First of all, what is ghee?

Basically it's something called clarified butter, which you're heating butter and you're

separating out the solids, the proteins from the butter.

So you're left with this pure oil, and that's what ghee is.

It has great benefits for your colon because it's loaded with something called butyrate or

butyric acid.

In fact, he has the highest concentration of butyrate than any other food, including butter.

Now in other videos, I talked about microbes actually making butyrate from fiber.

But here's the thing, if you have colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, some bowel problem

damaged your colon, the capacity to make and absorb butyrate goes way down.

This is why taking ghee could be very beneficial to people with a GI problem.

prefer butyrate as their primary fuel source.

He also has omega-3 fatty acids, omega-9 fatty acids, which are healthy fats, MCT fat.
