Sodium Butyrate Powder

Sodium Butyrate Powder – Premium Feed & Nutraceutical Grade from Avans NutriHealth

Avans NutriHealth Co., Ltd. supplies pharmaceutical and feed-grade Sodium Butyrate Powder manufactured through advanced crystallization processes at our Qingdao facility. Our product demonstrates assay purity exceeding 98.0% (anhydrous basis) and complies with FSSC22000 standards. This white crystalline powder serves as a short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) supplement critical for intestinal epithelial cell energy metabolism. With strict heavy metal control (Pb ≤ 2ppm, As ≤ 1ppm) and moisture content below 3.0%, our formulation withstands steam pelleting temperatures above 250°C, ensuring thermal stability during feed processing. Backed by our group enterprise structure and integrated quality systems, we deliver consistent batch-to-batch reliability for formulators worldwide.

What is Sodium Butyrate and Why It Matters?

Sodium butyrate represents the sodium salt of butyric acid, a four-carbon short-chain fatty acid naturally produced during microbial fermentation in the gut. It functions as the primary fuel source for colonocytes, the cells lining the intestinal wall.

This compound plays a vital role in maintaining mucosal integrity and supporting healthy inflammatory responses. In animal nutrition, it serves as a proven non-antibiotic growth promoter alternative. For human applications, it addresses dietary management needs in digestive wellness formulations.

The powder form offers exceptional versatility for incorporation into capsules, sachets, and premix blends. Its hygroscopic nature requires proper storage protocols, which our technical team can guide you through.

Applications Across Multiple Industries

Animal Nutrition & Feed Industry 

Our product improves villus height and crypt depth in intestinal architecture in intensive livestock farming. This directly enhances the Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) in swine and poultry production. Even when there is pathogenic pressure from E. coli or Salmonella, the ingredient still works.

Aquaculture specialists use it in prawn and fish diets to enhance immune enzyme activity. It is especially useful in recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) where gut barrier function is challenged by environmental stressors . Accurate inclusion rates enable a homogenous distribution in pelleted feeds.

Human Nutraceutical Formulations

Formulators use our component in digestive health supplements in enteric-coated capsules. It supports the diet management protocols for those seeking solutions to gut wellness. The high purity grade conforms to pharmaceutical excipient standards for clinical nutrition applications.

Pharmaceutical Excipients

The substance is used as a functional excipient in particular medicinal formulations. The regular distribution of particle size ensures consistent mixing in tablet matrices. The consistent quality supports regulatory documentation needs.

Key Performance Advantages

Thermal Stability: Compound maintains activity through steam pelleting and extrusion due to our manufacturing technique. You can safely use it in high-temperature feed production processes without worrying about degradation.

High Purity Standard: 98%+ assay values give you the most active ingredient per kg. This leads to higher inclusion rates and better cost efficiencies in your formulations.

Controlled Release Options: Our standard Sodium Butyrate Powder is immediately soluble but we can discuss matrix-coating technologies for slow-release applications. This may ensure delivery to the hindgut or colon rather than premature upper GI absorption.

Batch Consistency: Our in-house quality control system ensures specifications remain consistent from one batch to the next. That reliability makes your validation and regulatory filings easier.

Packaging & Storage Recommendations

Standard package designs include 25 kg fibre drums with inner polyethylene liners. This protects the hygroscopic powder from moisture absorption during shipping and storage.  Packaging in custom sizes to meet your specific handling needs.

Keep in a cool, dry place below 25°C, relative humidity below 60%. Store in tightly closed containers when not in use. Product is stable for 24 months from date of manufacture when stored properly.

Our logistics team is working on how to load containers to minimise temperature changes. We provide multi-language handling guidelines to assure correct warehouse protocols at you site.

Quality Assurance & Certifications

Each batch is tested strictly in our Qingdao laboratory before export. We will provide you with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting conformance to your specified parameters. Our facility is FSSC22000 certified, reflecting our dedication to food safety management.

Halal certification caters to the needs of a wide variety of markets. BP and CP grade options are available to meet pharmaceutical formulation needs. Heavy metal screening is done according to international safety limits to protect end consumers.

Our notion of quality is derived from traceability from the source of raw materials to the final packaging. You get full paperwork to back up your due diligence and supplier chain audits.

FAQ

Q: What differentiates your sodium butyrate from competitors?

A: We have a group production structure that assures stable supply and competitive price. The stability of the thermal profile is specific to feed pelleting procedures and the purity levels are in the pharmaceutical standards for nutraceutical uses.

Q: Can you provide small sample quantities for testing?

A: Yes, we do have sample packs from 500g to 1kg for formulation experiments. Our technical team is ready to talk about your testing parameters and timeline requirements.

Q: What are the lead times for bulk orders?

A: We have stock on hand now for normal quantities, ready to ship! Custom specs are normally 2-3 week wait times based on order volume.

Q: Do you offer technical support for formulation development?

A: Our experienced R&D team can provide recommendations on inclusion rates and compatibility. We support stability testing methodologies and the required regulatory documents.

Q: Is this product organic certified?

A: Our standard grade is not organically certified. When you ask, tell us your certification needs so we can see if it is feasible for your application.
