TUDCA 250mg 100 caps

Description

TUDCA (Tauroursodeoxycholic Acid) is a naturally occurring, hydrophilic bile salt of ursodeoxycholic acid conjugated with taurine. It is produced in small amounts in the human body during bile acid metabolism.

In scientific research, TUDCA is valued as a model compound for analyses related to:

• cellular homeostasis and lipid metabolism,
• the functioning of the endoplasmic reticulum and the phenomenon of so-called ER stress (endoplasmic reticulum stress),
• protection of mitochondria and stability of cell membranes,
• research on apoptosis and mechanisms of neuroprotection.

Due to these properties, TUDCA has been the subject of intense interest in molecular biology, toxicology and research on metabolic and neurodegenerative diseases for many years.

Status:
TUDCA, offered as a laboratory product, is intended for scientific and educational purposes only. It is not sold as a dietary supplement or food.
