Butyrate

Butyrate, a superstar of gut health, is a fatty acid produced by friendly gut bacteria when they munch on dietary fibre. It fuels the cells lining your colon, keeping them strong and healthy. This important function helps prevent leaky gut and inflammation. Butyrate's benefits extend beyond the gut, potentially influencing brain health, metabolism, and even reducing the risk of certain diseases. While research is ongoing, increasing butyrate through a fibre-rich diet might be a path to a healthier you.
