Genestra Butyrate Complex 90 Veg Capsules

Genestra Butyrate Complex 90 Veg Capsules:

Contains butyric acid derived from calcium/magnesium butyrate; A source of butyric acid, a short-chain saturated fatty acid which provides energy.

Butyrate is a short chain fatty acid (SCFA) that is naturally produced within the human large intestine. One of the key functions of the large intestine is the absorption of water and nutrients from the diet that were unable to be absorbed earlier during digestion. The bacteria present within the large intestine also help to break down undigested food matter, such as dietary fibre. Most of the butyrate in the large intestine is formed when bacteria ferment (break down) dietary fibre into butyrate and other SCFAs. Butyrate is considered an important source of energy for the epithelial cells that line the inside of the large intestine. Butryate is also a source of energy for the rest of the body: it’s estimated that SCFAs can contribute as much as 5-15% of the total daily calorie requirements in humans.
