BodyBioButyrate 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.

Smells a little bit like cheese, but other than that it is an excellent supplement for improved digestion and getting rid of leaky gut.

I take quite a large number of supplements, and suspect the addition of this one has caused me some distress. I stopped it and restarted my cal-mag supplement, but the symptoms did not completely subside. I do not wish to throw out the baby "and the bathwater" in my case, so would appreciate input from those who are on this supplement. Is it, or has it caused you to have these problems?If no one is able to help, I will be forced to go through the exhaustive process of eliminating one supplement at a time until the symptoms subside, then add them back until the symptoms return. Input would be very helpful in abbreviating this process. Thank you in advance. I promise to post back the outcome, and adjust my rating if it warrants it.May 1st: I adjusted the rating and am adding the following observations. While it seemed like the only thing that was problematic at the time, I eventually (after two weeks of symptoms) stopped all of my supplements. The problems cleared up in a few days and stool taken to Labcorp gave no indication as to what caused my distress... as in nothing, nada!! I slowly started taking my probiotic supplement, and followed it with Inulin Fructooligosaccharides. Then I added the Butyrate back at one capsule twice daily. No problems experienced in 24 hours,so I raised it to 2 capsules twice daily. I followed that with the remainder of the supplements over the next week and a half. Interestingly enough, I have not experienced any of the symptoms I reported before.Based on this experience I would recommend this supplement highly. If you notice any of the symptoms I experienced I recommend starting slowly and working your way up with your doses. I am currently on a very low carbohydrate diet and while I supplement with fiber and prebiotics I feel even better taking this supplement.

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.

Ok, I read this is painful for a few weeks, and yes, it is, when you first start taking it, the pain and gas are no good, but it will subside in a few days. I also take one per day and some days I alternate on and off. But when I stopped taking it, my belly was bad again so it definitely works and it will smooth out over a few days. It is SMELLY, but once it is down, you don't notice. Works well, stopped my gagging when brushing my teeth and helped me sleep longer hours. Highly Recommend.

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 👍

One of the capsules was broke open and now the powder is on the outside of all the other capsules. It smells like rotten cheese and I am afraid they will taste nasty if I try to take them. There is a no return policy but I should be able to return this for a non defective bottle. I just want an exchange and it doesn’t give that option. It is a disappointment.
