About Oleanolic Acid
Oleanolic Acid is a liver & hepatoprotective supplement used to support liver detoxification and elimination. Triterpene for liver protection and glucose. It is available in capsule form and dosed for adults in India and internationally. As a western-tradition entry in the SacredBod catalog, it is positioned as a single-ingredient option that can be used on its own or layered into a broader protocol. Oleanolic Acid works through the mechanisms characteristic of its class — see the mechanism and research sections for detail. It primarily acts on the liver, kidneys, lymphatic system, and effects are dose-dependent, typically becoming measurable within 4-8 weeks for detox markers. Consistency matters more than dose size for this category.
Evidence
Oleanolic Acid carries an evidence grade of C in the SacredBod catalog, reflecting emerging human evidence for liver detoxification and elimination. Triterpene for liver protection and glucose. Benefits are cumulative rather than immediate, typically becoming noticeable within 4-8 weeks for detox markers, and individual response varies.
Dosing
A typical dose is 300 mg, taken with food, usually in the morning. Start at the lower end, assess tolerance, and stay consistent; more is not automatically better.
