Tributyrin is a precursor to butyrate (butyric acid)—a short-chain fatty acid produced by beneficial bacteria in the large intestine during the digestion of dietary fiber.
Butyrate serves as the primary energy source for the cells lining the large intestine—known as colonocytes—and plays a pivotal role in supporting both digestive health and immune function.
Unlike traditional butyrate supplements (such as sodium butyrate or calcium butyrate), which are primarily absorbed in the stomach and small intestine and possess a short half-life, tributyrin delivers butyrate further along the digestive tract—specifically to the lower sections of the intestine—directly to the colonocytes. In doing so, tributyrin releases butyric acid slowly and in a controlled manner, thereby ensuring higher concentrations of butyrate in both blood plasma and tissues.

SUGGESTED USE:
To maintain intestinal health, take 1 capsule with meals 3 times daily. (Divided doses ensure a more even distribution of butyrate to the intestines.)
Regular course administration is required. Course duration: 4-8 weeks. The first positive effects are observed after 11-15 days of use.
For individuals diagnosed with dysbiosis or intestinal inflammation, the daily dosage should be increased to 4-8 capsules per day after consulting with their doctor.
To prevent intestinal damage during antibiotic therapy, the daily dosage is 4-8 capsules per day.
To restore the microbiome after a course of antibiotics: the dosage is 4-8 capsules per day. Course duration: 4 weeks.
It is advisable to begin using Tributerin simultaneously with the start of antibiotic therapy and continue use for 4 weeks after its completion.
STORAGE:
-
Store in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place, away from sources of moisture.
-
Avoid exposure to direct sunlight.
-
Tightly close the container lid after each use. Do not use if the capsules have changed color or texture after opening the container.
-
Keep out of reach of children.
CAUTION:
Tributyrin has an unpleasant odor and a bitter taste. To ensure optimal absorption and avoid experiencing the unpleasant sensory qualities of tributyrin, swallow the capsules quickly without chewing or holding them in your mouth.
