I take cal-mag butyrate with every meal. I am also taking Seriphos at 10:00 a.m., 2:00 and 10:00 p.m. I started with the Seriphos first and saw a little improvement, but it really kicked in when I added the cal-mag butyrate. (FWIW, I have been using calcium and/or magnesium for years without seeing any real improvement in sleep) I assumed that the sleep improvement was a cumulative effect of the Seriphos over time, but as I read more about butyrate, I found that people are using it to treat sleep disorders in autistic children. The gut flora, apparently, plays a role in GABA breaching the blood/brain barrier.
I am taking the Seriphos to address high cortisol. I am also avoiding grains, dairy, and sweeteners (caloric and otherwise).
