Medera Nutrition is a Netherlands-based company specializing in gut health supplements. Since 2024, the company has been dedicated to developing and producing ButyEra, a vegan butyrate supplement designed for both adults and children. Backed by five years of R&D, ButyEra is formulated to support digestive health and overall well-being.

With a high production capacity, Medera Nutrition provides tailored solutions to manufacturers and retailers, offering its premium butyrate supplements in various forms and volumes to meet diverse market needs.

Medera Nutrition produces calcium, potassium, magnesium, and sodium butyrates, which are different salt forms of butyrate. These butyrate salts are created by binding butyrate to specific minerals, which can influence its absorption, bioavailability, and application. While all butyrate salts offer similar core benefits for digestive health, the minerals used to create the butyrate salt can provide unique advantages depending on the formulation.

Medera Nutrition enables manufacturers and retailers to choose the most suitable butyrate form for their specific needs, ensuring flexibility in product development and market positioning.

Intestinal butyrate is a short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) produced in the gut when beneficial bacteria ferment fiber-rich foods. It plays a crucial role in digestive health by supporting the intestinal lining and maintaining the integrity of the gut barrier. Butyrate is a vital energy source for colon cells and helps regulate various aspects of gut function. It is also considered an effective post-biotic, delivering benefits even after the probiotic bacteria have done their job. As a key component of Post-Biotic Support, butyrate helps promote a balanced gut environment, reduce inflammation, and support overall gastrointestinal well-being.

In today’s modern diet, many people consume insufficient amounts of dietary fiber, which is crucial for the gut's production of butyrate. While the body does produce butyrate through fermentation of fiber by gut microbiota, this endogenous production is often not enough to meet the body’s needs, especially when fiber intake is low. This deficiency can impair gut health, disrupt the balance of the microbiome, and negatively impact overall well-being. Supplementing with butyrate can help address this shortfall and support optimal gut function.

While the effects of intestinal butyrate vary depending on personal differences and various factors, generally, it begins working gradually from the first day, providing energy to intestinal cells. The first 10 days serve as an adaptation period for the gut, during which bowel habits may change. However, this is not a negative outcome, and regular use of butyrates will restore balance. As the body adjusts, the gut flora becomes more balanced, and digestive processes improve. Over time, consistent supplementation helps support long-term gut health and enhances immune system function.
