MaxLife Naturals TUDCA Liver Support 500mg 60 Capsules Made in USA | Tauroursodeoxycholic Acid, Gallbladder Wellness Formula, Bile Flow Balance, Digestive Health Complex

I usually don't write reviews, but this product makes a real difference in my life. #1, I have struggled all my life with constipation, and, when I take this, it helps me go - it is such a Blessing. (For those of you, though, who already are able to "go," or worse, if you have a tendency toward having to go #2 urgently ...I would only try this out when you don't have to go out all day, And, only take 1 capsule, to see how this affects you...) ...On top of the Blessing of this helping me "go," it also has clinically proven benefits for (liver and) KIDNEYS, which... Kidney disease is becoming an epidemic, y'all, and trust me, you want to avoid it if you can :( (...Sodium is a known culprit, but also CARBS ...as tasty as they are :) ...Look into, also, "Taurine," which is related to Tudca, for additional benefits For Taurine, I use AllMax brand powder - and it is TASTELESS and UNSCENTED and pleasant to take! - ...Unlike ...this Tudca, which ...I do have to talk about the odor, in a minute... Anyway, though, you shouldn't take Taurine INSTEAD of Tudca, you should take IN ADDITION, for kidneys [and heart!]) ...Now, as for the odor ...this stuff smells AWFUL, and, I'm sorry to get graphic, but I have to warn you, it will also make your eliminations and gas smell AWFUL! ; I do dread taking this ...but it helps me so much and in so many ways ...And I've tried looking into other brands, but ...I have noticed every other brand I've found, comes in capsules that are White (not clear), and I had read that when capsules are white, the manufacturer seems to be using "Titanium Dioxide," which is a ...powdered METAL, used to give things a white coloring. (It is commonly used in MAKEUP ...but with that, I hope it at least for the most part sits ON the skin, and you don't ingest that much [maybe a little, if around your mouth] ...but at least THAT is labeled: I feel that a lot of brands are NOT DISCLOSING that they use Titanium Dioxide to color their capsules, and ...this should be illegal :( ) ...But now for an additive that THIS brand uses, that is bad: Magnesium Stearate - a Trans Fat ...this ingredient should be Banned :( ...but at least they DISCLOSE it ...but I Will write to them and ask them to please stop ; they can use simple rice powder filler instead. And that said: this brand has a higher amount of Tudca per capsule, at least - SO, despite the Mag Stearate, and the ...STENCH, I will continue to take THIS brand ...Again, it has made such a positive difference in my life. .

Great product and great support for my liver!

I had never heard of this stuff before last month. I was buying another bottle of one of Dr. Berg's products, and TUDCA Liver Support popped up in that "People who bought this, also viewed this," section. So I clicked and read another reviewer's success with TUDCA after watching a "Berg vid" about it and decided to hunt down that video. I had my first gallbladder "attack" during the covid shutdown in November last year (I live in California). I'm 55 years old. I'm a woman. I averaged about 3 or 4 "attacks" per month even after completely changing my diet, following all of the remedies suggested by Dr. Berg, doing cleanse upon cleanse. Nothing seemed to be helping, and I did *not* want to see my doctor because he would just insist I have it removed without considering any alternatives. My attacks were severe too. Incredible pain and cramping. I'd wake up sobbing in the middle of the night feeling like I was having a heart attack until I'd vomit. Running to the bathroom a half dozen times after a meal. Just nasty. I'd pay a hundred bucks a bottle for this stuff if it gave me some relief, YKWIM? Well, I've been taking TUDCA Liver Support for just about 6 weeks, and I have not have a single "attack." All the other symptoms associated with gallstones are also drastically reduced. It's unbelievable. Since November, when my symptoms first appeared, I have also been taking Enzymedica Digest Gold, Dr. Berg's Gallbladder Formula, ACV, and fish oil. To be honest, they did not help me on their own. However from day one of adding TUDCA Liver Support to my routine, it literally stopped the attacks "cold" and reduced all my other symptoms by 75%. Now, I dunno if it's the combo of all these supplements that makes the "magic bullet" for me, or if I could stop taking everything but the TUDCA and still have the same results. I kinda don't want to experiment either, if YKWIM? All I know is, I was miserable until I started taking the TUDCA Liver Support and now I'm better. This particular brand is the best price and potency I could find too, as of 8-2021.

Good solution to liver issues and good quality

I appreciate the quality of this Tudca supplement. Unfortunately, It seems to be triggering my migraines. I am going to need to stop taking it. 😞

Very pleased with my recent lab results!

Great supplement and price. Take every month

Everything about the product and the packaging is fine except the glue holding the safety seal to the top of the bottle. As soon as opening the bottle there was a strong smell exactly like epoxy glue. I removed most of the remnants of the glue and have left the bottle uncovered for a couple days, however the odor lingers. I've taken the pills out of the bottle and they are fine. The source of the smell is from the bottle. Follow-up: I have concluded that the pills themselves also have this odor, so have been forced to throw away. Obviously the maker needs to step forward and address this issue.

As soon as I open the bottle, it has a strong smell. I saw many comments about it.. is it normal? Can someone please explain if it is ok to take?
