TUDCA is a bile acid naturally formed in the body that supports the digestion and utilization of fats and oils and demonstrates neuro-protective benefits.
TUDCA supports digestive ability by supporting healthy fat metabolism and breakdown as well as proper nutrient absorption. It is also supportive to cellular and mitochondrial health. However, the human body only produces small amounts of TUDCA (or tauroursodeoxycholic acid). In a healthy person, digestion re-circulates some 95% of the body’s bile salts. But poor diet, decreased liver function, and certain medications can impair this process. This is where supplementation is key.
Benefits:
• Support the digestion of fats and oils* • Promote a healthy microbiome with healthy biodiversity • Support a healthy inflammation response in the GI tract • Help reduce cellular stress & protect DNA • Works with other bile salts to prevent premature cell death (apoptosis) • May provide neuro-protective benefits
TUDCA can help reduce intestinal inflammation by increasing the levels of tight junction molecules and the solid chemical barrier.
TUDCA can help restore the function of the intestinal mucosa and damaged physical barrier.
TUDCA can help with digestion and bowel movements.
TUDCA is also used to treat cholestasis, a condition where bile doesn't flow from the liver to the duodenum.
