Description
TUDCA, or Tauroursodeoxycholic acid, acts as a protector for your liver. Because humans only produce a small amount, it is often taken as a supplement to offer further protections for the liver.
TUDCA is a “good” bile salt that naturally occurs in your body. It’s main role in the body is to prevent “bad” bile acids from becoming jammed in the liver’s bile ducts.
