Magnesium Butyrate

Magnesium butyrate is the magnesium salt of butyric acid, a four-carbon short-chain fatty acid. Nustras supplies it as a white powder that provides both magnesium and butyrate in a single ingredient for the supplement sector. Butyrate is also formed naturally in the gut by bacterial fermentation of dietary fibre.

It is formulated into capsules, tablets and powdered supplements, alone or alongside other butyrate salts, and into feed and pet food where a butyrate source is specified.

The material is a white to off-white powder with a characteristic butyric odour; molecular formula C8H14MgO4, molecular weight 198.50. Magnesium content, butyrate content, loss on drying and pH are standardised to specification; magnesium is assayed by complexometric titration or ICP, butyrate by HPLC or gas chromatography, and heavy-metal and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies magnesium butyrate in bulk commercial quantities, in sealed food-grade bags and fibre drums, to manufacturers and formulators internationally, with a certificate of analysis, specification sheet and country-of-origin documentation on every lot. Butyrate salts are marketed as supplement and feed ingredients in major markets; buyers confirm the regulatory status, elemental-magnesium contribution and permitted level for their application.
