butyrateButyrate is a short-chain fatty acid produced in the colon when beneficial gut bacteria ferment dietary fiber. Although small in size, this compound has wide-ranging effects throughout the body, particularly on gut health, immune balance, and inflammation control.

Scientists now recognize butyrate as far more than a byproduct of digestion. It serves as a major energy source for colon cells, strengthening the intestinal barrier, and acts as a signaling molecule that helps regulate immune activity.
