The bacteria in our gut microbiome "digest" and "ferment" the fiber present in our food, and turn them into postbiotics. One of the most important postbiotics is called Butyrate. Butyrate is a superstar postbiotic because it is the fuel that feeds the cells lining your colon. Just like Glutamine feeds the cells lining your small intestine, Butyrate is what keeps your colon cells healthy and happy.
Research shows that Butyrate has the following beneficial impacts on our health:
1) Improves metabolism and insulin sensitivity
2) Promotes a healthy intestinal mucosal barrier (prevents Leaky Gut)
3) Promotes healthy colon motility (helpful for those with constipation)
4) Prevents colon cancer
5) Anti-Inflammatory effects in the colon (helpful in treating gut inflammation, Leaky Gut, and Inflammatory Bowel Disease)
A recent meta-analysis in JAMA Psychiatry is even showing a link between Butyrate and our mood due to the Gut-Brain Axis.
I have seen great improvement in my patients suffering from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), constipation, and Leaky Gut with Butyrate supplementation.
Here is additional literature on the health benefits of Butyrate:
Butyrate is taken one capsule daily after food.
