Calcium Butyrate with ButiShield™ – Support for gut health and microbiome

Summary
Calcium Butyrate with ButiShield™ is a high-quality dietary supplement designed to support gut health and microbiome balance. Each capsule contains 350 mg of microencapsulated calcium butyrate, which provides at least 123 mg of butyric acid, a short-chain fatty acid that acts as a primary energy source for intestinal cells. With patented MicroPEARLS™ technology, slow release of the active ingredient is ensured for increased bioavailability and gentle absorption. The product is vegan, free of fillers and additives, and produced in the UK according to strict GMP standards. The packaging is 100% recyclable, and for every order a tree is planted through collaboration with Ecology. Calcium Butyrate is designed to support a healthy intestinal barrier, a balanced microbiome and general gastrointestinal health, and should be used as a supplement to a varied diet.

Health benefits
Butyric acid (butyric acid) is a naturally occurring short-chain fatty acid that is formed by fermentation of dietary fiber in the intestine. It is important to maintain intestinal integrity and support the body's own processes. Calcium Butyrate with ButiShield™ provides scientifically documented support through the following effects:

• Provides energy to the intestinal cells (colonocytes) and supports their function and survival.

• Helps maintain a healthy intestinal barrier by strengthening the cell connections in the intestinal mucosa.

• Supports the growth of beneficial intestinal bacteria, and contributes to a balanced microbiome.

• Promotes a healthy gastrointestinal environment through pH regulation and nutrition for the microbiota.

• Has antioxidant properties which helps to protect cells against oxidative stress.

• Supports normal immune function through effects on the intestinal immune cells.

• Calcium in the product contributes to the normal functioning of digestive enzymes, according to approved EFSA claims.

The patented The MicroPEARLS™ technology provides for controlled and gradual release of butyric acid in the intestine, which increases effect and tolerance, and reduces the risk of stomach discomfort.
