Description
Tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) is a derivative of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), a bile acid that is naturally produced in the body and found in higher concentrations in bears, giving rise to its name from the Latin word "ursus," meaning bear. The history of TUDCA extends back to its use in Traditional Chinese wellness programs, where it was utilized to purify the body. Scientific recognition of TUDCA began in the 1950s, marking its journey from traditional to contemporary health practices. Today, TUDCA's role in health and wellness extends beyond its initial uses, with ongoing research investigating its mechanisms of action and potential applications in various fields of health and wellness.
