TUDCA (tauroursodeoxycholic acid) is a bile acid that protects liver cells, improves bile composition, and helps manage liver overload caused by stress, oral steroids, or high-fat diets.
Who may benefit from TUDCA?
✔ If you experience bloating or heaviness after meals, especially fatty foods — TUDCA improves bile quality, aiding fat digestion.✔ If your liver enzymes (ALT/AST) are elevated — TUDCA protects liver cells and supports the return to normal enzyme levels.
✔ If you want to improve insulin sensitivity and IGF-1 levels — TUDCA supports liver function in glucose regulation and IGF-1 production in response to growth hormone.
✔ If you follow a high-calorie or high-fat diet — TUDCA helps the liver cope with increased stress, especially during high protein intake or ketogenic diets.
How to take TUDCA?
Recommended dosage:- 1 capsule daily for general liver support
- 2–3 capsules per day if ALT/AST are elevated or during PED use
Duration of use: Use in cycles during high stress or heavy supplementation periods, or continuously for ongoing liver support.
How TUDCA works?
TUDCA improves bile composition and fluidity, preventing bile thickening and stagnation — essential for proper digestion and avoiding inflammation or gallstones. This is particularly useful for those on high-fat diets, PED use, or under chronic stress. It also helps the liver process cholesterol, supporting gallbladder function and fat metabolism.At the cellular level, TUDCA protects mitochondria — the energy centers of cells — and aids in ammonia clearance, which, when accumulated, is toxic and hinders recovery. By supporting the gut-liver axis, TUDCA helps reduce inflammation and promote overall wellness.
