Tributyrin-X Butyrate Builder | Healthy Gut

Tributyrin-X is a professional-grade butyrate supplement from Healthy Gut, designed to support a strong gut lining, a diverse microbiome and calmer digestion. Each softgel holds 500 mg of 99% pure liquid tributyrin in a patented enteric capsule, so the oil is released in your intestines rather than lost in your stomach. 90 softgels per bottle.

How Tributyrin-X Works

Butyrate is the primary fuel source for the cells lining your intestines, and when there isn’t enough of it that barrier weakens. Tributyrin is the most bioavailable form: the 99% pure liquid oil used here is 25–60% stronger than powdered tributyrin, and unlike the sodium and calcium butyrate salts in most products it isn’t spent before it reaches the colon. The hurdle is gastric lipase, an enzyme that breaks tributyrin down whenever a capsule dissolves in the stomach. The patented PXRcap™ softgel stayed sealed through two hours of simulated gastric acid in the manufacturer’s testing, then dissolved in 2.15 minutes on reaching the intestine — releasing the oil where your gut lining can use it, with no odour and no burps.

Key Ingredients

One active, in a deliberately clean softgel:

• Tributyrin, 500 mg per softgel — 99% pure liquid tributyrin oil, the triglyceride that carries butyrate to your intestinal lining. The other 1% is dibutyrate.
• PXRcap™ softgel shell — gelatin, pectin, sorbitol, vegetable glycerin and purified water, forming the enteric coating.

No fillers, stearates, silicon dioxide or charcoal. Non-GMO, and free from gluten, dairy, soy and added sugar.

Who It’s For

Tributyrin-X is for adults who want to work on the gut barrier itself. It fits when digestion feels reactive or irregular, when bloating and gas follow ordinary meals, or when your list of safe foods has quietly shrunk and you’d like it to grow again.

Suggested Use

Adults: take 1 softgel up to three times per day with food, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner. We recommend easing in — one softgel every second day for the first five days, one daily through to day 15, twice daily to day 20, then three times daily from day 21. If you know you’re sensitive, start with one every third day. Swallow them whole; these softgels are designed never to be opened. Butyrate is a slow rebuild, so stay consistent over three to six months.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is tributyrin different from sodium or calcium butyrate?
Tributyrin is the most bioavailable form. The salts are taken up high in the digestive tract and rarely reach the colon; liquid tributyrin oil is released further down and coats more of the lining.

Will it make me burp, or leave an odour?
No. The enteric softgel doesn’t open in the stomach, so there’s none of the smell or the butyrate burps that put people off other forms.

How long before I notice anything?
Some people report calmer digestion within days, but we recommend three to six months of consistent use at three softgels daily. Individual results vary.

Can I take it alongside a probiotic or a digestive enzyme?
Yes. Butyrate feeds the gut lining, while probiotics and enzymes work on the microbiome and on breaking food down. For more background, read our guide to improving your gut microbiome.
