Sodium butyrate
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).

Sodium butyrate is often recommended for people with inflammatory bowel diseases such as ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD), as well as for those recovering from chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or C. difficile infections. Studies indicate it may help restore epithelial integrity and balance within the digestive tract(3,9).

As the natural production of butyrate in the colon decreases with age – and the mucosal barrier becomes less resilient – supplementation may help support its function(1,2). For this reason, sodium butyrate is particularly recommended for older adults.

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(4). Studies also indicate it may curb excessive activity of pro-inflammatory bacteria and support the growth of beneficial species(5).

Sodium butyrate is therefore recommended for functional bowel disorders (including IBS, SIBO, IMO) – studies show it may reduce symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, and irregular bowel movements(8) – as well as after antibiotic therapy.

It is also recommended during periods of prolonged stress, which disrupts the microbiota and weakens the intestinal barrier – research indicates that butyrate may help restore balance in such cases(4,9).

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(6,7). In cases of irritable bowel syndrome, sodium butyrate may ease symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, and irregular bowel movements(8).

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(9).

Sodium butyrate is often recommended for people with inflammatory bowel diseases such as ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD).

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(8,10).

It is therefore recommended for functional bowel disorders (including IBS, SIBO, IMO).

Sodium butyrate may also be particularly helpful in cases of low dietary fiber intake, when its natural production in the intestine is reduced – for example, with light, elimination, low-residue, or highly processed diets.

Tło jakości

Not every sodium butyrate works the same.

Our Sodium butyrate is a premium-grade ingredient, with purity confirmed by research – free from carriers, preservatives, and unnecessary additives. It is produced in Italy, following current cGMP standards, with strict microbiological and physicochemical control.

The patented MATRIS® technology (USA Patent No. 9,333,170 B2) allows for exceptionally high concentrations of the active substance in every capsule – and for gentle, controlled release in the intestine.

 Microencapsulation and the purity of the manufacturing process ensure better tolerance and help reduce the characteristic intensity of butyrate’s natural odor.

Dual delayed-release technology.

DRCAPS® capsule

Resistant to stomach acid – dissolves only in the small intestine, protecting the contents from premature release.

MATRIS® microcapsules

Each sodium butyrate particle is coated with a thin polymer layer, allowing for gradual release in the intestine.

WHY DOES IT MATTER?

The effectiveness of sodium butyrate depends on where and when it is released in the digestive tract.

Premature release of butyrate – for example, in the stomach – may limit its effectiveness and cause discomfort, including unpleasant aftertaste, odor on the breath, or belching.

Microencapsulation and the purity of the manufacturing process are designed to ensure better tolerance of the supplement and minimize the characteristic, intense odor of butyrate.

Frequently Asked Questions...

What is sodium butyrate and what are its properties?

Sodium butyrate is a natural compound – the sodium salt of butyric acid – and the primary energy source for intestinal epithelial cells. It supports epithelial regeneration, strengthens the intestinal barrier, helps maintain microbiota balance, and contributes to reducing intestinal inflammation.

Can sodium butyrate be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

No. The product should not be used during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Can sodium butyrate be used by children?

Yes, the product can be used by children from 7 years of age – at a dose of 1 capsule per day. The capsule should be swallowed whole, without chewing or opening, after a meal, with water.

Can sodium butyrate be used together with the Everyday BASE?

Yes. Each BASE includes, among others, Omega-3 acids, vitamin D3, and a set of vitamins and minerals tailored to different life stages – supporting the body in everyday functioning. Sodium butyrate was developed as a complement to daily supplementation, addressing specific needs of the body. It can be used alongside the BASE.

Can sodium butyrate be used together with lactoferrin?

Yes – sodium butyrate and lactoferrin can be taken together, and their effects often complement each other. Scientific studies show that sodium butyrate supports the intestines from within – nourishing epithelial cells and strengthening the protective barrier – while lactoferrin enhances this action by supporting the body’s natural defense mechanisms and the gut microbiota(11,12,13,14).

Are there any contraindications to using sodium butyrate?

The product should not be used in cases of hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients, in people with swallowing difficulties, during pregnancy and breastfeeding, or in children under 7 years of age (unless otherwise directed by a doctor). As food for special medical purposes, it should be used under medical supervision and must not be used as the sole source of nutrition. Capsules should not be chewed, opened, or left to dissolve in the mouth.

What makes sodium butyrate from nikalab unique?

  • Premium grade – ≥80% pure sodium butyrate of pharmaceutical quality, with no carriers or unnecessary additives.
  • European origin – produced in Italy under cGMP standards, with strict control of quality, microbiology, and physicochemical parameters.
  • Patented MATRIS® technology (US Patent No. 9,333,170 B2) – microencapsulation ensures exceptionally high concentration of the active substance in each capsule and controlled release in the intestine.
  • Maximum tolerance – no typical strong butyrate odor and no gastric discomfort.

How to use sodium butyrate?

Adults: 1 capsule twice per day; children 7+ years: 1 capsule per day. Capsules should be swallowed whole, without chewing or opening, after a meal, with water.

Where and how to store sodium butyrate?

Keep the product sealed, at 15-25℃, in a dry, dark place, out of reach of young children. Consume within 2 months after opening.

Can sodium butyrate be taken continuously, without breaks?

Sodium butyrate can be used long-term, unless otherwise advised by a doctor. In case of chronic digestive issues or gastrointestinal diseases, it is recommended to consult a physician to determine the optimal duration of use.
