New Study Finds Oral Sodium Butyrate Associated With Lower LPS Across Multiple Organs
A new study published in Nutrients in August 2026 found that mice receiving oral sodium butyrate for six weeks had significantly lower detection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in the small intestine, liver and kidneys, with a similar but less definitive trend in the lungs.
What Is Microencapsulated Sodium Butyrate? How Extended-Release Delivery Works
If you've been researching gut health supplements, you've probably come across sodium butyrate. It's one of the most studied postbiotic compounds in nutritional science — a short-chain fatty acid that your gut bacteria naturally produce to fuel the cells lining your colon. But here's the problem most supplement companies don't...

Gold-Standard Clinical Trial Finds Gut-Derived Short-Chain Fatty Acids Improve Parkinson's Symptoms
The gut-brain connection is no longer just a theory.
In a randomized, double-blind clinical trial—the highest standard of clinical research—scientists found that increasing beneficial short-chain fatty acids led to meaningful improvements in people with Parkinson's disease.
New Research: Butyrate Extends Lifespan in Mice With Mitochondrial Disease
A new study published in Nature Communications has found that butyrate — a compound made by gut bacteria — dramatically improved health and lifespan in mice with mitochondrial disease. This research adds to growing evidence that the gut microbiome plays a powerful role in metabolism, aging, and overall health. What...

Urolithin A and Muscle Endurance: Clinical Evidence for Healthy Aging
As we age, mitochondrial efficiency declines. This reduction in cellular energy production is a key driver of muscle fatigue, reduced endurance, and loss of physical performance over time. Urolithin A is a natural compound produced by the gut microbiome from polyphenols found in foods like pomegranates. Preclinical research has shown...

Butyrate and Brain Health: New Research Shows Promise Against Brain Tumors
A new scientific study has uncovered something remarkable: butyrate, a natural compound produced by healthy gut bacteria, may help slow the growth of brain tumors like glioma. Gliomas are aggressive brain cancers, with glioblastoma being the most devastating form. Standard treatments often leave patients with limited options and poor survival...
