Magnesium Butyrate

Supports Gut Muscle and Gut Lining

Are your gut flora making enough butyrate to keep your gut healthy? Butyrate (butyric acid) is a short-chain fatty acid produced by the fermentation of certain dietary fibers performed by gut bacteria of the large intestine (colon).

About Magnesium Butyrate

As a post-biotic, butyrate is particularly important as a primary energy source for the cells of the colon and helps maintain the integrity of the gut barrier. Without sufficient butyrate production by gut flora, the gut barrier is at higher 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 your gut health. 

A diet low in complex carbohydrates impairs butyrate production because the microflora that produce it require the kind of fibre found in these foods to do so.  A low-carb diet can also be low in dietary fibre, contributing to constipation. That’s why Pure Lab’s Magnesium Butyrate contains both magnesium and butyrate to support the health and motility of the large intestine.  Magnesium relaxes the muscles important to gut motility, allowing them to function normally and restore regular bowel regularity.

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 support the gastro-intestinal benefits of Pure Lab’s Magnesium Butyrate can be complimented by Pure Lab’s L-Glutamine powder or capsules.
