Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 4

Bile salts are scientifically validated for their role in supporting the hepatic (liver) system, particularly in conditions where endogenous bile production or secretion is impaired. Bile salts are amphipathic molecules produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder. They are essential for the emulsification and absorption of dietary fats and fat-soluble vitamins in the intestine. In clinical medicine, purified or synthetic bile salts (such as ursodeoxycholic acid) are used therapeutically to treat certain liver disorders, including cholestatic liver diseases, primary biliary cholangitis, and gallstone dissolution. Supplementation with bile salts can aid in the digestion and absorption of fats in individuals who have had their gallbladder removed (cholecystectomy) or those with bile acid insufficiency due to liver dysfunction.

Scientific studies have demonstrated that bile salts can protect hepatocytes (liver cells), reduce bile acid toxicity, and improve bile flow. A Cochrane review and several randomized controlled trials support the use of specific bile acids (e.g., ursodeoxycholic acid) for some hepatic diseases. However, the use of general or unspecified bile salts as dietary supplements for liver health in otherwise healthy individuals is less well-supported. Most evidence pertains to specific clinical contexts rather than general wellness. Overall, the use of bile salts to support the hepatic system is grounded in scientific evidence, especially for particular liver conditions, earning a strong evidence rating of 4 out of 5.
