Ox bile extract
Bile is excreted by the liver and stored in the gallbladder
until needed to assist in digestion of lipids, or fats. Bile
salts, which are the active components of the bile, assist
in breaking down cholesterol and other fat components in the
intestines. Supplemental bile extract helps emulsify fats
and promotes absorption of fat-soluble vitamins such as vitamins
K, A, D and E.
A deficiency of bile production, or decreased excretion of
bile by the gallbladder can lead to gallstones. These gallstones
are formed from various combinations of cholesterol, concentrated
bile, minerals and pigments.
