Magnesium butyrate is a salt of magnesium and n-butyric (n-butanoic) acid. On one hand, magnesium plays an important role in regulating the body’s response to stress. Studies link low magnesium intake with a higher risk for depression. Butyric acid is a short chain (C4) alkanoate with several industrial and pharmaceutical uses. One of the major applications of butyrate is to retard bacterial growth, and thus protect cosmetic products from spoilage. Other common uses include:
• Preservative
• Feed additive
• Organic magnesium source
• catalyst
• Detox agent
• Mold inhibitor
