SunButyrate™ Liquid was designed to provide a supplemental dietary source of butyric acid with SunButyrate™, a proprietary, butyrate-rich triglyceride oil. Butyrate is one of the most abundant short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in the colon, where it acts as a key energy source for colon cells. Findings show that butyrate accounts for about 70% of colon epithelial cell (colonocyte) total energy consumption.1 Once absorbed, colonocytes rapidly oxidize 95% of the butyrate into ketone bodies for ATP synthesis.2 As such, butyrate constitutes an important energy source for the body, providing anywhere from 5% to 15% of a person’s daily caloric needs.
SunButyrate™ from Genestra provides butyrate in a unique, highly palatable triglyceride form, which protects against premature degradation in the stomach and upper GI tract. While other forms demonstrate 70% breakdown in the stomach, GI models and in vitro studies reveal only 6-8% breakdown with SunButyrate™, in addition to this form maintaining over 90% integrity in the intestine. Available in a delicious natural blueberry-vanilla flavour, SunButyrate™ Liquid can be taken alone or mixed into food or drinks for an easy way to supplement dietary butyrate.
Digestive Health
The digestive process takes food material, breaks it down into absorbable pieces and transports it into the body. It is a complex process, involving many organs. Digestion begins with the scent of food stimulating the secretion of saliva. When food enters the mouth
enzymes
in the saliva begin to break it down. Chewing physically breaks down food pieces and stimulates saliva production. The mucus membranes of the mouth can absorb some nutrients.
Swallowed food travels don the esophagus and into the stomach. The stomach uses muscular contractions to mix the food with digestive enzymes and hydrochloric acid. High acid levels kill germs that may be in the food. Food stays in the stomach longer if it contains more fat and shorter if it contains more sugar.
The small intestine attaches to the stomach. Near it’s beginning, ducts from the liver and
pancreas
release digestive juices. Nutrients are absorbed through the thin intestinal wall and transported via the bloodstream, to where they are needed. The remainder of the food is pushed through into the large intestine where water is absorbed. The remaining food is compacted and prepared for excretion as stool.
The liver produces bile, which metabolizes fats and proteins. It also takes the toxic material from food substances, like medications, alcohol, and hormones, and processes them to make them harmless. The liver produces factors for blood clotting and the immune system. The gallbladder is a storage area for bile from the liver. The pancreas manufactures enzymes and hormones, like insulin. Insulin allows cells to take in sugar to burn as fuel.
Digestive disorders can be influenced by foods and other substances we ingest and our lifestyle. Water and fibre intake is important for healthy, regular bowel movements since we need them to add bulk to our stool. Foods that are highly processed, certain medications, tobacco and alcohol cause the body trouble as they are hard to break down and damage organs like our liver and pancreas. The digestive lining may also become damaged while the body works extra hard to digest these and especially processed foods. Since processed foods are deficient in nutrients, the body also becomes depleted in fuel in needs to work extra hard.
Stress, anxiety and other emotional concerns put our nervous system in an excited state. Our digestive processes are only fully functional when our nervous system is relaxed. Sedentary lifestyles decrease movement throughout the digestive tract. As our transit time slows there is more opportunity for the resorption of processed toxins from our food and greater chance of microbial overgrowth. Slow transit time also dries the stool and makes it more difficult to pass. Our body is designed so that each time we eat a meal we have a bowel movement. Many individuals can be considered constipated and have bowel movements less than once daily.
Some of the most important players in digestion are not part of our own body.
Friendly intestinal bacteria, often called
probiotics, are an essential part of digestion. They break down food particles, manufacture vitamins and prevent the infection of the tract with other microbes.
Each bowel movement actually contains millions of these friendly bacteria; they are in a constant state of renewal. Many concerns like
indigestion, gas, bloating and
constipation
can be due to an imbalance of the intestinal bacteria. It is easy to upset this balance by improper diet or taking medications like antibiotics.
The health of our teeth and gums is often overlooked as a factor in digestive concerns. Problems in the mouth can lead to malnutrition when foods are avoided due to pain or the inability to chew them correctly. To maintain
dental health:
Use proper dental hygiene including regular tooth brushing, flossing and dental visits
Avoid all refined sugars, sticky foods, smoking, carbonated beverages and chewable
vitamin C
tablets
Eat raw crunchy foods, like apples and carrots, and drink unsweetened
cranberry
juice because they have plaque-fighting properties
The stomach can be afflicted with several common digestive concerns. Indigestion is caused by an inability to breakdown and absorb food. It is usually directly related to the type of food eaten and poor eating habits. Chronic
indigestion
may be related to lack of bile, stomach acid and enzymes, or food sensitivities.
Gastric and peptic ulcers
are erosions of the mucus membrane that line the stomach and upper intestine. Excess digestive juices, deficient digestive juices, bacteria, poor diet, caffeine, alcohol, tobacco, anti-inflammatory medication, cortisone and Stress can cause ulcers.
Hiatal hernias
are a bulge of stomach tissue that have gone through the diaphragm and sit around the esophagus. It is associated with poor eating habits, obesity and the use of
estrogen
medications. Optimize the health and functioning of your stomach by:
Cooking all foods well and eating small frequent meals in a comfortable environment.
Eat slowly to avoid swallowing excess air. Do not drink liquids while eating because it dilutes digestive juices.
Eliminate all processed and refined foods from the diet. Other foods that irritate the stomach are alcohol, coffee, tea, colas, tobacco, aspirin, ibuprofen and spicy foods.
For ulcers, eat soothing foods that produce a protective coating over the digestive tract for example, ground flax seed, yogurt, porridge and congee.
