What is TUDCA (tauroursodeoxycholic acid)?

TUDCA is a derivative compound of bile acid that is found naturally in the human body. It is formed by a special microbial process that begins with the release of bile salts into the intestine through the bile duct of the liver. In the colon, microbes metabolize bile salts into ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), which is then conjugated with taurine to form TUDCA. This process occurs naturally and is intended to maintain the normal amount of bile salts in the body.

Normally, a healthy person produces very small amounts of TUDCA, recycling about 95% of bile salts through the enterohepatic circulation (when bile is absorbed into the intestine and returned to the liver). However, certain factors such as poor diet, reduced liver function and certain medications can disrupt this process.

Despite the fact that humans produce small amounts of TUDCA, this bile salt plays an important role in many bodily functions, from brain and kidney function to eye health and more. Taking TUDCA in the form of a dietary supplement can be helpful in maintaining the body's overall health.

The role of TUDCA in the human body

TUDCA has important functions in the body as it represents bile acid. Bile is a complex fluid containing bile acids that are responsible for carrying out some key processes in the body. They help the body break down and absorb the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K. In addition, bile acids have the role of breaking down food and cholesterol, as well as destroying harmful pathogens that get into the digestive system. Through these processes, bile plays an important role in eliminating waste, reducing unnecessary cholesterol, and regulating metabolism.

The liver is responsible for producing bile, which is stored in the gallbladder and sent into the digestive system through the duodenum. The bile then travels through the digestive system and back to the liver. Only 5% of it is excreted and the rest is recycled and reused.

This process of recycling and producing new bile is energy intensive for the body. When the liver and gallbladder are overloaded, creating new bile becomes more difficult. This is where nutritional supplements such as TUDCA / TUDKA by Herbamedic come to the rescue. They can support this process by supplying the body with the necessary amount of tauroursodeoxycholic acid.

TUDCA in the form of a food supplement

Tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) is not a new dietary supplement. It has been known as a therapeutic agent in traditional Chinese medicine for millennia. This chemical has been extracted from the bile of bears and used mainly in the treatment of liver and bile diseases. In China, healers apply TUDCA to help detoxify the liver, treat fevers, relieve cramps, vision problems, and to improve many other conditions.

Nowadays, the production of TUDCA as a dietary supplement is done by chemical synthesis, which is derived from ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA). This method makes it possible to obtain a more pure and stable form of TUDCA, which is used for its impressive health benefits.

• Support bile flow - TUDCA increases bile flow by up to 250% and aids digestion.

How to increase TUDCA levels in the body?

The human body naturally produces small amounts of TUDCA, but certain factors can slow down this process, including:

• Microbiome dysbiosis caused by parasites, harmful bacteria, or yeast overgrowth
• Stress on the liver due to excess free radicals and lack of antioxidants in the body
• Systemic inflammatory processes
• Dysregulation of the nervous system due to chronic stress
• Gallbladder function problems Chronic diseases affecting the liver, kidneys, brain and intestines.

When the liver is struggling to produce enough bile salts to aid in digestion and detoxification of the body, supplementation is advisable. TUDCA / TUDKA from Herbamedica may offer the following health benefits:

• Aid digestion, especially the digestion of fats.
• Detoxification and support of liver health.
• Maintaining insulin sensitivity.
• Protection of vision.
• Neuroprotective effects for brain health.
• Maintenance of key cellular processes including apoptosis.
• Supporting the health of the microbiome.
• Improving overall health at the cellular level.
