SunButyrate™ Liquid was designed to provide a supplemental dietary source of butyric acid with SunButyrate™, a proprietary triglyceride oil rich in butyrate. Butyrate is one of the most abundant short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in the colon, where it serves as an important energy source for colonic cells. Research has shown that butyrate accounts for approximately 70% of the total energy consumption of colonic epithelial cells (colonocytes). Once absorbed, colonocytes rapidly oxidize 95% of the butyrate into ketone bodies for ATP2 synthesis. Thus, butyrate is an important energy source for the body, providing 5 to 15% of a person's daily caloric needs.
SunButyrate™ provides butyrate in a unique and tasty triglyceride form, which protects against premature breakdown in the stomach and upper digestive tract. While other forms degrade 70% in the stomach, GI models and in vitro studies reveal that only 6-8% of SunButyrate™ degrades. Furthermore, this form maintains over 90% of its integrity in the intestine. Available in a delicious natural blueberry and vanilla flavor, SunButyrate™ Liquid can be taken alone or mixed with food or beverages as a butyrate dietary supplement.
