The role of bile acids in the immune system, cholesterol levels, psoriasis and reflux
Immune system support with bile acids
Bile acids are one of the the most important function of the fat reduction, they disperse the oil and fat into tiny particles - breaking it down. The antiseptic action of bile acids is due to the presence of a fat component in the structure of various pathogenswhich bile acids help to break down. Immune cells are much better at killing macro viruses and bacteria with lipid coatings (e.g. herpes, endotoxins, etc.), the fat-containing skeleton of which has already been partially degraded by bile acids. Thus, by not allowing them to be absorbed, they indirectly but naturally relieve the immune system, contributing to natural resistance and physico-chemical defence.
Psoriasis is one of the most common skin conditions
The psoriasis is primarily due to hereditary factors, and secondarily to various infections, inflammatory processes and metabolic disorders.
Bile acids in the intestine prevent the absorption of bacterial endotoxins (internal toxins) that are produced there, which is responsible for their action against psoriasis. Bile supplementation prevents the absorption of endotoxin and thus the release of cytokines. The effect of cytokines in psoriasis pathogenesis confirms the role of bacterial endotoxins. The treatment of psoriasis with bile acid actually non-pharmacological treatmentbut a physiological niche.
Based on literature, 551 patients with psoriasis were treated with oral bile acids for 1-8 weeks. Of these patients, 434 (79%) became asymptomatic. Of the 249 patients who received conventional treatment, only 62 (25%) were asymptomatic during the same period. Source: Vitality
Did you know that 47% of Hungarian men and 39% of Hungarian women have high cholesterol?
"'The human body needs cholesterol, ... it's a very important cell-building element and it's from this that the body makes bile acids. Fat and fat-like foods cannot be processed by the body without cholesterol.'"
The excess cholesterol in our diet cannot be broken down by any of our cells. One natural way to get rid of excess cholesterol the excretion of cholesterol by your own bile or bile ingested from outside. About 20-30% of the excess cholesterol is converted to bile acids, while about 70% is released into the gallbladder without conversion. If the production of bile acids by the body is reduced for any reason, there is a significant increase in the gallstone formation the risk of. Thus, oral intake of bile acids can help break down excess cholesterol.
What is reflux and how is it related to bile flow?
"Reflux is the backflow of stomach contents through the oesophagus. About reflux disease is when the reflux of gastric contents through the oesophagus leads to complaints or complications that impair quality of life.
In addition to a poor lifestyle (e.g. too much sedentary work) and poor eating habits (e.g. late dinners), poor bile function also causes reflux disease. By replacing bile acids, bile secretion becomes regular and also triggers the small intestine to function, thus eliminating the condition that allows food to pass upwards and cause reflux-like symptoms. The effect of bile acids depends on the health condition and individual sensitivity.
