Liver Support and Detoxification: TUDCA helps clear out bile ducts, support bile flow, and lower elevated liver enzymes associated with cholestasis or stress. It is frequently used by individuals looking to cleanse or protect the liver from dietary or metabolic strain.
Metabolic Support: Preliminary studies suggest it may help improve insulin resistance and support glucose processing, though evidence in humans remains preliminary.
Digestion and Fat Breakdown: As a bile salt derivative, it assists the body in processing and breaking down dietary fats.
Cellular and Anti-Apoptotic Protection: TUDCA acts as an anti-apoptotic agent, meaning it helps prevent programmed cell death. Research explores its protective role in neurodegenerative conditions (such as ALS, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's).
