Butycaps Zinc
A microencapsulated butyrate triglyceride and zinc supplement formulated to support intestinal barrier function, balance the gut microbiome, and help restore normal transit after episodes of loose stools.
Key benefits
Slow-release butyrate — microencapsulation delivers short-chain fatty acids along the full length of the large intestine, where they're needed most
Intestinal barrier support — butyrate is the primary energy source for the cells that line your colon
Microbiome balance — supports the conditions that beneficial gut bacteria need to thrive
Diarrhea recovery — formulated for use during acute and persistent loose-stool episodes
Zinc included — added at 2 mg per capsule to support intestinal mucosal repair
What Butycaps Zinc does
Butycaps Zinc is a daily-use capsule designed for people recovering from acute or persistent diarrhea, or anyone supporting their long-term gut barrier health. The active compound, butyrate, is a short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) that your gut bacteria normally produce by fermenting dietary fiber. When the microbiome is disrupted — by antibiotics, illness, stress, or diet — butyrate production drops, and the cells lining your colon lose their primary fuel source.
This supplement provides butyrate directly, in a microencapsulated triglyceride form that bypasses the small intestine and releases gradually through the colon.
Why microencapsulated butyrate matters
Standard butyrate is absorbed too quickly in the upper digestive tract and never reaches the colon, where it does most of its work. Microencapsulation creates a protective coating that allows the butyrate to travel further down your digestive system before being released. The result: a slower, more even distribution where colonic cells can actually use it.
The added zinc gluconate supports the rebuilding of the intestinal mucosa — particularly relevant during recovery from diarrhea, when zinc loss can be significant.
What's in each capsule
Active ingredientAmount per capsuleMicroencapsulated butyrate triglyceride105 mgZinc (as zinc gluconate)2 mg
How to take Butycaps Zinc
Take 1 to 3 capsules per day, with or without food. For acute episodes, 3 capsules per day is appropriate. For ongoing intestinal barrier support, 1 capsule per day is typical.
Do not exceed 3 capsules in a 24-hour period.
Who it's for
People recovering from acute diarrhea, food-related GI upset, or post-antibiotic gut disruption
Those managing chronic loose-stool conditions under clinician guidance
Anyone supporting their gut barrier function as part of a broader microbiome protocol

What is butyrate, and why do I need a supplement for it? Butyrate is a short-chain fatty acid produced when gut bacteria ferment dietary fiber. It's the primary energy source for the cells that line your colon. When your microbiome is disrupted, butyrate production drops — and a supplement can help bridge the gap while your gut bacteria recover.
How is microencapsulated butyrate different from regular butyrate? Microencapsulation coats the butyrate so it survives the upper digestive tract and releases gradually in the large intestine, where it has the most benefit. Standard butyrate is absorbed too quickly and never reaches the colon.
Can I take Butycaps Zinc while on antibiotics? Yes — many people use it during and after antibiotic courses to support the gut barrier while the microbiome recovers. As always, talk to your clinician about your specific situation.
How quickly will I notice a difference? For acute loose-stool episodes, many people notice improvement within a few days. For long-term gut barrier support, the benefits build gradually over several weeks.
Is this a substitute for a balanced diet? No. Food supplements work alongside a balanced diet, not in place of one. Butycaps Zinc is most effective when paired with a fiber-rich diet that supports your gut bacteria's natural butyrate production.
Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced and varied diet and a healthy lifestyle. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Keep out of reach of young children.
Store in a cool, dry place at room temperature.
