Name:
| MCT/Butyrate
Liquid 15.6 Fl. Oz. | Function:
| MCT/Butyrate
liquid is a well tolerated non-phenolic complex
of pure caprylic and butyrate acid in a buffered lemon vanilla
flavored pleasant tasting liquid Caprylic Acid, also called octanoic
acid is an oily liquid found in the milk of certain mammals as well as
coconut oil and palm oil; a medium-chain saturated fatty acid, it is
said to have antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties that
may be useful for issues ranging from inflammatory bowel
syndrome (IBS) to generalized inflammatory disorders. Caprylic acid
also plays an important role in the body's regulation of energy input
and output, and is helpful in weight management programs, a
function which is performed by the hormone ghrelin. The sensation
of hunger is a signal that the body requires an input of
energy in the form of food consumption. Ghrelin stimulates hunger
by triggering receptors in the hypothalamus. In order to activate
these receptors, ghrelin must undergo a process called acylation in
which it acquires an -OH group, and caprylic acid provides this by
linking at a specific site on ghrelin molecules. This helps to control
appetite and therefore weight gain |
Most Useful For: | GI Inflammation as in IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), Joint
Support with Anti-Inflammatory benefits, and also as an aid in
weight loss and athletic performance. Butyrate suppresses the
activity of cells and proteins that drive inflammation. In one study
on human cells, butyrate drastically reduced the activity of
interleukin-12 (IL-12), an inflammatory cytokine, while increasing
interleukin-10 (IL-10), which is generally anti-inflammatory.
Short-chain fatty acids, especially butyrate, can reduce the
symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In one study of 13
people with Crohn’s disease, a type of IBD, butyrate supplements
improved 69% of cases, with symptoms completely disappearing in
54% (seven participants) | This
product may have the following benefits: |
Butyrate also strengthens the barrier
formed by cells in the colon wall, thus preventing microbes and
bacterial toxins from invading the bloodstream. If you don’t have
enough butyrate-producing bacteria in your gut, you may be more
likely to develop diarrhea, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and
even colon cancer. Some studies have shown that medium-chain
triglycerides (MCTs) can help in the process of excess calorie
burning, and thus weight loss; also provides relief from muscle
aches, joint stiffness and mobility restrictions throughout the body.
Caprylic acid has been studied as part of a ketogenic diet to treat
children with intractable epilepsy. Caprylic acid is currently being
researched as a treatment for essential tremor |

Contraindications:
| Caprylic acid
is broken down by the liver. There is some concern that people with
liver disease might not be able to break down caprylic acid. This
might cause blood levels of caprylic acid to increase producing side
effects that may include nausea, bloating, and diarrhea.
