NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is pleased to present its high-quality Sodium Butyrate powder, a vital raw material known for its multifaceted benefits. Sodium Butyrate, the sodium salt of n-butyric acid, is a short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) salt with the molecular formula C4H7NaO2 and a CAS number of 156-54-7. It is a naturally occurring metabolite in the mammalian gut, produced by bacterial fermentation of dietary fiber, playing a critical role in maintaining intestinal health and overall physiological balance.

Our Sodium Butyrate is typically supplied as a white to almost white hygroscopic powder. It possesses a distinctive odor often described as cheese-like or rancid, which is characteristic of this compound. With a molecular weight of 110.09, it exhibits a melting point in the range of 250.0 to 253.0 degrees Celsius. A key property is its high solubility in water, forming an alkaline aqueous solution. It demonstrates good stability under typical light and heat conditions, making it suitable for various processing and storage requirements.

The biological significance of Sodium Butyrate is extensive, particularly concerning gut health. Butyrate is the primary energy source for colonocytes, the cells lining the colon. By nourishing these cells, it promotes their proliferation and maturation, which is essential for maintaining the integrity of the intestinal barrier. A healthy intestinal barrier is crucial for nutrient absorption and preventing the translocation of harmful substances into the bloodstream. This effect is particularly pronounced in young animals with immature digestive tracts, where Sodium Butyrate can significantly enlarge the intestinal absorption area by stimulating villi proliferation and crypt deepening.

Beyond its direct impact on gut cell health, Sodium Butyrate acts as a potent signaling molecule. One of its well-studied mechanisms is the inhibition of histone deacetylases (HDACs). By inhibiting HDACs, Sodium Butyrate influences gene expression, impacting cellular differentiation, growth, and apoptosis (programmed cell death). This mechanism contributes to its potential in regulating cell cycles and promoting the repair of damaged mucosal epithelial cells. It has also been observed to influence intracellular calcium levels, further impacting cellular signaling pathways.

In the animal feed industry, Sodium Butyrate is widely recognized as an effective additive. Its ability to promote gastrointestinal development translates directly into improved animal production performance. Studies have shown that supplementation with Sodium Butyrate can enhance feed intake, improve feed conversion rates, and increase daily weight gain in various livestock, particularly young animals undergoing weaning stress. The reduction of diarrhea and mortality rates associated with weaning and other stressors is a significant benefit, contributing to overall animal health and reduced reliance on antibiotics in some cases. The special odor of Sodium Butyrate also acts as a feeding attractant, especially for young pigs, further boosting feed consumption.

Furthermore, Sodium Butyrate supports both the non-specific and specific immune systems. By promoting gut health, which is intrinsically linked to immune function, and through its direct effects on immune cells like lymphocytes, it helps animals mount a more robust immune response. This comprehensive action on gut morphology, cellular function, and immunity underscores its value as a performance-enhancing and health-promoting feed additive.

While primarily known for its success in feed applications, the 'Food Grade' quality of our Sodium Butyrate highlights its potential suitability for human food and nutraceutical applications. As research continues to unveil the benefits of SCFAs for human gut health, immune regulation, and metabolic health, high-purity Sodium Butyrate is gaining interest as an ingredient in dietary supplements and functional foods aimed at supporting digestive wellness. Its role as a postbiotic, delivering direct benefits to the host, makes it a compelling compound for formulators seeking to develop products that promote a healthy microbiome environment indirectly and support host physiology directly.
