- Sodium butyrate capsules
- Provides 30% pure butyrate
- Uses microencapsulation technology
Apollo's Hegemony Sodium Butyrate is a dietary supplement containing microencapsulated sodium salt of butyric acid (sodiumbutyrate ).
The method of microencapsulation with fat protects against premature utilization of butyric acid in the upper gastrointestinal tract and allows it to effectively reach the small and large intestines, where it is gradually released. The special encapsulation further nullifies the characteristic taste and odor of sodium butyrate.
Sodium butyrate is a source of butyric acid. Butyric acid, along with acetic acid and propionic acid, is the main representative of short-chain fatty acids (so-called SFCAs- Short Chain Fatty Acids), produced in the large intestine by anaerobic bacterial fermentation of fiber.
Endogenous butyric acid is primarily the main source of energy for colonocytes (colon epithelial cells), thus influencing the regeneration of the intestinal epithelium and the normal condition of the colonic mucosa. The proper integrity of the intestinal epithelium plays an important role in protecting against the entry of microorganisms from the intestine into the bloodstream.
In summary, Apollo's Hegemony Sodium Butyrate is a dietary supplement that is a source of exogenous butyric acid. Microencapsulation technology helps maintain optimal bioavailability of the active ingredient.
