Feeding the Cells That Hold the Gut Wall Together
The cells lining your colon run on a fuel most people have never heard of: butyrate, a short-chain fatty acid your gut bacteria make when they ferment fiber. Low fiber, antibiotics, a long stretch of poor digestion, or a medication that slows the gut down can all leave the colon short on it. Butyric-FBR is Apex's answer: 250 mg of butyric acid paired with a 1,000 mg prebiotic fiber blend and fennel seed, designed to support microbiome diversity and gut barrier integrity.*
Who I Reach For This With
- Patients on GLP-1 medications whose bowels have slowed and whose digestion has changed since starting
- The post-antibiotic gut that never quite settled
- People who can't tolerate much fiber from food but still need to feed the microbiome
- Anyone in the rebuilding phase after a microbial-balance protocol
What Makes This Form Different
Apex makes two butyrate products and they are not interchangeable. Butyric-FBR is butyrate plus fiber, a prebiotic and postbiotic in one capsule, for people who need both. EnteroVite is the full short-chain fatty acid profile with no fiber, for people who react to fermentable fiber or need a higher dose of the fatty acids themselves. If fiber bothers you, EnteroVite is the one.
How It Fits Into a Protocol
I pair Butyric-FBR with Fibromin when regularity is the main complaint, and with DigestEasy when food is sitting heavy. On a gut-rebuilding protocol it follows GI-Synergy and runs alongside a daily probiotic. For patients on GLP-1 therapy it's one of three products in the GLP-1 digestive support collection.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will this cause gas or bloating?
The fiber blend is gentle, and the fennel is there for digestive comfort, but anyone new to fiber should start with one capsule and build up over a week.
Can I take it with a GLP-1 medication?
Butyric-FBR is a food-based fiber and butyrate supplement. Check with your prescribing provider, as with anything you add while on a medication.
Butyric-FBR or EnteroVite?
Butyric-FBR if you want fiber included and tolerate it. EnteroVite if fiber is a problem or you need the full fatty-acid profile.
Suggested Use: Take 2 capsules once a day, or as directed by your healthcare professional. 90 capsules per bottle, 45 servings.
