Kemin introduces ButiShield™ low-odor, microencapsulated butyrate
Kemin Industries’ new ButiShield™ is an encapsulated form of calcium butyrate for humans. It can help fortify overall gut health by supporting the strength and integrity of the intestinal wall.
Butyric acid is an extensively researched short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) that plays an important role in intestinal health, which also extends to overall health and well-being. Despite its benefits, products containing butyrate have many formulation and operational challenges due to its unpleasant odor and difficult handling.
