                                Over 70% of the colon's energy needs are met by butyrate, a crucial short-chain fatty acid. When it comes to supplementation, a common question is, "Should I take butyrate on an empty stomach?" The optimal timing depends largely on the specific form of butyrate, personal tolerance, and your health goals.
