Description
Indications
Bettergut® is especially beneficial for those seeking support for leaky gut and other inflammatory gut issues. It aids in maintaining intestinal barrier function, a healthy gut environment that is also beneficial to the gut microbiome. As a direct butyrate generator, it supports the gut-brain and gut-organ axes, with positive effects on nervous system function, metabolic health, oxidative stress, mood, rest, cardiovascular function, immune and skin health. Even if gut health is compromised, Bettergut® can offer remarkable benefits due to its unique ability to generate beneficial butyrate, regardless of the state of the microbiome.
More about this product
Bettergut® contains Butyragen® (Tributyrin) – a patented compound that breaks down rapidly in the small intestine to release butyrate directly into the colon. Butyrate is a short-chain fatty acid essential for gut health, cell signalling, and wider systemic effects.
This supplement also promotes digestive comfort with minimal gas or bloating. It is not influenced by variations in an individual’s microbiome, making it beneficial for nearly everyone. In addition, Bettergut® contains Sunfiber® (partially hydrolyzed guar fiber) and acacia fiber, which act as prebiotics. These ingredients further support butyrate and other SCFA production through fermentation in the large intestine. This dual-action approach ensures efficient and consistent butyrate generation.
Bettergut® works synergistically with probiotics such as Ceregut®, enhancing butyrate production and creating a true synbiotic effect.

Benefits of Bettergut®
Delivers butyrate directly to the colon – no microbiome activity needed – to soothe inflammation, ease bloating, and support a balanced digestive system.
Feeds the cells lining in the colon to help restore gut wall integrity, easing permeability and supporting long-term digestive resilience.
A healthy gut lining is the body’s first line of immune defence – butyrate helps regulate inflammation and supports immune balance from the inside out.
Through the gut-brain axis, a well-nourished gut lining helps support healthy nervous system signalling – connecting digestive wellness to whole-body balance.
Recommended by top nutrition expert
Bettergut® offers a breakthrough in gut health.
By delivering tributyrin – a well-tolerated, slow-release precursor to butyric acid – directly to the colon. Unlike traditional butyric acid supplements, it’s odourless, tasteless, and gentle on the stomach, making it ideal for sensitive guts. Tributyrin not only supports a healthy gut lining and immune function but also plays a broader role in mood, metabolism, and even skin health. It’s a smart, next-generation solution for restoring balance from the inside out.
