Yes, please swallow the capsules whole. Aliness Sodium Butyrate is in the form of enteric microcapsules, so the capsule is designed to reach the intestines and release the active ingredient - butyric acid there.
By opening the capsules and swallowing only their contents, you lead to a situation where some of the active substance settles in the throat and oesophagus for some time. It is also exposed to hydrochloric acid from the stomach and digestive enzymes for longer. It follows that such a procedure may affect the absorption and effective action of the preparation.
