When it comes to the health of your gut, butyrate runs the show. Butyrate balances the bacteria in your gut (good and bad), aids in digestion, strengthens your immune system, maintains gut lining integrity, and prevents inflammation.

The Top 10 Benefits of Butyrate

1. REPAIRS LEAKY GUT

Butyrate is in charge of maintaining the integrity of the gut lining in the intestines. Supplementing with butyrate can heal leaky gut and thereby alleviate a number of food allergies and autoimmune conditions.

2. TREATS INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE

Butyrate reduces inflammation in the intestines and helps heal conditions such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. This anti-inflammatory action also helps treat digestive disorders such as IBS and diverticulitis.

3. PREVENTS AND REDUCES CANCER GROWTH

Butyrate has been shown to inhibit tumor growth and promote cancer cell death. Butyrate has been especially effective at reducing and treating colon cancer.

4. PROMOTES FAT LOSS

Butyrate supports mitochondrial activity and beneficial bacteria that promote fat loss. It also reduces leptin, the hunger hormone, thereby reducing appetite.

5. COMBATS INSULIN RESISTANCE

Butyrate increases insulin sensitivity and balances blood sugar, dramatically improving conditions such as diabetes and hypoglycemia.

6. STRENGTHENS THE IMMUNE SYSTEM

Butyrate increases T cell activity which strengthens and regulates the immune system, helping autoimmune conditions. Its antimicrobial property also helps fight off pathogenic bacteria.

7. TREATS ADHD, AUTISM, DEPRESSION, AND ANXIETY

Butyrate plays a large role in brain health, helping conditions such as ADHD and autism. Through the gut brain connection, butyrate helps balance neurotransmitter action, alleviating chronic depression and anxiety.

8. REDUCES INFLAMMATION

Butyrate reduces inflammation not just in the intestines, but in the whole body. This anti-inflammatory action serves to reduce painful conditions, allergies, and autoimmune symptoms.

9. SUPPORTS HEART HEALTH

Butyrate helps reduce and prevent atherosclerosis and is used to lower high blood pressure.

10. TREATS PARKINSON’S AND ALZHEIMER’S

Butyrate has shown a profound effect on improving learning and memory with Alzheimer’s and dementia patients. Butyrate has also been shown to prevent cell death associated with Parkinson’s disease.
