Sodium Butyrate
Description :
Overview of Sodium Butyrate
Sodium Butyrate is the sodium salt of butyric acid used as a dietary supplement, pharmaceutical agent, and research compound for gut health, metabolic support, and epigenetic modulation.
Known for its role as a short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) with histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor activity, Sodium Butyrate is widely used in nutritional supplementation, inflammatory bowel disease research, and metabolic health formulations.
This compound appears as a white to off-white powder with a characteristic odor and hygroscopic properties. Its properties—HDAC inhibition, anti-inflammatory effects, colonocyte energy source, gut barrier support—make it valuable in gastrointestinal health, metabolic disorders, and research applications.
Related products include Sodium Propionate, Calcium Butyrate, Tributyrin, and other short-chain fatty acid supplements used in gut health and metabolic support.
Applications of Sodium Butyrate
Nutritional Supplement
- Used for gut health and intestinal barrier support
- Applied in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) management
- Supports a beneficial gut microbiome
- Used in metabolic health and insulin sensitivity support
- Applied in cognitive health and neuroprotection formulations
- Primary energy source for colonocytes
Therapeutic & Research
- Examined for an IBD treatment
- Utilized in diabetes research and metabolic syndrome study
- Study for the prevention of cancer (colon cancer)
- Studies into the neurological and mental health conditions
- Epigenetic modulation by HDAC inhibition
- Immune modulation and anti-inflammatory benefits
Formulation Development
- It is used in capsules with an enteric coating to decrease odor and increase distribution
- In formulations with sustained release
- Sometimes, probiotics, prebiotics, and other ingredients.
- requires odor masking as well as controlled release technology
- Microencapsulated forms to improve performance and stability
Safety & Handling Guidelines
- The characteristic odor is a must-have in well-ventilated zones
- Beware of inhaling fine powder
- Wear gloves, goggles, as well as protective clothes when handling
- Hygroscopic - store in tightly sealed containers
- Store in a dry, cool location away from humidity
- Use the COA as well as the MSDS guidelines completely
