Butyrate (i.e. Butter, Greek βούτυρος) is Important

Butyrate Is The Most Important Colon Nutrient

Butyrate is one of the main nutrients used by cells that line the colon (last meter of your gastrointestinal track). If one is low here, they can easily supplement Butyrate, which is available from most health food stores [why not just eat butter?]. Butyrate synthesis can be inhibited by H2S and Sulfites.
