About This Product
Natural Factors RegenerLife UniqueRelief IBS Butyric Acid 1000 mg puts a full day's label dose into each packet: 4 enteric softgels of 250 mg butyric acid, supplied as sodium butyrate. The box holds 30 packets, or 120 softgels. Helps to relieve Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) symptoms such as abdominal pain.
What UniqueRelief IBS is licensed for
It is licensed for sale by Health Canada and bears NPN 80134771. It is licensed for adults 18 and over.
Inside each softgel
The medicinal ingredient is butyric acid, a short-chain fatty acid also known as butanoic acid. Gut bacteria make it in the colon by fermenting fibre. Here it comes as sodium butyrate, 250 mg per softgel, inside an enteric softgel.
Non-medicinal ingredients: sorbitol, glycerin, konjac glucomannan, xanthan gum, beeswax, pectin, medium chain triglycerides, lecithin, water, gelatin and sodium alginate. Because the shell uses gelatin, these softgels are not suitable for vegetarians. They are non-GMO and gluten-free. Expect a slight odour when you open a packet; the label says this is normal and that keeping the box in the fridge can tone it down.
Which packet size?
This is the larger of the two UniqueRelief IBS boxes. Each packet holds 4 softgels, 1000 mg, and the label dose is one packet a day, so 30 packets last a month. The 500 mg box holds 2 softgels per packet with a dose of 1 to 2 packets a day. Choose the 1000 mg box for one packet a day with nothing to count.
How to take it
Adults 18 and older take 1 to 4 softgels a day, which is up to one packet. Swallow the softgels whole with water. Consult a health care practitioner before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, and consult one if symptoms persist or worsen. Keep it out of the reach of children. The full directions and cautions are under How to Take.
Who it suits
Adults who want the top of the labelled dose range in one portion, taken once a day, and who like having a month in one box. Each sealed packet travels easily in a bag or a desk drawer, and there is no bottle to open or softgels to count out.
