EAST SETAUKET, NY.   — NutraShure Distribution, LLC., an ingredient supplier and distributor in the dietary supplement and functional food and beverage spaces, has launched Biomend.

The Biomend ingredient is a form of butyrate, a four-carbon short-chain fatty acid that naturally occurs in certain foods and produced by gut bacteria during the fermentation of dietary fiber, according to the company.

Biomend offers consumers a ready-to-mix, tasteless, drinkable option.

It contains L-lysine butyrate enabling it to be completely soluble in a liquid format.

The product also may help aid in gut health and offer immunity benefits.

“Addressing the palatability challenges associated with the commercially available butyrate and butyrate prodrugs currently on the market, the development of Biomend represents a significant accomplishment for our team,” said Brandon Sojka, chief executive officer of NutraShure and co-inventor of Biomend . “As a research scientist and a business owner, delivering a game-changing ingredient to the market is a career-long aspiration, which is now a reality.”
