Product Information

• Name: Tauroursodeoxycholic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) is a bile acid derivative, which is synthesized endogenously in the human body as a liver metabolite. It originates from the conjugation of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) with taurine, which enhances its solubility and biological activity. TUDCA functions primarily by inhibiting apoptosis and reducing endoplasmic reticulum stress within cells. It achieves this by mitigating the accumulation of misfolded proteins and enhancing proper protein folding, thereby maintaining cellular homeostasis.
