Tributyrin is a triglyceride containing three butyrate molecules esterified to glycerol, which augments butyrate concentrations after hydrolyzation by pancreatic lipases.

Characteristics of Tributyrin

The new generation of a butyrate-glycerol ester of butyric acid. 
100% bypass stomach. 
Delivering butyric acids into the small intestine, no need to be coated. 
Naturally, be found in milk and honey.

Comparison Between Tributyrin & Butyrate Salt

The half-life of butyric acid is 6 minutes. Butyrate is difficult to reach other tissues and organs outside the intestine administered in the form of butyric acid or butyrate. However the half-life of tributyrin is 40min, and the plasma concentration of butyrate can be maintained above 0.1mM for 0.5-4h by oral.
