Composition and Characteristics of this TUDCA Supplement
What is bile?
Bile is a biological fluid produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder before being released into the digestive tract during meals.
It is composed mainly of bile acids, phospholipids and cholesterol.
Bile plays a role in the digestion of dietary fats and contributes to the normal absorption of fat-soluble nutrients as part of the digestive process.*
It is also involved in the natural elimination processes of certain compounds processed by the liver.*
4 key ingredients supporting liver and digestive function*
Our formula combines four complementary ingredients commonly used in formulations designed to support liver function and digestive wellness:
-
TUDCA: TUDCA (tauroursodeoxycholic acid) is a bile acid naturally present in small amounts in the body. It is involved in normal bile composition and is commonly included in supplements designed to support liver and digestive function.*
-
Taurine: taurine is an amino acid derivative involved in normal physiological processes, including those related to bile acid conjugation and digestive balance.*
-
Choline bitartrate: choline contributes to normal lipid metabolism and helps maintain normal liver function.* It is also involved in the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine, a component of cell membranes.
-
Artichoke extract: artichoke is traditionally used in herbal practices to support digestion and overall digestive comfort.*
