Butyrate (Calcium/Magnesium) 100 Capsules

Butyrate is a short-chain fatty acid that is a potent detoxifier of ammonia and neurotoxins. Butyrate also encourages the formation of friendly bacteria in the gut. What exactly is Butyrate?  Butyrate is a short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) that has been combined with calcium & magnesium. It is made in the lower colon by bacteria and taken up by the colonocytes, the cells that line the colon. It then becomes an important food for those cells. Lacking good bacteria in our colon, such as when we take antibiotics, can lead to an insufficient supply of butyrate. What is Butyrate used for? Butyrate scrubs & cleans the liver, the gallbladder, and the biliary tree. It also cleans the bowel, controls ammonia, removes ‘renegade’ fats (the very long ones that accumulate with age), and lowers the expression of inflammatory immune markers called cytokines. How long will 1 bottle of Cal-Mag Butyrate last?  It depends on how many you take daily - they are sold in 100 capsule bottles.
