Product Description Butyrate is a short-chain fatty acid that supports the formation of healthy bacteria in the gut. Q: Is it supposed to smell? A: Yes, and we do not use any additives or fillers to mask the scent. Butyrate is quite infamous for its scent because it is a molecule naturally produced by the body to feed colon cells. We create butyrate exactly as it’s formed in the colon - through the bacterial fermentation of resistant starch. In its organic state, butyric acid is surrounded by the body’s unwanted debris. So, naturally, it doesn’t smell good. Substances sometimes added to butyrate in order to control its aroma interfere with butyrate’s character. Butyrate need only speak for itself as the analeptic substance it is Q: Is it similar to a probiotic? A: No, Butyrate is not bacteria but a short chain fatty acid (SCFA) 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 Ingredients Butyric acid, calcium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, medium chain triglycerides (MCT), hydroxlpropyl methylcellulose and purified water.

Incredible difference, just don't sniff them if you have sensory aversion to smells
I started reading about Butyrate after a chance mention of it on one of the groups I'm in. I'd like to give a little background as these supplements have made a massive difference for me but obviously this review is from my perspective.For as long as I can remember (30+ years) I've had horrible stomach issues which various GP's just put down to IBS, the thing that gets diagnosed when they don't know what the cause is. Things like severe bloating after eating anything which was extremely uncomfortable. And I mean anything. Tried elimination diets, probiotics, charcoal tablets and prescribed meds from the doctor but nothing helped and I figured this was my life now and it's caused a lot of misery. Without exaggeration, I would go from being a size 14 at the start of the day to looking like I was 8 months pregnant by the end of it.I have chronic anxiety which I know has an effect on the gut. I'm also autistic, adhd, hypermobile ... basically a whole load of factors which stomach issues is a known common issue. So I read up on Butyrate and figured it was worth a try as all the studies and articles pointed to it being a good thing for the gut.I've been taking two capsules daily since the end of October and from the very first day it's been a life changer. Zero bloating which I still can't believe 3 months on - I was waiting for the effectiveness to reduce but nope, it's been constant. Anxiety has been reduced to a bearable level which was completely unexpected but oh so welcome. Appetite has also reduced which may be something to take into consideration if you have issues around eating food for whatever reason - I'm still eating one breakfast and one main meal but have no interest whatsoever in snacking. Some days I'd happily not eat at all (this isn't unusual as I have a history of going for days not eating due to anxiety) but I make sure I have something at least once a day as I'm trying to take better care of my health. Oh and weird side effect - motion sickness has reduced too! Usually I can't watch other people gaming because the movement makes me feel nauseated within minutes and if I'm gaming, half an hour would be my limit if I've not taken motion sickness pills. It's not gone completely but at a guess, it's at least tripled the time I watch / play without feeling ill.Fair warning - the capsules do have a smell. To me it's a little like parmesan cheese, or what I can remember it smelling like. I've not sniffed too closely unlike my eldest son (he's 20+ not a child btw) who wouldn't take my word for it that they had a distinct odour and put his nose right to the tub and inhaled ... the look of regret and disgust was a sight to behold! Going on the instructions I put the capsules in the lid and take them that way instead of touching them - forgot one time and it does leave the smell on your hands which thankfully doesn't linger once washed.If you've read this far, I'd just like to say that if any of the above sounds familiar then it's definitely worth giving these a go. I was reluctant to review / recommend them too quickly in case the effects lessened over time but I feel after nearly 3 months, it's safe to leave a review now. Will update if any differences occur in the future!

This product is not very good
I took two tablets from this product yesterday and had it with my breakfast. I took it with my tablets for hypertension and other supplements. I researched this product prior to ordering it and even get a doctor to confirm whether it would be alright with my medical prescriptions. I went to bed feeling reasonably alright but found myself unable to sleep properly. I woke up about three times and had to drink water because my throat was dry. I also felt this morning as if I was being strangled and overall not happy with the side effects at all.I don't know whether I can return it because I already used two and tore the box up. Can someone assist me with this please? Thanks

Botty burps gone!
I bought this directly through the company. I’ve had terrible flatulence for quite some time, reaching the point where I’ve had to cancel arrangements sometimes and it was becoming uncontrollable! Within 5 days of taking 2 tablets a day, one with each of my meals, I have immediately noticed a huge difference. Very little flatulence now - I have my life back and my husband doesn’t hate me anymore! PS I can’t smell anything when I take them!I’ll now work on my gut and build up the gut bacteria that produce butyrate.
