Tributyrin is a triglyceride form of butyrate — a short-chain fatty acid critical for colonocyte health. HDAC inhibitor that supports gut barrier integrity, reduces intestinal inflammation, and modulates immune function. Superior absorption compared to sodium butyrate.
Gut metabolite of ellagitannins that activates mitophagy — selective clearance of damaged mitochondria. Improves mitochondrial function, muscle endurance, and cellular energy production. Only ~40% of population can produce it endogenously.
