STRENGTHS & GRADES
Sodium Propionate is the sodium salt form of propionic acid, a short chain
fatty acid (SCFA) and food additive, with potential gastrointestinal (GI)
protective activity. Upon oral administration of sodium propionate,
it converts to propionic acid which may protect the GI tract and reduce incidence
and severity of GI toxicity from radiation therapy.
