Tudca supports liver function as a whole, particularly bile FLOW, production and a number of other supportive functions that include the gallbladder's health. Ox bile assists in the break down of foods, particularly fatty acids which are essential to nutrient absorption. What is Ox Bile? Bile is a yellow-ish digestive fluid that lives in our gallbladder, but it is produced by the liver. Adequate bile production is critical for human health because bile helps our body digest and absorb the fat from our food in addition to fat-soluble vitamins, A, D, E, and K. After the liver makes bile, it is stored in the gallbladder and then released after we eat to help break down our food. Bile helps smooth out the digestive process by creating proper pH balance in our small intestine. In certain situations, bile supports the liver in removing excess cholesterol. Now, arguably, in some ways, even more important than digestion is the fact that bile helps our body remove toxins, metabolic waste, medications, bilirubin, and more. Bile binds to these fat-soluble toxins, which are then removed during a bowel movement. Ox bile, in particular, is the most common supplemental form of bile because it is so chemically similar to what our bodies naturally make. Therefore, there is no interference upon incorporation. It is recommend ox bile to people whose digestive system is not functioning properly because supplementing with bile can open the path for bile salts to flow the way they were intended to flow. The goal is to help to break down gallstones that are likely to develop. In these situations, it is also preventing damage and infections in the gut enhancing the removal of toxins. For many, this is a major step in restoring gut function. If inadequate bile production is left unaddressed, you may experience aggravating stomach issues, nutrient deficiencies, chronically high cholesterol despite a well-balanced diet, and sometimes even the inability to lose weight. In some cases, gallbladder removal is deemed appropriate. TUDCA: Tauroursodeoxycholic acid Tauroursodeoxycholic acid, more commonly referred to as TUDCA, is a bile salt that is found naturally occurring in the body. When regular bile salts reach the intestines, they can be metabolized by bacteria into UDCA and then later bound to a taurine molecule to become TUDCA. TUDCA is a water-soluble bile salt, which is in contrast to regular bile salts possessing both water soluble and fat soluble ends and conferring a detergent effect. This is good for the bile salt's biological purpose (emulsifying fats in the intestines to help with absorption) but when bile acids back up in the liver, a clinical state called cholestasis which occurs when the liver is unhealthy, these bile salts can be damaging to cells by destroying the membranes and signaling for cell death. TUDCA and other water soluble bile salts like UDCA compete with this toxicity and thus indirectly protect cells from death. Additionally, it seems that TUDCA is able to reduce stress to any cell's Endoplasmic Reticulum; an organelle in cells that serves as a highway from the nucleus out into the cytoplasm, and aids in folding proteins. Through reducing ER stress, TUDCA has been implicated in a wide range of beneficial metabolic effects such as reducing insulin resistance and diabetes, and being a neurological protection agent.
