Any thoughts on tudca? (tauroursodeoxycholic acid) read that some docs recommend to improve liver enzyme function tests?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Which doctors?: Tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) is an ambiphilic bile acid that is the taurine conjugate form of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA)--a prescription for some liver-related diseases. If you have abnormal liver function tests (LFT's), your best actions now are to find the cause & treat it rather than self-medicate, as well as (if warranted) management of obesity, diabetes, cholesterol, & alcohol intake.
