This study looks at whether taking a calcium butyrate supplement for 4 weeks can improve how immune cells (monocytes) work and change gut bacteria in adults with obesity. Butyrate is a natural substance made by gut bacteria that helps reduce inflammation. The study will compare the supplement to a placebo in 42 adults to see if it boosts cell energy and improves gut health.
