New Roots Herbal’s highest-quality, freeze-dried, bovine-sourced Ox Bile is standardized to 45% cholic acid, the primary bile acid instrumental to aid in digestion of fats and certain nutrients. Ox bile is used in herbal medicine to help increase bile flow. It’s useful for those with bile-acid synthesis disorders, to help compensate for those with an age-related or health-related decline in bile production, or for individuals who had their gallbladder removed. Bile breaks down fats into fatty acid components in food for improved intestinal absorption and assimilation. New Roots Herbal prides themselves in using only the purest, highest-quality raw materials available as well as employing the strictest quality controls.
