full description
What is TUDCA?
TUDCA (or tauroursodeoxycholic acid) is a supporting bile acid integral to the digestion of fats/oils and detoxification of the gut and liver*. At the cellular level, TUDCA transports helpful molecules into the cell and helps to protect from cell degradation and apoptosis*. It also assists in clearing cellular debris from the mitochondria and cell membrane*. In the microbiome, it improves gut bacteria diversity. It has also been shown to support eye health*.
How to Improve Fat Digestion and Absorption
While fat has been villainized in the past, fat digestion is actually a very important bodily function. Still, many people suffer from an inability to absorb fat properly. Let’s look a little closer at fat digestion, fat absorption, and symptoms and causes of fat malabsorption.
Benefits of TUDCA
Digestive Support
TUDCA provides digestive support for those who may not be producing enough bile on their own.* Bile in the small intestine is very important for the digestion and absorption of fats and nutrients from the foods you eat. Bile also breaks down foods, cholesterol, and destroys some harmful bacteria.
Brain Health
TUDCA acts as a mitochondria stabilizer, and antiapoptotic agent (inhibiting apoptosis) in neurodegenerative disease including, Alzheimers, Parkinson’s, ALS, and Huntington’s Disease due to its neuroprotective benefits*.
