In the liver, a significant proportion of cholesterol is converted into bile acids, a process that helps rid the body of excess cholesterol, which can be harmful. If the liver produces too little bile acid, too much cholesterol remains in the body, the digestion of fats, so absorbed fats raise blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

Cholesterol levels can therefore be controlled more effectively by stimulating bile function and replacing bile acids.

Stimulating bile flow can be helped by regular exercise, reducing excess weight, eating certain herbs, and eating hot peppers and black pepper, which stimulate bile secretion.

Replenishing bile acids from the outside also helps weight loss, lowering cholesterol levels and eliminating fat from adipose tissues, according to recent research. Bile acids are essential for the body, in addition to digestive functions, for example for the healthy functioning of the gut flora, the microbiome, to inhibit the overgrowth of abnormal bacteria in the small intestine, to fight endotoxins (toxins produced by the death of bacteria and fungi) in the gut, to prevent insulin resistance and obesity. Without bile acids, fat-soluble vitamins (vitamins A, D, E and K) cannot be absorbed.
