Abstract

Butyric acid is a natural substance produced in the colon with a broad effect on the intestines – trophic, anti-inflammatory, maintaining the integrity of the intestinal barrier. It is produced with the participation of saprophytic bacteria, so when the intestinal microbiota is disturbed, the amount of butyrate in the intestine decreases. Supplementation with probiotic bacteria, especially Lactobacillus spp., Bifidobacterium spp., can naturally increase butyrate concentration.
