TUDCA Sodium – Powder, 10g

What is Tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) Sodium?

Tauroursodeoxycholic acid sodium, more commonly referred to as TUDCA, is a bile salt that is naturally found in trace amounts in the human body. TUDCA is a water-soluble bile salt, possessing both water-soluble and fat-soluble ends and conferring a detergent effect. When bile acids back up in an unhealthy liver, a clinical state called cholestasis occurs, damaging cells by destroying the cell membranes. TUDCA and other water-soluble bile salts like UDCA act as detergents that compete with the toxicity of bile acids and thus indirectly protect cells from damage. Additionally, some studies have shown that TUDCA is able to reduce stress in a cell’s endoplasmic reticulum; an organelle in cells that serves as a highway from the nucleus out into the cytoplasm, and aids in folding proteins. Through reducing ER stress, TUDCA has been implicated in a wide range of beneficial metabolic effects such as glucose metabolism and acting as a neurological protection agent. However, research into this mechanism of TUDCA is preliminary, compared to the well-known benefits of TUDCA to liver and digestive tract health.

Studies have shown that Tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) may have the following benefits:

• Supports against bile acid-induced cell damage and death

Further Information on Tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA)

Chinese medicine has used animal bile for hundreds of years as a medicine to treat illnesses. It was used to relieve spasms, reduce fever, and improve visual acuity. Bile is naturally synthesized via cholesterol, consisting of compounds including taurochenodeoxycholic acid, ursodeoxycholic acid, and chenodeoxycholic acid. UDCA and TUDCA were first synthetically developed in 1954 in Japan. Ongoing research is finding TUDCA has diminishing apoptotic effects with potential applications in cardiovascular and brain health. TUDCA may protect the eyes. You can learn more about TUDCA here.
