BodyBio Butyrate Supplement - Postbiotic for Gut Microbiome Health, Digestion and Regulation Support - Butyric Acid with Calcium Magnesium - 100 Capsules

First of all, all butyrate products smell like these capsules smell. There is nothing wrong with them. These help me to be able to digest meat and dairy better and they help me sleep, maybe because my digestive system isn’t working as hard. I did notice however, that I have the urge to pee when I lie down. I’ll continue to take these though because the positives outweigh the negatives.

First, there is a strange smell, but if you can get it down quickly it is no problem. Even with the smell I still rate it 5 stars. This is because I have had IBS like symptoms and I have tried many things. Some give temporary relief. I even thought I had a lactose intolerance. Not to be too detailed, but I had to be sure to be close to a bathroom after any meal and it was getting worse. I was researching butyrate and came across this product. It started working after first use. I take 1 serving with dinner. Currently it has been just over a week and things have become more regular than I have been in many years. I'm no Dr. ,but I took a chance on this one and it is amazing. I feel so much better... no gut pain, more regular, more energy, and more. It is worth a try.

So I just got my bottle. Was all excited about making my health better. But when I took the capsule out of the bottle, it had a smell to it. I was like, it's okay, I'll just swallow it quickly. But then when I went to rub my nose, it still had the scent on my fingers that touched the capsule. And the more I sniffed my fingers, the more it smelled like poop. So I had to wash my hands really good with scented soap. I would like to return it because I know I won't be able to take any of the capsules due to the smell. I can smell it when I open the bottle. But since I already opened it and took 2 capsules, I cannot see me returning it. But be warned if you have a sensitive nose.

My dermatologist recommended I take this. he told me he has studied a lot about butyrate and was so convinced by how beneficial it is, that he wanted me to add it to my acne regimen. He told me to start with one a day with meals, and build up to a max of 6 a day. I had (had!!! :) a severe case of cystic acne...hormonal and genetic...after months of antibiotic treatment, I had recurring thrush (yeast) in my mouth. I am now off antibiotics, and have not had a laser treatment in 6 months. I have not had a yeast recurrence since starting this product. I also have celiac disease so my gut is very sensitive. From my research I can see why he wanted me to take it. It is good for someone who has been on a lot of antibiotics, since it is a prebiotic. He told me the short chain fatty acids would help unclog my pores and help manage the sebum issues that contribute to the acne. My skin is doing very well, however I believe the primary reason is that I have hormonal acne and part of my acne treatment involved going on hormonal birth control to manage it. I was supposed to start accutane, but I am doing so well I feel like I will just keep taking this supplement along with my topical prescriptions and the birth control. I am just thrilled to be off antibiotics, off the anti-yeast medications, and not having to go in for laser treatments every 4 weeks!I am happy with the affordable price on Amazon. It is much more expensive buying direct, I was charged $11 shipping buying it direct from bodybio site, bringing my total to about $70 for a bottle of 250 capsules. I compared the bottles and opened the capsules from each container, the one I purchased direct from bodybio and the one from amazon, and everything appears identical. I tasted the contents of each capsule. I was wondering why it is so much cheaper on amazon and wanted to make sure it was exactly the same product. From my non-clinical observations, they are exactly the same so I will be buying it on amazon from now on. The powder tasted awful,...salty actually...but I guess thats just how it tastes! bottom line, I will continue taking this product, it is beneficial for anyone with acne, anyone who has been on antibiotics, has gut issues or autoimmune disease such as celiac.

I bought this supplement because it was recommended by "selfdecode" which is a website that interprets your DNA results to see how the different genes can affect health.For me personally this supplement causes my entire body to feel incredibly relaxed like I just took 1500mg of Acetaminophen! According to my DNA I am very immune to the effects of CBD oil so I can take massive amounts and feel no effects. However, this Sodium Butyrate seems to work fantastic as an anti inflammatory supplement with similar results as what people claim CBD oil does! It continues to have consistent effects even after 3 weeks of use with no signs of building a tolerance!Im not exaggerating when I say I feel soooo relaxed I could fall asleep on a hard wood floor. Yup, that happened :-) (No alcohol was involved haha).I did'nt notice any kind of boost in cognitive function as some people do, but its possible it is in fact boosting my brains ability to produce certain hormones which in turn make me relaxed. Everyone is different and may have different effects. At this price its worth trying out.Warning: At higher dosages (2 capsules twice daily) I began feeling tooo relaxed which made me feel like I needed to urinate often. At the higher dosage mentioned, the feeling of needing to urinate was only noticeable when laying in bed. During the day it wasnt noticeable at all. This was especially annoying when trying to fall asleep. I eventually reduced dosage to 1 capsule daily before bed.

This product does what it claims - reduced inflammation and improved digestion. However, the smell is so bad I have to wash my hands after I take it each morning! I specifically got this butyrate option bc I wanted the added magnesium benefit, but I don’t notice any difference between the butyrate+magnesium and other plain butyrate brands. Next time, I’ll be purchasing a brand that doesn’t leave a fowl odor on my hands.

My husband swears by this product. There is no after taste, it's effective, and a great value for the money 👍
