Ingredients explained
Butyric Acid (from Magnesium Butyrate)
Butyrate serves as a primary fuel for colon cells and may support a healthy gut barrier and balanced inflammatory signaling in the colon.
Caution: Start with food to reduce potential digestive discomfort, as short-chain fatty acids can cause GI upset in some people.
Caprylic Acid (from Magnesium Caprylate)
Caprylic acid is a medium-chain fatty acid that can disrupt lipid membranes of certain microbes and may help maintain a balanced intestinal environment.
Caution: May cause stomach upset in sensitive individuals; take with food if needed to improve tolerance.
Larch Arabinogalactan
Arabinogalactan is a fermentable fiber that is used by beneficial gut bacteria to produce short-chain fatty acids that support gut lining integrity.
Caution: Increase fluid intake when adding fermentable fibers to reduce gas and bloating.
Magnesium (from Magnesium Butyrate and Caprylate)
Magnesium functions as a cofactor in hundreds of enzymatic reactions and may support normal muscle and nerve function in the GI tract.
Caution: Can loosen stools at higher intakes; adjust timing if stools become too soft.
How they work together
Butyrate directly nourishes colon cells and supports the gut barrier, while arabinogalactan feeds beneficial microbes that in turn produce more short-chain fatty acids. Caprylic acid helps maintain a balanced microbial environment, and magnesium supports normal neuromuscular function in the GI tract for regularity.
