Product Information

• Name: Taurochenodeoxycholic acid sodium
• Synonyms: 2-([3α,7α-Dihydroxy-24-oxo-5β-cholan-24-yl]amino)ethanesulfonic acid sodiumSodium taurochenodeoxycholate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Taurochenodeoxycholic acid sodium is a bile acid derivative, which is naturally sourced from the bile of mammals. It is synthesized by conjugating chenodeoxycholic acid with taurine, resulting in its sodium salt form. The primary mode of action of taurochenodeoxycholic acid sodium involves its role in the emulsification and absorption of dietary fats and fat-soluble vitamins in the intestines. Additionally, it acts on the liver, where it enhances bile flow and exhibits hepatoprotective properties by modulating bile acid composition and reducing cytotoxicity.
