F.A.Q.

Butyrose® is a microencapsulated sodium butyrate based product with a special patented coating, classified by the Ministry of Health as a food intended for special medical purposes for the diet of patients with specific nutritional needs, dictated by clinical reasons such as colon diseases.

Butyrose® is indicated for the altered trophism of the intestinal mucosa: stress, a disordered diet and in general an irregular life can affect the balance of the intestinal flora. In this case Butyrose® can help restore a state of eubiosis, favoring the intestinal lactic flora.

In case of difficulty in swallowing, it is possible to open the capsule and take its contents by dispersing it in drinks or semi-solid foods (water, milk, fruit juices, yogurt, soups, etc.). In this case, it is recommended not to cook Butyrose® and not to expose it to temperatures above 40 ° / 45 ° C as this would alter its protection.

There are several forms in which butyrate can be bound to calcium or sodium. To best perform its functions, it is preferable that butyric acid is in the form linked to sodium due to its high lipophilicity and cell exchange capacity. The sodium-butyrate bond is very active but also very weak: Butyrose® thanks to its patented form LSC® Microcaps protects this bond in microcapsules, ensuring intestinal absorption with a target & slow release effect.

Butyrose® acts indirectly by favoring the intestinal environmental conditions for the proliferation and development of lactic bacteria that can be taken directly with the products on the market (live cultures, yogurt, specific foods, etc.)
