TUDCA (Tauroursodeoxycholic Acid) Supplement
Liver Wellness and Beyond: The Cellular Advantage
TUDCA supports digestive ability by supporting healthy fat metabolism and breakdown as well as proper nutrient absorption. It is also supportive to cellular and mitochondrial health.
However, the human body only produces small amounts of TUDCA (or tauroursodeoxycholic acid). In a healthy person, digestion re-circulates some 95% of the body’s bile salts. Poor diet, decreased liver function, and certain medications can impair this process. This is where supplementation is key.
Quality matters. We don’t use fillers or additives. There is no way to achieve the powerful benefits of Tudca without strict internal and external quality control. The raw materials of BodyBio Tudca undergo extensive testing for the presence of mold prior to encapsulation. BodyBio’s Tudca supplement is free of wheat, gluten, yeast, soy, dairy, artificial colors, and resins.

What is TUDCA?
TUDCA (or tauroursodeoxycholic acid) is a supporting bile acid integral to the digestion of fats/oils and detoxification of the gut and liver*. At the cellular level, TUDCA transports helpful molecules into the cell and helps to protect from cell degradation and apoptosis.* It also assists in clearing cellular debris from the mitochondria and cell membrane.* In the microbiome, it improves gut bacteria diversity. It has also been shown to support eye health.*
What To Expect When You Start Taking TUDCA (Tauroursodeoxycholic Acid) Supplement supplements
0-2 Weeks
Supports intracellular cholesterol (which you cannot feel but it’s good to know)! Aids in digesting fats and helps support healthy bile flow.* You may notice that taking after high fat meals helps with digestion.
2-4 Weeks
Supports insulin sensitivity, increased liver function, & promotes the growth of healthy bacteria in the microbiome for decreased inflammation.*
4 Weeks+
Brain support – TUDCA works as a “chaperone” to interrupt protein misfolding to overcome neurological concerns.*
Frequently Asked Questions
Is TUDCA the same as Tauroursodeoxycholic Acid?
Yes.
When is the best time to take TUDCA?
If you’re wondering about when to take TUDCA, we recommend one to three times daily with meals. It may be taken with or without food. We recommend taking it with food to support absorption. If your gallbladder has been removed, taking it with food may aid in digestion. Research shows TUDCA's benefits occur anywhere from one to six months of daily use.
What's the suggested TUDCA dosage?
The suggested dosage is take 2 capsules per day or use as directed by your Healthcare Professional. 1750 mg is the tolerable upper limit for most and can be used as a therapeutic dose for as long as one month. TUDCA is suitable for those without a gallbladder.
Does TUDCA have any side effects?
TUDCA supplements are generally considered safe when taken in the recommended amounts. Some have experienced diarrhea when taking more than 1500 mg daily, which is not recommended. There are no other reported TUDCA side effects.
Can you take TUDCA if you do not have a gallbladder?
Yes.
How long does TUDCA take to work?
Research shows TUDCA's benefits occur anywhere from one to six months of daily use.
Is this TUDCA sourced from bear or bull bile?
BodyBio's TUDCA is not derived from bear bile, bull bile, or the bile of other animals.
