Butyrate is an important short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) produced naturally in the large intestine and considered an important source of energy for the epithelial cells lining it. One of the key functions of the large intestine is the absorption of water and nutrients that could not be absorbed during previous digestion. Bacteria in the large intestine also help break down undigested food materials, such as dietary fiber. Most butyrate in the large intestine is formed when bacteria ferment or break down dietary fiber into butyrate and other SCFAs. Butyrate is also a source of energy for the rest of the body: it is estimated that SCFAs can contribute 5 to 15% of the total daily caloric needs of humans. Butyrate Complex provides SCFAs in the form of calcium/magnesium butyrate and is suitable for vegans
