Studies link low magnesium intake with a higher risk for depression. Butyric acid is a short chain (C4) carboxylate with several industrial uses. One of the major applications of butyrate is to retard bacterial growth, and thus protect products from spoilage. Other common uses include:
• Preservative
• Feed additive
• Organic magnesium source
• catalyst
• Detox agent
• Mold inhibitor
