Microencapsulated sodium butyrate (MATRIS® technology)

IPS s.r.l., Italy

  • Sodium butyrate is the sodium salt of butyric acid – a compound naturally produced in the large intestine through the fermentation of fiber by gut bacteria.
  • At nikalab we use a premium-grade ingredient – microencapsulated sodium butyrate in Italian MATRIS® technology, patented in the US. By combining DRcaps® capsules with microencapsulation, we achieve double protection and a delayed, controlled release of butyrate exactly where it is needed – in the intestine.
  • Our ingredient is produced to pharmaceutical standards, offering high bioavailability and is free from the characteristic, unpleasant odor.
  • Vegan formula, free from unnecessary additives and fillers.

Scientific research highlights the specific uses of sodium butyrate.

REGENERATION OF THE EPITHELIUM AND INTESTINAL BARRIER

Research shows that sodium butyrate is the primary energy source for intestinal epithelial cells (colonocytes). It supports their regeneration and strengthens the intestinal barrier – limiting the passage of unwanted substances into the bloodstream(1,2).

HEALTHY GUT MICROBIOTA

Sodium butyrate is produced naturally in the colon through the fermentation of fiber by gut bacteria. Research shows that its intake may help restore microbiota balance in states of dysbiosis(3). Studies also indicate it may curb excessive activity of pro-inflammatory bacteria and support the growth of beneficial species(4).

REGULATED BOWEL RHYTHM

Sodium butyrate may support dietary management of diarrhea of various origins – infectious, post-antibiotic, or related to food intolerances. Studies show it may help shorten the duration of diarrhea and reduce intestinal inflammation(5,6). In cases of irritable bowel syndrome, sodium butyrate may ease symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, and irregular bowel movements(1).

ANTI-INFLAMMATORY ACTION

Preclinical and clinical studies have shown that sodium butyrate may modulate the inflammatory response – influencing cytokine expression and the activity of the intestinal immune system(7).

DIGESTIVE SUPPORT AND REDUCTION OF BLOATING

Research suggests that sodium butyrate may positively influence digestive comfort – helping reduce bloating, heaviness, and abdominal pain. These benefits may stem from its anti-inflammatory effects, support for the microbiota, and its role in regenerating the intestinal epithelium(1,8).
