How it works
Bile salts emulsify dietary fats in the small intestine, increasing their surface area for enzymatic breakdown by lipases. This process facilitates fat absorption and reduces digestive discomfort.
Who should take it
Adults looking to address bloating, indigestion, irregular bowel movements. Particularly relevant for people who prefer a targeted single ingredient and who have ruled out an underlying condition that needs medical care first.
Avoid / careful
Pregnant or nursing women without clinician oversight. People on prescription medication affecting the same pathway should consult a doctor before combining. Side effects are uncommon at recommended doses but mild GI upset can occur when starting.
