food for special medical purposes sodium butyrate in capsule form, 60 capsules/1 pack.
The IBESTERAP butyrate preparation, belonging to the category of food for special medical purposes, are capsules containing micropellets coated with a coating ensuring the gradual release of sodium butyrate up to 8 hours after consumption.
Butyric acid contained in the product (in the form of sodium butyrate) belongs to the group of short-chain fatty acids and is the basic source of energy for intestinal epithelial cells. In the human body, it is produced in the large intestine as a result of fiber fermentation. The presence of butyric acid in the gastrointestinal tract is essential for maintaining proper homeostasis of mucosal cells, supporting their metabolism, proliferation, and regenerative processes. It contributes to maintaining the integrity of the intestinal barrier and has a positive effect on the intestinal microbiome, stimulating the growth of beneficial bacterial flora and limiting the development of pathogens.
The preparation is recommended for adults and children over 7 years of age in the following cases:
- in functional intestinal disorders (irritable bowel syndrome, constipation, diarrhea, flatulence, abdominal pain, etc.),
- in non-specific inflammatory bowel diseases (ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease),
- in case of insufficient dietary fiber intake,
- after antibiotic therapy,
- after abdominal surgery.
