Gut bacteria make it in the colon by fermenting fibre. Here it comes as sodium butyrate, 250 mg per softgel, inside an enteric softgel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNon-medicinal ingredients: sorbitol, glycerin, konjac glucomannan, xanthan gum, beeswax, pectin, medium chain triglycerides, lecithin, water, gelatin and sodium alginate. Because the shell uses gelatin, these softgels are not suitable for vegetarians. They are non-GMO and gluten-free. Expect a slight odour when you open a packet; the label says this is normal and that keeping the box in the fridge can tone it down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhich packet size?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the larger of the two UniqueRelief IBS boxes. Each packet holds 4 softgels, 1000 mg, and the label dose is one packet a day, so 30 packets last a month. The 500 mg box holds 2 softgels per packet with a dose of 1 to 2 packets a day.
