SEEKING HEALTH Ox Bile 125 (Digestion and Metabolism Support) 120 capsules

Ox Bile from Seeking Health provides 125 mg of bile bile, standardized to 40% cholic acid, in each cellulose capsule. Bile acids, including cholic acid, are the main components of bile, a fluid produced in the liver that is largely responsible for the proper digestion of lipids (fats) in the small intestine. As part of the normal digestive process, healthy bile production is also important for maintaining overall health, nutritional status and normal energy metabolism.


As a result of a series of enzymatic reactions, bile acids such as cholic acid and chenodeoxycholic acid are produced in the liver and conjugated with glycine or taurine to form bile salts. These processes of bile production constantly occur in the liver. Bile is then transported and stored in the gallbladder, and after eating is released into the small intestine. There, bile acids form micelles surrounding very small fat droplets. This effect is important because it allows the lipase produced by the pancreas to effectively digest fat in the digestive process. Healthy bile production is essential for the normal digestion of dietary fats and oils.


The digestive process is crucial to maintaining overall health and well-being. The correct distribution of nutrients from food is the first step towards maintaining proper nutrition, normal absorption of vitamins and minerals, healthy bones, muscles and other tissues, and normal energy metabolism. Because bile acids are necessary for the processing and digestion of fats, they are also needed for the normal absorption of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K.
