NFH Ox Bile SAP, 90 Capsules

Bile is the fluid the liver makes to help digest fats, and it also carries fat-soluble vitamins and calcium through the small intestine. NFH Ox Bile SAP supplies ox bile with a high cholic acid content, 500 mg per capsule standardized to 45% cholic acid, and ox bile has been used in traditional medicine to help increase bile flow.

People usually take it with meals that are heavier in fat. The bottle holds 90 capsules. Because the active ingredient comes from cattle it is not vegetarian, and it is worth a word with your practitioner before adding it if you have gallbladder or liver concerns.

• 90 capsules
• 500 mg ox bile (Bos taurus), 45% cholic acid, per capsule

Bile is a fluid excreted by hepatocytes to aid digestion. Bile performs several vital functions such as excretion of lipid soluble toxins, emulsification of dietary fats to aid in their absorption, cholesterol metabolism, excretion of immunoglobulin A and inflammatory cytokines to initiate an immune response, facilitation of enterohepatic circulation including the transport of hormones and pheromones. Bile acids are responsible for lipid digestion and absorption in the small intestine, as well as transport of calcium and fat soluble vitamins. Traditional medicine has been using animal bile for treatment of various disorders for over 3000 years. Recent research has shed new light on therapeutic applications of bile acids and sources of enriched bile acids.  Ox Bile SAP is a formulation containing ox bile with high cholic acid content, that has been used in traditional medicine to help increase bile flow.
