I bought Butyrate when I came across a research note entitled: "Butyrate Improves Insulin Sensitivity and Increases Energy Expenditure in Mice" The research showed that when sodium butyrate was added to mice food those mice did not become insulin insensitive or obese even though fed a high fat diet. The control mice who did not get butyrate did. It's too early to tell if it is having that effect on me. But I did experience a little weight loss. It's too soon to know if it will continue. There were other seeming effects including improved sleep. I ran out and the effects stopped. When I was a young child I was so skinny that my parents were concerned that they would be accused of neglect. Then mysteriously I began gaining weight at about age 7 or 8. Eventually despite trying just about every diet that comes along, walking hundreds of miles on tracks and treadmills and lifting thousands of pounds of weights, I am morbidly obese. It occurred to me recently that the smell of the butyrate in these capsules is the same smell I remember from my childhood whenever I vomited. I have not smelled that smell for decades. I have to conclude that at an early, skinny age, there was a lot of butyrate in my system which is not there now. I don't know why that is. Perhaps at some point I was given an antibiotic that changed the bacteria in my system. I cannot think what else I might have been.
