files\/vit4ever-natriumbutyraat-butaanzuur-90-180-capsules-vit4eve-1.jpg?v=1793623872"},{"product_id":"natriumbutyraat-sr-960mg","title":"Sodium Butyrate SR 960mg | 120 Capsules | Osavi","description":"\u003ch2\u003eOsavi Sodium Butyrate SR 960 mg\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese capsules contain \u003cstrong\u003esodium butyrate\u003c\/strong\u003e with a slow-release coating.

Sodium butyrate is the sodium salt of butyric acid, a short-chain fatty acid that also occurs naturally in your body. Thanks to the slow-release technology, the substance is released gradually, and the characteristic smell and taste of butyric acid are suppressed.

Butyric acid is a short-chain fatty acid, a small type of fatty acid. In your body, it occurs naturally in the large intestine, where bacteria ferment dietary fiber. You also find butyric acid in small amounts in dairy and fermented products; it gets its name from butter, where it occurs naturally. In this supplement, it is bound to sodium to form a stable salt, so it can be processed into a capsule. As a salt, it is more stable and easier to dose than the liquid acid itself. This way, you get a fixed, measured amount per capsule.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eButyric Acid, a Short-Chain Fatty Acid\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eShort-chain fatty acids are fatty acids with a short carbon chain. Butyric acid is one of them, along with acetic acid and propionic acid; together, they form the three most common short-chain fatty acids that originate in the large intestine. They are released when gut bacteria break down fibers from your diet. Butyric acid has a distinctive, somewhat pungent odor, the same smell you perceive with old butter. This immediately explains why pure sodium butyrate powders smell so strong. In these capsules, butyric acid is processed as a sodium salt and protected by a coating, which means you notice little of that smell.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy slow release?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePure sodium butyrate has a strong, somewhat rancid smell and taste, which many people find unpleasant. This is where slow-release technology comes in. The coating ensures that the substance is not released all at once but gradually. This largely shields the typical smell and taste. In practice, this means: you swallow a capsule without tasting the pungent smell of butyric acid. The abbreviation SR stands for slow release, meaning delayed release. That is the difference from regular sodium butyrate capsules without this coating. Because you take two capsules a day, you also divide the intake throughout the day: one in the morning and one in the evening. This way, you spread the amount and keep the intake easily integrated into your routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e960 mg per day, low odor and vegan\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo capsules per day provide 960 mg of sodium butyrate, of which 768 mg is butyric acid.

The composition is deliberately simple: in addition to sodium butyrate, Osavi uses cellulose as a filler and cellulose-based substances for the shell and coating. No unnecessary additives. The capsules are free of gluten, lactose, soy, and GMOs and suitable for vegans.

With the recommended two capsules per day, one bottle lasts 45 days. The product is vegan and is made in Poland. OstroVit is a Polish brand that produces its supplements itself in Zambrów. The label clearly states how much sodium butyrate and how much butyric acid you get per capsule, so you don't have to do any calculations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat exactly is butyric acid?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eButyric acid (also called butanoic acid) is a saturated short-chain fatty acid with four carbon atoms. The name comes from butter, because it occurs naturally in small amounts in milk and butter. What many people do not know is that your body also produces butyric acid itself. Bacteria in your large intestine produce it when they break down fibers that you cannot digest yourself, such as resistant starch and inulin. Sodium butyrate is the salt form of this fatty acid. In that form, it is more stable and easier to incorporate into a capsule. Of the 600mg of sodium butyrate per capsule, 30 percent is butyric acid, so 180mg. Dairy naturally contains small amounts of butyric acid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy OstroVit uses microcapsules\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe difference lies in the packaging of the substance. Plain sodium butyrate dissolves early in your digestive tract. That is why the sodium butyrate in this product is in gastric-resistant microcapsules. These are tiny balls with a coating of plant-based fatty acids that do not dissolve immediately in your stomach. In short: the substance is only released further down in your digestive tract. An additional benefit of that coating: sodium butyrate itself has a strong, rancid smell that reminds you of old butter. The coating keeps that smell largely contained. Around those microcapsules is another regular capsule made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, a plant-based material that is used in many vegan supplements instead of gelatin. There is nothing else in it: no fillers, no anti-caking agents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to use sodium butyrate from OstroVit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany people wonder when is best to take these capsules. OstroVit advises one capsule twice a day, preferably during a meal, with a glass of water. This brings you to 1200mg of sodium butyrate per day, of which 360mg is butyric acid. Do not take more than that daily dose. The capsules are not intended for children or for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. OstroVit regularly has the production checked by an independent laboratory for microbiological purity and heavy metals. The brand also publishes those test reports on its own website, with the date per production batch. Store the bottle in a cool, dry place after opening and close the lid tightly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short, with this bottle you get a simple product: sodium butyrate in microcapsules, a plant-based capsule, and nothing else. No colorings, no sweeteners, and no animal ingredients. For those who want to know what is in their supplement, that is a straightforward choice. And with 90 capsules in the bottle, you have a one-and-a-half-month supply with the recommendation of two per day.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OstroVit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54900778500434,"sku":"OstroVit-027","price":9.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/files\/OstroVit-027.jpg?v=1790776333"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.luto-supplements.nl\/en\/collections\/natriumbutyraat.oembed","provider":"LUTO Supplements","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
