Who is Medera Nutrition?

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.

What is ButyEra?

ButyEra is the brand name for a range of products developed by Medera Nutrition, using cutting-edge R&D and entirely vegan butyrate. These products are specifically formulated to support digestive health for both adults and children, with various product options to cater to different needs. As an effective post-biotic, ButyEra provides targeted Post-Biotic Support that promotes a healthy gut environment. Whether you're looking for general Post-Biotic Care or support for specific digestive challenges, Medera Nutrition ensures that all ButyEra products are created with the highest quality standards—offering safe and effective solutions for overall health and well-being.

What are the features of ButyEra?

ButyEra products are vegan, and gluten-free, containing no animal-derived ingredients or GMOs. They are free from artificial colorants, flavors, and sweeteners, ensuring a pure and clean formulation. ButyEra offers a high-quality solution for digestive health. Additionally, all products are certified by Eurofins Scientific, ensuring they meet rigorous quality and safety standards.

What forms of butyrates does Medera Nutrition produce?

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.

Which ButyEra products are available for adults?

Medera Nutrition offers three distinct ButyEra products for adults, each catering to different preferences and needs:

  • ButyEra Capsule-Format: ButyEra Capsule-Format: This convenient option provides 900 mg of butyrate per daily serving (two capsules), with 60 capsules per bottle. The capsules are made using DRcaps® technology, ensuring controlled release in the intestine for enhanced efficacy.

  • ButyEra Powder Food (Granulated Sachet): This format offers 450 mg of butyrate per sachet, making it easy to mix with water for quick and controlled dosages, particularly for those who have difficulty swallowing pills.

  • ButyEra Powder (15 kg Package): Designed for large-scale manufacturers and retailers, this bulk powder option provides flexibility for developing tailored functional foods and supplements.

These products provide manufacturers and retailers with versatile solutions to meet their specific goals in promoting adult wellness. For more information, please visit the ButyEra for Adults page.

What is DRcaps®?

DRcaps® are specialized capsules used in the ButyEra Capsule-Format for adults. These capsules are made from gastric acid-resistant vegetable cellulose (HPMC) and utilize Lonza DRcaps Technology. This ensures that the butyrate is released in the intestine, bypassing stomach acids for more effective absorption. DRcaps® technology enhances the product's efficacy by ensuring controlled release, providing optimal digestive support.

What ButyEra products are available for kids?

Medera Nutrition offers three ButyEra products for kids, specially formulated to support their sensitive digestive system:

What is intestinal butyrate?

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.

What are the benefits of intestinal butyrate?

The benefits of intestinal butyrate are numerous:

  • Strengthens the intestinal lining: Butyrate supports the gut barrier, reducing the risk of harmful substances entering the bloodstream and preventing digestive disorders such as leaky gut.

  • Supports gut health: It serves as the primary energy source for colon cells, aiding in tissue repair and overall gut function.

  • Enhances immune system function: By promoting the activity of microbiome clusters, butyrate helps regulate immune responses and strengthens the body’s natural defense mechanisms.

  • Reduces inflammation: Butyrate has anti-inflammatory properties, helping to maintain a balanced and healthy gut environment.

What is the GLP-1 hormone and why is it important?

GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1) is a hormone released by the gut that plays a key role in appetite regulation and blood sugar control. After eating, GLP-1 levels naturally increase, helping you feel full, slowing down stomach emptying, and supporting insulin secretion to keep blood sugar levels balanced. Supporting your gut health may naturally encourage the production of GLP-1, which is why a healthy gut can positively influence appetite and metabolic health.

Why should we consume butyrate?

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.

When does butyrate start to show effects?

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.

Can butyrate be used with other medications?

Butyrate supplements, which support digestive health, can generally be used alongside medications and other dietary supplements. However, it is always important to consult with a healthcare professional before combining butyrate with any prescription medication or treatment. This ensures there are no potential interactions and that the combination is safe for your specific health needs. Regular monitoring is also recommended when taking multiple supplements or medications together.
