What is it and what is it used for? Elie Health Butycaps is a food supplement made with tributyrin, a triglyceride composed of three butyric acid molecules that effectively supports intestinal function. Tributyrin helps maintain a healthy gut microbiota and supports healthy tissues. The technology used to manufacture the microcapsules allows for the slow and gradual release of the active ingredients throughout the intestinal tract. Butyric acid is a short-chain fatty acid that influences metabolism and the stability of internal organs in the digestive system. The fermentation of food by gut flora produces butyric acid, which is sometimes insufficient due to imbalances in the gut microbiota. This butyric acid-based supplement helps restore this balance and also reduces inflammation and oxidative stress from free radicals. It is a compound that contributes to the development, permeability, nutrition, and reduction of inflammation in intestinal tissues. In the intestinal wall, tributyrin has the ability to increase the size of the intestinal villi in order to increase the surface area for nutrient absorption. It also stimulates intestinal secretions, improves digestion, and protects the intestinal mucosa. It also stimulates the intestinal immune system to better resist the action of pathogenic microorganisms and tissue oxidation. Furthermore, it supports the strengthening of the junctions between intestinal mucosal cells to counteract permeability. This Elie Health supplement is developed with ingredients and processes based on gut microbiota care, nutrition, and intestinal function. Who is it for?
