TUDCA is the new star in the world of functional medicine and is rapidly advancing as a leader among supplements due to its many benefits including brain health, liver health, mitochondria and cellular support.
 

Tauroursodeoxycholic acid, or TUDCA, is a bile acid derivative that occurs naturally in the body. It has been used therapeutically in traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years for liver and biliary disorders. The human body only produces small amounts of this healthy compound in its body, but this bile salt actually affects many bodily functions, from the brain to the kidneys to eye health and more.
 

Traditional Chinese physicians have known about the benefits of TUDCA for centuries, prescribing it to help detoxify the liver, treat "heat ailments" such as fever, spasms, and vision problems, and to improve many other conditions. But it has only recently come into the scientific spotlight, becoming the subject of recent clinical trials as scientists explore its many potential health benefits.

 

What is the role of TUDCA in the body?
 

Like many compounds in our body, TUDCA is produced by a microbial process.

First, bile salts are released into the intestine through the bile duct of the liver. Microbes in the colon then metabolize the bile salts into ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA). It is then conjugated with a taurine molecule to create TUDCA. This whole process happens naturally in our body and is maintained when we have a healthy amount of bile salts.

A healthy person produces very small amounts of TUDCA, recycling about 95% of their bile salts through the enterohepatic circulation – when bile is absorbed through the gut and returned to the liver via the hepatic portal vein. However, poor diet, reduced liver function and certain medications can disrupt this process.

 

The benefits of TUDCA
 

Bile plays many roles in the body. From aiding digestion to maximizing vitamin absorption or eliminating waste, bile acids support a wide range of functions.

TUDCA is a bile acid that does its job extremely well. Although humans only produce a small amount of it, TUDCA has various advantages and benefits for overall health, including:

 

• Brain function

• Liver health

• Kidney health

• Eye health

• Cellular health

• The gut microbiome

• Bile flow

• Powerful antiviral properties

 

TUDCA supplements
 

Since our body produces an extremely small amount of TUDCA, it is recommended that it be taken in the form of a dietary supplement, especially when you want to take advantage of its maximum potential.

You may want to consider adding TUDCA to your diet when you have digestive issues, especially fat. In addition, this powerful nutritional supplement can help with liver problems and is especially good before drinking alcohol. Last but not least, TUDCA can have an extraordinary effect on eye, nervous system and brain health.
