Tudca (taurusodeoxycholic acid) is a water-soluble bile acid that is naturally produced in small amounts in the body and has a long history of use in traditional Chinese medicine. TUDCA is often used as an additive to maintain a healthy outflow of bile from the liver to the intestines, as well as to maintain the general condition of the liver and eyes. The drug has the property of removing toxins and harmful substances from liver tissues. Tudca is a hepatoprotector with a complex effect. Tauroursodeoxycholic acid affects many biochemical and physiological processes underlying the formation of bile and bile acid metabolism, stabilizes the cell membranes of hepatocytes, reduces the severity of immunopathological reactions in hepatitis and inflammation in diseases of the biliary tract. Tudca improves the circulation of bile acids and their salts in the portal vein system. In particular, tauroursodeoxycholic acid inhibits the reabsorption of hepatotoxic bile acids (cholic, deoxycholic, lithocholic) into the portal vein, accelerates their excretion through the intestine.
Indications for use:
Due to its complex hepatoprotective effect, Tudca is used in many diseases of the liver and biliary tract. The supplement is effective for bile duct dyskinesia, cholestasis and gallstone disease. In GI, Tudca is used to dissolve residual concretions after extracorporeal or mechanical lithotripsy.
In acute and chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, fibrosis and alcoholic liver damage, the immunomodulatory and membrane-stabilizing effect of tauroursodeoxycholic acid comes to the fore. When taking medications that promote the formation of gallstones, the food additive Tudca is used for preventive purposes.
