bile salts

Bile supplements come in several types and delivery forms. Types include isolated bile acids (for example, TUDCA) and whole-animal bile preparations such as bovine/ox bile. Common formats for sale are capsules and pills, plus powders, chewables, gummies and liquid extracts.

Dosages vary widely by product. Common labeled amounts per capsule or serving include about 90 mg, 125 mg, 250 mg, 500 mg and up to 1,000 mg.

Supplements often use bovine/ox-derived bile or specific isolated bile acids (for example, TUDCA). Some products list bile acid composition—for instance, formulas noting a percentage cholic acid (e.g., 45% cholic acid).

Product descriptions commonly cite support for fat breakdown and overall digestion, improved nutrient and iron absorption, and liver-related effects such as helping bile flow and lowering elevated liver enzymes.

Bile is often combined with digestive enzymes (for example, pancreatin) and supportive herbal or nutritional ingredients such as chanca piedra and betaine in gallbladder or digestive blends.

Dosage is usually stated per capsule or serving. Typical instructions include examples like “take one capsule per day with water” or “take 1 capsule daily with 8–12 oz of water, or as directed.”
