Bile acids are steroid acids found predominantly in the bile of mammals and other vertebrates. Diverse bile acids are synthesized in the liver. Bile acids are conjugated with taurine or glycine residues to give anions called bile salts. Primary bile acids are those synthesized by the liver.
Q. What are the salts present in bile?
Bile salts are composed of the salts of four different kinds of free bile acids (cholic, deoxycholic, chenodeoxycholic, and lithocholic acids); each of these acids may in turn combine with glycine or taurine to form more complex acids and salts.

Q. What are the two types of bile salts?
Two primary bile salts are synthesized in mammalian liver: cholic acid, a trihydroxylated bile salt, and chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA), a dihydroxy bile salt.
Q. Are bile salts safe to take?
Bile salt supplements should be taken with a meal so they can aid in the absorption and digestion of fats and fat-soluble vitamins. I start patients with a lower dose, monitor how they feel after they eat and I usually pick a supplement that contains more cholic acid which is a more water-soluble bile acid.
Q. When should I take ox bile?
Ox bile just seems to work best for me. I try to take 2 x 125mg pills per meal if I remember to take it every meal or 3 x 125mg if I just remember to take it morning and night. The key to bile supplementation is to also take fat soluble vitamins at the same time, especially vitamin D.

Q. Why is bile yellowish green color?
Intracytoplasmic bile granules are usually yellow or green (as a result of oxidation of bilirubin to biliverdin) and vary considerably in size and density. With intrahepatic cholestasis, bile pigments are usually found in the form of granules or clumps within hepatocytes and Kupffer cells.
Q. What foods cause yellow poop?
