No discernable positive effects, but that could be due to an upset stomach I suffered. I did try it a second time and same unhappy belly. Could just be me though and it wasn't anything major, just enough to make me not on my A game. Read more

I don't feel any different for taking these. If anything changes I will update this review. Read more

I love that this product has no hidden special blend of ingredients With tudca in it! When places hide the blend of things they want me to take, it concerns me. This company has 3rd party testing. I feel more comfortable knowing this. The pills were easy to swallow and they are fresh. Read more

I take this for liver protection because I am a heavy drinker. TUDCA, in general, is protective of the liver, according to some research, although the evidence is limited. Liver lesions in people with cirrhosis have been attributed, at least in part, to the buildup of bile acids. A small study in China among 18 people with cirrhosis found that taking 250 mg of TUDCA three times daily for 6 months reduced markers of liver injury by about 38% to 48% compared to baseline. However, markers of liver fibrosis (scarring) did not improve (Pan, J Huazhong Univ Sci Technolog Med Sci 2013). Possible side effects are mild diarrhea (1.4% to 13%), pruritus (2.8%), rash (1.4%), and pain during menstruation (1.4%) (Ma, Medicine, 2016; Elia, Eur J Neurol 2016). TUDCA should not be taken by people with active peptic ulcers or those who are pregnant. People with frequent biliary tract infections and those with intestinal conditions that can affect the absorption of bile acids (such as Crohn's disease) should consider avoiding TUDCA. Drugs that prevent the absorption of bile acids (such as cholestyramine) and those that reduce the excretion of bile acids from the liver (such as estrogens, birth control pills, and certain cholesterol-lowering agents) may reduce the effects of TUDCA. I've read in places you shouldn't take this until alcohol has cleared your system and 12 hours before drinking again. I could not find good sources to cite this. In my personal experience, I have not had any side effects. I generally take it in the morning, as I am an evening drinking. My liver enzymes have been slightly elevated for years but no where even close to any kind of danger zone. Could it be the TUDCA? I can't be sure. But, I've taken other brands before this one and my enzyme levels have remained the same. So, at the very least, I think this product contains what it actually claim it has - 500mg of TUDCA per dose.
