Bettergut® Pre and Postbiotic

Indications

Bettergut® is especially beneficial for those seeking support for leaky gut and other inflammatory gut issues. It aids in maintaining intestinal barrier function, a healthy gut environment that is also beneficial to the gut microbiome. As a direct butyrate generator, it supports the gut-brain and gut-organ axes, with positive effects on nervous system function, metabolic health, oxidative stress, mood, rest, cardiovascular function, immune and skin health. Even if gut health is compromised, Bettergut® can offer remarkable benefits due to its unique ability to generate beneficial butyrate, regardless of the state of the microbiome.

More about this product

Introducing Bettergut®, an advanced pre- and postbiotic that takes a revolutionary approach to gut health by featuring tributyrin – a direct butyrate generator – as its primary active ingredient.

Tributyrin consists of three butyrate molecules attached to a glycerol backbone, which is rapidly hydrolysed by enzymes in the small intestine to release butyrate directly into the colon. Butyrate is a key short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) critical not only for gut health but also for cell signaling and gut-mediated effects on other organs, such as through the gut-brain axis.

Bettergut® also promotes digestive comfort with minimal gas or bloating. It is not influenced by variations in an individual’s microbiome, making it beneficial for nearly everyone. In addition, Bettergut® contains Sunfiber® (partially hydrolyzed guar fiber) and acacia fiber, which act as prebiotics. These ingredients further support butyrate and other SCFA production through fermentation in the large intestine. This dual-action approach ensures efficient and consistent butyrate generation.

Bettergut® works synergistically with probiotics such as Ceregut®, enhancing butyrate production and creating a true synbiotic effect.
