- WHO IS THIS PRODUCT FOR? This product is for anyone who can benefit by overall liver support, from competitive athletes to those who are looking to improve their daily quality of life.
- WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS? Improved bile flow of the liver can be seen within days of taking TUDCA, and a couple weeks of use can start to positively impact liver enzyme values and improve overall health of the liver. TUDCA is generally used for at least 4 weeks to as long as 6 months of continuous use.

TUDCA - HOW DOES IT WORK?
TUDCA is a hydrophillic bile acid produced naturally and synthetically. It is UDCA (An FDA approved drug in the United states for the treatment of liver cirrhosis) with a taurine molecule attached which improves bioavailability.
-How does TUDCA protect against cholestasis of the liver?
Cholestasis is the accumulation of hydrophobic bile acids in the liver. Introducing TUDCA will cause hydrophobic bile acids in the liver to compete antagonistically with the hydrophillic bile acid TUDCA.
-Other benefits?
Aids in digestion of fats, vitamins, proteins, and carbohydrates. Prevents cell death by inhibition of protein unfolding in the endoplasmic reticulum.
Has shown promise in increasing insulin sensitivity in skeletal muscle and liver by enhancing protein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum.
-Is it safe?
Studies demonstrate use of 1500 mg TUDCA daily for 6 months without any adverse effects.
