Jarrow Bile Acid Factors (333 mg.) - 90 caps contain a mix of extremely concentrated bile acids (also known as bile salts) which are mostly in the conjugated form. They are from United States and/or New Zealand bovine and ovine bile. The high potency has 95% conjugated bile acids in the form that the body secretes. Scientific documentation shows that it promotes the absorption of fat-soluble nutrients.

The liver produces bile acids and stores them in a concentrated form in the gallbladder. They then enter the small intestines through a bile duct. The main bile components in Bile Acid Factors are glycocholate and taurocholate, and they are vital for the digestion and absorption of fat. Bile acids emulsify fats in the small intestines for enhanced absorption.

A deficiency in bile acid can cause faulty absorption of fats and fatty stools. This is indicated by diarrhea and floating stools. It can also decrease your nutrition by decreasing the absorption of fat and fat-soluble nutrition. Clinical trials have demonstrated that conjugated bile acids are effective in improving fat absorption and nutritional status.
