What is Tauroursodeoxycholic acid(TUDCA)?
Tauroursodeoxycholic acid, according to Wikipedia, is a
bile salt that is found natrually occurring in the body, it usually exhist in
the form of sodium salt. When regular bile salts reach the intestines, they can
be metabolized by bacteria into UDCA and then later bound to a Taurinemolecule
to become TUDCA. Bile is naturally synthesized via cholesterol,
consisting of compounds including taurochenodeoxycholic acid, ursodeoxycholic
acid, and chenodeoxycholic acid.
