Description
Digestive enzyme support for life after gallbladder removal
Lose the gallbladder and fatty meals can start to sit differently. That is the gap this fills: it pairs ox bile with pancreatic enzymes so your body has help breaking down the fats your gallbladder used to handle.* One capsule, right before your biggest meal.
What’s in each capsule
- Ox bile 200mg, a source of bile acids that support the digestion of dietary fat*
- Pancreatic lipase 3,000 USP for fats
- Pancreatic protease 12,480 USP for protein and amylase 12,480 USP for carbohydrates
- ATP (adenosine triphosphate), 250 million LCU
- One delayed-release capsule per serving (30 per bottle)
Why people reach for it after gallbladder removal
Your gallbladder stores bile from the liver and releases it when you eat fat, which helps break that fat down. Without a gallbladder, bile still flows, but not in the same concentrated, on-demand way, so larger or richer meals can feel harder to digest. Taking ox bile and lipase right before you eat puts that support back where it is missing, at the moment your body would normally call for bile.*
Who it’s for, and how to take it
It is chosen most often by people who have had their gallbladder removed, and also by people whose natural enzyme output has slowed with age or who feel heavy after rich meals. Take one capsule before your largest or fattiest meal of the day. Most people do fine with it; if your stomach is sensitive, start with your heaviest meal and see how you feel.
When to talk to your doctor
Ongoing digestive discomfort after gallbladder surgery is worth a conversation with your healthcare provider, who can rule out anything that needs attention and confirm an enzyme supplement is a good fit. If you are pregnant, nursing, or taking medications, check first.
