Biome and Butyrate

Colonization of the Caenorhabditis elegans gut with human enteric bacterial pathogens leads to proteostasis disruption that is rescued by butyrate

I’ve been taking Butyric Acid supplements since September 2018, and all of my Parkinson’s symptoms have been alleviated.

Hello Russ! I just started Niacin last week (250 mg Time Released) and started the Butyrate that you recommended yesterday.

How are you doing? Is it still working for you?

Do you take any other supplements?

Thanks,

Bolt

My understanding is that taking butyrate orally is ineffective because it does not reach the colon.  The studies that I’ve read say that providing appropriate prebiotics allows butyrogenic bacteria to produce butyrate in the colon.  Has anyone seen studies to the contrary?
