About This Product
Natural Factors RegenerLife UniqueRelief IBS Butyric Acid 500 mg comes in 30 single-dose packets, each holding 2 enteric softgels. Every softgel provides 250 mg of butyric acid as sodium butyrate, so one packet gives 500 mg. Helps to relieve Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) symptoms such as abdominal discomfort.
What UniqueRelief IBS is licensed for
It is licensed for sale by Health Canada and bears NPN 80134771. The licence is for adults 18 and over.
What butyric acid is
Butyric acid, also called butanoic acid or butyrate, is a short-chain fatty acid. Bacteria in the large intestine produce it when they ferment dietary fibre. In this product it is supplied as sodium butyrate, a salt form, sealed in enteric softgels.
The softgel shell contains gelatin, so the product is not vegetarian. The full non-medicinal list is sorbitol, glycerin, konjac glucomannan, xanthan gum, beeswax, pectin, medium chain triglycerides, lecithin, water, gelatin and sodium alginate. The product is non-GMO and gluten-free. A slight odour is normal for butyric acid, and the label suggests keeping the box in the fridge to tone it down.
500 mg or 1000 mg packets?
UniqueRelief IBS comes in two packet sizes built on the same 250 mg softgel. This box has 2 softgels per packet, 500 mg, and the label dose is 1 to 2 packets a day. The 1000 mg box has 4 softgels per packet and a dose of 1 packet a day. The 500 mg packet lets you start at the low end of the range and add a second packet later in the day if you choose.
How to take it
Adults 18 and over take 1 to 4 softgels a day, which is 1 to 2 packets. Swallow the softgels whole. Consult a health care practitioner before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, and if symptoms persist or worsen. Keep the box out of the reach of children. The full directions and cautions are under How to Take.
Who it suits
Adults who want butyrate in pre-measured portions they can carry in a bag or pocket, and who prefer a smaller daily amount or a dose they can adjust between one and two packets. At the label dose, a box lasts 15 to 30 days.
