Butyric Acid


  • a short chain fatty acid found in in whole dairy products, richest source being butter
  • studies show this fatty acid promotes leanness in animals as well as giving them more control over their eating habits resulting in better metabolic health
  • this fatty acid is used as an energy source by the digestive system and may help with intestinal disorders such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease as it is capable of reducing inflammation in the affect organs and restoring the intestinal lining.
  • this healthful component also is anti-carcinogenic (in a very unique sense), instead of killing cancerous cells it helps them to become normal, healthy, functioning cells.
  • butyric acid is also shown to have strong antimicrobial affects and can inhibit the growth of Salmonella Typhimurium or C. perfringens by 50-90%
  • is beneficial to overall health and the protection and prevention of disease
  • power to kill colon cancer cells
