We ♥ Bettergut

Gut Lining Support

Butyrate in Bettergut® plays a critical role in strengthening the gut lining, helping to prevent harmful substances from leaking into the bloodstream, a phenomenon known as “leaky gut.” This can lead to a host of issues like autoimmune diseases, food sensitivities and allergies, skin conditions, a weakened immune system, mental health issues, and more. 

Microbiome Balance

Bettergut contains Acacia fiber and Sunfiber®, which act as prebiotics to promote better digestive health, help regulate blood sugar, assist with weight management, and improve mineral absorption. 

Immune & Systemic Health

Many pre and postbiotics cause gas and bloating; however, Bettergut has been clinically studied to provide the least amount of side effects when used consistently. 

Simple. Daily. Effective.

  1. Take 1 capsule daily

    With or without food, no special preparation needed. Easy to add to any routine.

  2. Take it consistently

    Gut health is a process, not a switch. Daily use builds cumulative benefit over time.

  3. Give your gut time to respond

    Most users notice a difference within 2–4 weeks. Full gut lining and microbiome benefits build over 4–8 weeks of consistent use.

Benefits of Bettergut®

Bettergut® contains tributyrin, a direct butyrate generator. Butyrate is a key short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) that is critical for gut health. Bettergut® is a crucial addition to your gut health protocol.

Inflammation

Butyrate has anti-inflammatory properties and can help reduce inflammation. Chronic inflammation is associated with various metabolic disorders, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease.

Gut Health

Butyrate benefits gut health by strengthening the gut lining and preventing symptoms of chronic gut conditions. It regulates gut motility, preventing issues like constipation or diarrhoea. Butyrate also serves as a vital nutrient for beneficial gut bacteria, promoting their growth and activity.

Oxidative Stress 

Butyrate has been shown to act as an antioxidant, meaning it can neutralise free radicals and prevent them from causing damage to DNA, cells, and tissues.

Digestive Health 

Butyrate promotes digestion through its support for overall gut health as it regulates intestinal movements.

Frequently asked questions

What is Butyrate?
Butyrate is a short-chain fatty acid that is naturally produced in the colon when dietary fibre is fermented by gut bacteria. It plays an important role in maintaining the health of the colon lining and regulating various physiological processes in the body. Most people do not get enough fibre in their diets or have the correct bacteria to generate sufficient levels of butyrate. 
Why is butyrate important?
Butyrate is important for several reasons. Firstly, it is a short-chain fatty acid that plays a crucial role in maintaining gut health and supporting the function of the gastrointestinal system. It serves as the primary energy source for the cells lining the colon and promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut. Secondly, butyrate has anti-inflammatory properties and has been shown to help reduce inflammation in the body. Additionally, it may have potential benefits for the symptoms of conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), ulcerative colitis, and food sensitivities. Overall, the importance of butyrate lies in its ability to support gut health, inflammation regulation, and potentially prevent certain gastrointestinal disorders. 
What is the difference between probiotics, prebiotics, and postbiotics?
Probiotics: Live bacteria or yeasts that are beneficial to the digestive system. They can help improve digestion and support a healthy balance of gut microorganisms. Prebiotics: Non-digestible fibre that stimulate the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut. They act as food for probiotics and help them thrive. Postbiotics: Metabolic byproducts of probiotics. These include short-chain fatty acids, enzymes, and other compounds that are released as probiotics ferment prebiotics. Postbiotics can have beneficial effects on gut health and immune function. In summary, probiotics are the live bacteria themselves, prebiotics are the food for probiotics, and postbiotics are the byproducts of probiotic metabolism. 
I already take a probiotic, do I need this supplement?
Yes, butyrate is a pre and postbiotic which works synergistically with probiotics. In other words, butyrate provides the fuel that helps beneficial bacteria in probiotics flourish and gets rid of harmful bacteria that may be ingested. 
How does Bettergut® work?
1. Tributyrin is broken down in the gut. 2. High levels of butyrate postbiotic are generated. 3. Butyrate provides fuel for healthy bacteria to flourish and helps breakdown harmful bacteria. 4. Butyrate nourishes the cells lining the gut and encourages the production of mucus to ensure that gut integrity is maintained. 5. Butyrate is available to receptors in the cell membranes.
