Butyricum is encased in a plant-based, acid-resistant, delayed release capsule so that the strain gets through the stomach acid and to the gut microbiome where it can do its job. Butyricum is a better source for butyrate production because over-the-counter butyric acid is likely to be burned up by your stomach acid.
A next generation (Lactobacilli and Bifidobacterium are considered the more well-known strains) beneficial strain that helps relieve occasional gas, bloating, diarrhea and constipation.

What is butyrate?
Butyrate is a short chain fatty acid produced when bacteria in the gut break down dietary fiber. It’s associated with a spectrum of health benefits including healthy gut permeability, blood sugar response, and immune function.
