If due to age, lifestyle, illness, or pregnancy this process does not function properly, digestive problems may occur (bloating, constipation, diarrhea, aching under the right ribcage, lightened stool, pain radiating to the back, stabbing sensation, etc.) and gallstone formation begins.

In bile problems, women are affected approximately twice as often as men. The more sensitive nervous system of women and stress also play a role in this. The Oddi sphincter, which ensures the passage of bile fluid from the gallbladder, does not open properly due to stress, causing the bile fluid to become trapped in the gallbladder where it can thicken, which also increases the risk of gallstones.

If the intestines do not receive a sufficient amount of bile acids, the neutralization of endotoxins (internal poisons) from the cell walls of dead gram-negative bacteria does not occur. This can cause inflammation in the body in the long term, which can lead to intestinal diseases or even dermatological problems (psoriasis, eczema, acne-prone skin, dry skin).

GALLMET bile acid capsules are able to compensate for and alleviate disorders of the bile circulation on a causal basis, including after gallstones and gallbladder surgery.

Soft, cholesterol stones smaller than about 15 mm may well be dissolved by taking bile acids.

After gallbladder surgery, there is a lack of sufficient bile acid for fat and protein breakdown during meals. This is because the produced bile fluid continuously trickles into the duodenum - as there is no gallbladder to collect it. This can lead to the digestive problems previously listed, which can be compensated for by bile acid supplementation and supporting the bile circulation.
