Super supplement for overall health, but the cost higher not affordable!

It irritates my stomach badly

My HRT advisor recommended this product and I can 100% feel the difference in my body. I have less bloating and I am the most regular I've been in years. I highly recommend this product.

I read that this is a supplement that experts recommend taking more than the idosage on the bottle. I have to take it about 3 times daily every day to keep from getting an infection from diverticulitis. It's a great product, but it does smell weird.

I’ve been using this for several months now, and just updated my review. It’s really annoying with the amount of people who post something online about how amazing a product is after trying it for a few days then you never hear from them again because it was a placebo effect. I tried the calcium/magnesium formula of butyrate around 10 years ago, but my GI system couldn't tolerate it. That was probably because of the magnesium content, which is a strong laxative. I'm also male and don't like getting too much calcium, which is bad for us and easy to over do. Additionally, all the research studies out there are around sodium butyrate. There's pretty much no research whatsoever around calcium butyrate or magnesium butyrate! If you don’t know already, butyrate is a short chain fatty acid found in butter, and in lesser quantities in certain cheeses. It is also produced by your intestinal bacteria. Numerous studies have purported it to have numerous beneficial properties. Unfortunately, butyrate only makes up about 2.7% of butter. So, you would need about 22 grams of butter (a little over one and half tablespoons of butter) to get the butyrate in one of these capsules. Anyhow, I had suffered from severe mostly morning IBS-D for 20+ years after several courses of antibiotics for acne as a teen. A little over a year ago I finally found a high fiber food I could digest by blending pinto beans and increasing them slowly in my diet up to a couple cans a day with no side effects. This helped me tremendously. Then a few months ago I discovered this formula. I started taking 4 a day, but started getting weird gut issues, nausea, dry skin and lips. I moved down to a couple capsules a day, and finally stopped it altogether. Right after I stopped it I became stopped up for nearly a week, which has never happened to me. Then things started to go backwards a little. I decided to add the sodium butyrate back a month ago small amounts at a time, and now I’m able to eat pretty much anything, including all the super healthy high fiber fruits and vegetables I could never eat. Most days now I end up emptying out the capsule and gagging down just half (or less) of the powder inside instead of taking a full capsule. Or, I talk one capsule every other day. If I take any more than that, I start getting side effects again. After doing some research, I saw that nausea was reported in one of the studies on it, along with vomiting. After doing a Google search, I saw someone else who posted in on online discussion forum about this same side effect after discontinuing sodium butyrate. If you aren't familiar with the NLM's Pubmed, you should Google it and look for research articles on sodium butyrate (make sure to do an advanced search for sodium butyrate in the title). You will find numerous studies regarding sodium butyrate's beneficial properties in most aspects of health including cancer, sleep, inflammation, brain functioning, insulin sensitivity, and more. There are however a couple studies reporting that excess butyrate beyond what is produced by a normal host of bacteria in your gut, can actually cause damage, hyper-permeability, and inflammation! So, if you have gas a lot or fast transit such that there's a lot of fermentation going on in you, you may already have too much butyrate in your system. Google's scholarly article database (scholar.google.com) is also a good platform for searching research studies. Sodium butyrate also functions as a histone deacetylase inhibitor in human health.

I recently completed a Gut Zoomer test to evaluate my gut health, and one of the key recommendations was to add BodyBio Butyrate to help heal my leaky gut. I’ve been using it consistently, and so far I’m seeing real improvements. My digestion feels more stable, and my overall gut comfort has noticeably increased. BodyBio Butyrate seems to be working well for me, and I’m grateful to have found a supplement that supports my healing process.to heal my gut.
