Butyrate That Actually Reaches the Colon
The weakness of most butyrate supplements is that the stomach and small intestine use up the butyrate before it gets where it's needed. Tributyrin is butyric acid bound to glycerol, which Apex explains is designed to resist upper GI metabolism and reach the lower GI more efficiently, with CoreBiome tributyrin described as 3 to 4 times more potent than sodium butyrate. Each softgel delivers 350 mg in an MCT and sunflower oil emulsion. Apex designs it to support microbiome diversity, the health and function of intestinal epithelial cells, intestinal barrier function through tight-junction protein synthesis, and energy for colonic cells.*
Who I Reach For This With
- Colon-specific complaints where upper-gut butyrate products didn't do enough
- Gut-lining repair in someone who can't take fiber
- The post-antibiotic rebuild
- Patients who want a softgel rather than a capsule or powder
What Makes This Form Different
Apex now has three butyrate products. Butyric-FBR is butyrate plus fiber. EnteroVite is the full short-chain fatty acid profile as calcium salts. Tributyrin 350 is the oil-bound form built for colon delivery. When the target is the colon specifically, this is the one.
How It Fits Into a Protocol
One softgel once or twice a day with meals, 60 to 90 days, alongside Strengtia or another probiotic during the rebuild.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it smell?
Far less than sodium butyrate; the glycerol binding and softgel keep it contained.
Can I take it with Butyric-FBR or EnteroVite?
Usually one is enough. Your practitioner may combine them in specific cases.
Is it vegetarian?
No; bovine gelatin softgel.
Suggested Use: Take 1 softgel 1 to 2 times a day with a meal, or as directed by your healthcare professional. 90 softgels per bottle.
