Cyto-Matrix TUDCA 60 v-caps

250mg of Tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) and 75mg of additional choline to promote liver health, microbiome balance, metabolism, and neurological health.

Bile salts are essential components of bile, a fluid needed to digest fats, aid in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, eliminate waste products, and assist in the formation of hormones. Bile and bile salts are produced in the liver and stored in the gallbladder between meals. Insufficient bile salts can lead to poorly digested fats passing through the digestive tract, resulting in flatulence, cramping, loose bowel movements, and an increased risk of gallstone formation.

Tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) is a conjugated bile salt known for its potential benefits to gallbladder and liver health. TUDCA has been shown to assist individuals with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), a chronic autoimmune disease that causes bile to accumulate in the liver. It may also reduce the effects of cirrhosis caused by long-term alcohol consumption. Studies in mice suggest that TUDCA may slow the progression of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) by reducing gut inflammation, improving intestinal barrier function, and modulating intestinal microbiota composition. In other research, TUDCA has been shown to reduce fat absorption in the intestines, potentially reducing the risk of gallstone formation.

In addition to its role in bile, TUDCA has been shown to alleviate endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress within cells, which enhances protein folding and cellular signaling. By reducing ER stress, TUDCA’s effects extend to various chronic conditions linked to ER stress. TUDCA also regulates apoptosis (programmed cell death).

TUDCA has been studied in the context of neurological conditions, where it has shown promise in mitigating damage from both acute injuries like stroke and chronic neurodegenerative conditions.

TUDCA also plays a role in metabolic processes related to excess body fat and malnutrition. Studies have shown that TUDCA improves insulin sensitivity in liver tissue and muscles. In aged mice, TUDCA improved glucose regulation and reduced hyperinsulinemia by enhancing the liver's ability to break down insulin. Additionally, TUDCA has demonstrated positive effects in conditions like retinitis pigmentosa, renal fibrosis, and in models of increased pressure in the cardiovascular system by reducing scar tissue, cell death, and other related damage.

TUDCA by CytoMatrix combines 250mg of Tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) and 75mg of additional choline to promote liver health, microbiome balance, metabolism, and overall wellness. Choline, like TUDCA, is essential for bile production and the removal of cholesterol from the liver. TUDCA by CytoMatrix contains VitaCholine, a patented and clinically studied choline bitartrate salt. VitaCholine provides a high amount of elemental choline, rapidly dissolving and becoming available in the body as free choline without the need for enzymatic conversion. VitaCholine also plays a role in liver health through the production of phosphatidylcholine, bile, acetylcholine, and betaine.

Each capsule contains 250mg of Tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA), a conjugated bile salt that plays a key role in bile synthesis and reduces fat accumulation in the liver. TUDCA also reduces endoplasmic reticulum stress, which enhances cellular function in nervous tissues and other organs.

Additionally, each capsule contains 75mg of choline, delivered in the bioavailable choline bitartrate form. This form of choline provides a high amount of elemental choline, contributing to liver health, neurological function, and the production of phosphatidylcholine, bile, acetylcholine, and betaine.
