As a post-biotic, butyrate is particularly important as a primary energy source for the cells of the colon and plays a key role in maintaining the integrity of the gut barrier. Without sufficient butyrate production by gut flora, the gut barrier is at greater risk of becoming compromised by antibiotic use, pathogens, and inflammatory bowel diseases like Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis. For these reasons, the maintenance and repair functions of butyrate make it indispensable to gut health.

Low intake of complex carbohydrates can impair butyrate production because the microflora that produce it rely on the type of fibre found in these foods. A low-carbohydrate eating pattern can also result in low fibre intake, contributing to constipation. That’s why Pure Lab’s Magnesium Butyrate combines both magnesium and butyrate to promote the health and motility of the large intestine. Magnesium relaxes the muscles involved in gut motility, allowing them to function normally and restore regular bowel movements.

Although butter and animal meats can be rich in butyric acid (butyrate), these foods may not be suitable for vegetarians or lactose-avoidant individuals. That’s why Pure Lab’s Magnesium Butyrate contains only vegan butyrate.

Pure Lab’s Magnesium Butyrate is an encapsulated dry powder compound that spares you the mess, excessive odour and faster spoilage risk of liquid products. Keep in mind that due to butyrate’s particular chemistry as a natural fatty acid, butyrate is not odourless; in fact, its distinct odour is a sign of freshness.

For comprehensive gut health, the gastro-intestinal benefits of Pure Lab’s Magnesium Butyrate can be complemented by Pure Lab’s L-Glutamine powder or capsules.
