Bile plays a crucial role in the body—it supports nutrient processing in the liver, helps regulate lipid and glucose metabolism, removes waste products, and fosters a balanced gut microbiome. Certain health conditions—especially living without a gallbladder—can leave the body short of bile, making supplementation useful. When choosing an ox-bile product, look for a formula with ample cholic acid. Double Wood’s Ox Bile Acid Salt delivers more than 45 % standardized cholic acid, ensuring reliable potency with every serving.
