Health recommendations of natural bile acids
Digestion support
One of the most important functions of bile acids is to break down fats, dispersing oil and grease into tiny particles.
They also activate lipase, a fat-breaking enzyme that speeds up the decomposition and absorption of fats / oils in the body.
Consequently, if an insufficient amount of bile acid is secreted into the duodenum, that is, if we do not assist the emptying of the bile (bladder) by sufficient fat, digestion will be imperfect, affecting not only the digestion of fats but also proteins and carbohydrates, since the digestive fluids from the pancreas are mixed to the food...
In case of gallstones
One of the most important elements in preventing gallstones is to ensure the liver produces enough bile and to help the release of bile. The thinner the bile, the easier it empties from the gallbladder. It is important to maintain a nutritious, balanced diet. For breakfast, it is advisable to eat soft-boiled eggs, bacon and toast with butter, all of which "call upon" the gallbladder and help empty the bile produced during the night....
In case of gallstone surgery
After the surgical removal of the gallbladder, our body is no longer able to store the bile produced as bile surgery involves the removal of the gallbladder. As a result, bile is constantly dripping into the duodenum and when in higher demand (e.g. overeating and / or consuming food with high fat content) it may not be produced in sufficient volume required for a balanced digestion. Fats do not emulsify...
In case of high cholesterol
According to cholesterol charity Heart UK six out of every 10 people in Britain have raised or abnormal levels of cholesterol in their blood but many don’t realise it as there are no outward signs....
In case of bowel disease
Proper liver function, biliary production, bile circulation (enterohepatic cycle) can prevent these bowel diseases. If bile circulation is inadequate or damaged for any reason, supplementing bile acids can help alleviate the symptoms of these diseases and speed up recovery as bile acids support bile circulation, digestion, health of the intestine and the immune system...
The relationship between reflux and bile function
Reflux is the reverse passage of gastric contents into the oesophagus which can cause heartburn. The terms are often used interchangeably, but acid reflux is the actual action of part of the stomach contents traveling back up the oesophagus (sometimes into the throat and even into the mouth), while heartburn is the uncomfortable feeling as a result of that action....
The relationship between stress, bile function and digestion
In today's world, a stress-free lifestyle is almost impossible. Whether driving, at work, shopping, at the post office or among strangers etc. our life style keeps us under stress. A choleric person is generally believed to be angry, easily upset and losing his temper suddenly. This popular wisdom also suggests that stress has a negative effect on the release of bile...
In case of psoriasis
Bile acids in the gut block the absorption of bacterial endotoxins (internal poisons) that are produced there. This is due to its anti-psoriatic (psoriasis) effect. Bile deficiency suppresses the absorption of endotoxin and thus the release of cytokines. The effect of cytokines on the pathogenesis of psoriasis supports the role of bacterial endotoxins. In fact, treating psoriasis with bile acid is not a medical treatment but remedying a physiological deficiency...
Immunsystem support
The disinfectant effect of bile acids is due to the fact that various pathogens and toxic substances contain fat, which bile acids help to break down. It is much easier for immune cells to kill pathogens whose fat-containing skeleton has already been partially degraded by bile acids. Thus, by preventing them from being absorbed, they indirectly but naturally relieve the immune system, contributing to natural resistance and physicochemical protection...
Weight loss
One of the most important functions of bile acids is the breakdown of fats and oils, dispersing them into tiny particles. They also activate lipase, a fat-breaking enzyme that speeds up the breakdown and absorption of fats / oils in the body.
Digestive problems caused by insufficient bile function can also lead to weight gain. If the body’s bile function is inadequate but a bile acid supplement is used to fill in the missing amount, then a change in lifestyle and additional physical exercise may contribute to successful weight loss...
Diabetes
The bile and the secretions of the pancreas are excreted into the duodenum through the same oral cavity (duodenum). If the bile is stagnant, for example because of poor diet, stressful lifestyle, drinking too much coffee, then the enzymes in the pancreas cannot be excreted along with the bile ...
