TUDCA for Liver Health

It’s no secret that our liver is one of the vital organs that contribute to our daily health. It plays a role in helping us digest the food we consume, absorbing all the good nutrients and filtering toxins from our blood. And that’s only a sneak peek into the many contributions that the liver is responsible for. With over 500 functions, the liver is definitely not an organ to be underestimated.

As we grow older, the conversations around health become more frequent. While genetics can somewhat determine our liver health, poor diet and environmental factors can also play a role. This includes exposure to toxins from household cleaning supplies and pesticides from our produce, as well as a diet high in alcohol, sugar and saturated fats. Keeping our liver healthy helps ensure it can continue to carry out all of its important duties.

One of the liver’s primary jobs is to produce bile salts. One of these conjugated bile salts is called tauroursodeoxycholic acid, or TUDCA. As a bile salt, TUDCA helps improve the composition of the bile produced in the liver, making it more effective at digesting fats, which helps us absorb fat-soluble vitamins more efficiently. This improved bile composition also helps us maintain healthy cholesterol levels as it breaks down and removes excess cholesterol from the body. It also thins the bile out, which improves motility, prevents toxins and bile from building up in the liver, and reduces potential gallstone formation.

While our liver produces TUDCA, supporting its supply through supplementation in your daily routine can help ensure the liver can continue to work efficiently and effectively. TUDCA has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries. For individuals who are looking to optimize their liver health, particularly those with a fatty liver or who have had gallstones removed, TUDCA is a great option that is safe for daily use. Speak to your trusted healthcare provider to find out if TUDCA is the right choice for you.

CanPrev’s TUDCA is combined with 250mg of TUDCA and 75mg of choline bitartrate. Choline is an essential nutrient for removing cholesterol from the liver, aiding in fat reduction. The two work together to help support liver function.

Our bodies are constantly working around the clock to ensure that our health is in its optimal condition. But it’s also important that we help prevent our organs from being overloaded by taking our daily habits into consideration. Through a healthy diet, lifestyle and the support of supplements, we can continue to support our health in many ways. Take the next step in liver health by adding TUDCA to your daily nutrition.
