THE ROLE OF BUTYRIC ACID IN THE BODY:

• The main source of energy for healthy colon cells
• Supports the structure, function and integrity of the intestinal barrier
• Supports and regulates gene expression at the cellular and DNA level
• Supports the digestive tract environment

Why Butyrate DUO Aliness?

• It is a microencapsulated source of butyric acid produced using
  proprietary method of spraying the matrix layer
• Patented MicroPEARLS™ technology allows for sustained and controlled release of butyric acid throughout the ENTIRE digestive tract
• Calcium butyrate does not require enzymatic release (lipase)
• Calcium butyrate contains about 7% calcium (about 25 mg of calcium ions in 1 capsule)
• Matrix pellets with low butyric acid odour
• Microencapsulated sodium butyrate
• Sodium butyrate without hydrogenated palm oil

The only clinically tested calcium butyrate on the market in healthy people, including mainly women, which has been proven benefits for the digestive tract (subjective data) and in the scope metabolic indicators (objective data).

The results confirm existing scientific data indicating that butyrate has beneficial effects on both the gastrointestinal tract and extraintestinal aspects.*

A unique food supplement on the market, BUTTER DUO allows you to enrich your diet with butyric acid thanks to the combination of calcium butyrate and sodium butyrate.

Calcium butyrate is less soluble in aqueous solutions than sodium butyrate, which, combined with the patented technology of encapsulation and suspension in a special matrix, makes its release longer in the intestinal passage and more controlled (it reaches the right place in the digestive system) and is released gradually throughout the intestinal passage.

The use of microcapsule technology in sodium butyrate prevents the complete release of butyric acid in the upper gastrointestinal tract and allows for its delivery to the small and large intestines. The microcapsule passes with the food into the small intestine and then on to the large intestine, where further amounts of sodium butyrate are released. The microcapsule composition is designed to ensure the release of sodium butyrate occurs throughout the entire length of the small and large intestines.

Butyric acid is one of the short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) physiologically produced in the intestines in the process of fibre fermentation; research on the occurrence and role of SCFA in the digestive system has been ongoing for over 40 years.

The largest share (~80%) of SCFA present in the human digestive system is made up of three types of acids: acetic, propionic and butyric, occurring in fairly constant proportions: 60:25:15.

The proportion of butyric acid is the smallest, but it constitutes the main energy source for colonocytes (large intestine epithelial cells) and stimulates their growth and differentiation. Acetate and propionate are metabolized subsequently, after butyrate has been utilized.

The unique, patented microPEARLS™ production technology provides a prolonged and controlled release of butyric acid in the gastrointestinal tract. Compared to uncoated calcium butyrate, Butishield is significantly more resistant to degradation in the lower pH of the initial gastrointestinal tract, allowing more of it to reach the large intestine, where it is most needed. 

In addition to the "targeted" release site in the gastrointestinal tract, the ButiShield™ Calcium Butyrate production technology allows for more acceptable organoleptic characteristics (mainly odour) than typical sodium butyrate.

Sodium butyrate in Aliness' Butyrate DUO is the only product on the market that uses stearic acid, not hydrogenated palm oil, to encapsulate the active ingredient. Stearic acid is a naturally occurring fatty acid that, due to its specific nature, cannot be hydrogenated/hardened because it is a saturated fatty acid.

The stearic acid in the coating is of plant origin and is completely natural.

*First Clinical Study performed on ButiShield™ calcium butyrate.

Clinical Trial: Effect of calcium butyrate on gut health outcomes in healthy adults (open-label study).
Researcher: Biofortis Research (Addison, IL).

The one: To investigate the effect of a food supplement containing microencapsulated calcium butyrate (ButiShield) on gastrointestinal health parameters in healthy adults.

Methodology: A clinical trial involving humans without a control group.
