Each capsule contains 480 mg of sodium butyrate that has been microencapsulated in a sustained-release (SR) cellulose matrix. Sodium butyrate is the sodium salt of butyric acid, a four-carbon short-chain fatty acid. The bottle contains 60 capsules, which is a 30-day supply at 2 capsules per day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"osb-faq-q\" id=\"osb-faq-how-much\"\u003eHow much butyric acid is in each capsule?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"osb-faq-a\"\u003eEach capsule contains 480 mg of sodium butyrate, which provides 384 mg of butyric acid. The daily serving of 2 capsules provides 960 mg of sodium butyrate and 768 mg of butyric acid. Butyric acid makes up 80% of sodium butyrate by weight; the remainder is sodium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"osb-faq-q\" id=\"osb-faq-sr\"\u003eWhat does \"SR\" and \"microencapsulated\" mean?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"osb-faq-a\"\u003eSR stands for sustained release. The sodium butyrate is coated in a matrix of hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, cellulose and ethylcellulose so that it is released gradually rather than all at once after swallowing. The coating also masks the strong, rancid-butter smell and taste of free butyric acid, so the capsules are odourless and tasteless. The capsules must be swallowed whole for the coating to work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"osb-faq-q\" id=\"osb-faq-legal\"\u003eIs sodium butyrate legal to buy in Ireland?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"osb-faq-a\"\u003eYes. Sodium butyrate is sold as a food supplement across the EU, and this product is placed on the market by an EU manufacturer under EU food supplement rules. Food supplements in Ireland are overseen by the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI). No authorised EU health claim exists for butyrate, so this page makes no claim about what it does in the body. It is not a medicine and is not a substitute for any prescribed treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"osb-faq-q\" id=\"osb-faq-vegan\"\u003eIs it suitable for vegans and vegetarians?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"osb-faq-a\"\u003eYes. The capsule shell is hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC), a plant-derived cellulose, not gelatine. The microencapsulation matrix is cellulose and ethylcellulose, and no animal-derived ingredients are listed. The product is labelled vegan by the manufacturer. It is also free from gluten, lactose, soy, added sugar and palm oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"osb-faq-q\" id=\"osb-faq-how-to-take\"\u003eHow do I take it and how long does a bottle last?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"osb-faq-a\"\u003eThe manufacturer's directions are 2 capsules a day for adults, taken as one capsule twice daily after a meal with water. Swallow the capsules whole. At that dose, one bottle of 60 capsules lasts 30 days. Osavi also make a 120-capsule size, which lasts 60 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"osb-faq-q\" id=\"osb-faq-sodium\"\u003eHow much sodium is in it?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"osb-faq-a\"\u003eSodium butyrate is roughly 20% sodium by weight, so each 480 mg capsule contributes about 100 mg of sodium, or about 200 mg per 2-capsule daily serving. That is equivalent to roughly 0.5 g of salt per day. If you have been advised to follow a low-sodium diet, factor this in and speak to your doctor or pharmacist before use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"osb-faq-q\" id=\"osb-faq-bhb\"\u003eIs sodium butyrate the same as BHB or \"ketone salts\"?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"osb-faq-a\"\u003eNo. Sodium butyrate is the sodium salt of butyric acid, a short-chain fatty acid. BHB (beta-hydroxybutyrate) salts are a different compound used in ketone supplements and have a different chemical structure, regulatory status and purpose. Despite the similar names, they are not interchangeable. This product contains sodium butyrate only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"osb-faq-q\" id=\"osb-faq-precautions\"\u003eAre there any precautions?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"osb-faq-a\"\u003eThis is a food supplement for adults. Do not exceed the recommended dose. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking prescribed medication or under medical supervision, consult your doctor or pharmacist before use. Note the sodium content (about 200 mg per daily serving) if you are on a sodium-restricted diet. Keep out of reach of children. Not intended for children.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"osb-faq-q\" id=\"osb-faq-delivery\"\u003eHow is it delivered and are there customs charges?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"osb-faq-a\"\u003eOrders ship from our Dublin warehouse by DPD next-day delivery to addresses in the Republic of Ireland.
