Summary

This completed study tested two dietary supplements—a butyrate formulation and a butyrate plus polyphenol formulation—against a placebo in 143 adults with frequent gut issues. The goal was to see if these supplements improve gut health, reduce gut permeability, and ease digestive symptoms. Participants took capsules daily and were monitored for changes in gut microbiome, symptoms, and other markers.

What this could lead to
