Liver Support, Protection, & Detoxification are something that many people take for granted. In today’s world, people are exposed to a variety of toxins or other things that are hard on the liver in the air we breathe, the food we eat, in things we take, and in alcoholic beverages. For athletes, this can sometimes be even more of an issue because of certain substances that they choose to put into their body.*
At Competitive Edge Labs, we want to stress that nothing substitutes for a healthy lifestyle but there are so many things in this world that people and sometimes especially athletes come in contact with that can be harmful to the liver that we felt the need to offer this unique, high end ingredient to help our consumers.
What TUDCA is and why it’s Awesome:
TUDCA is the abbreviation for Tauroursodeoxycholic Acid which is a prescription drug also known as UDCA. UDCA is prescribed for the treatment of cholestatic liver disease. And while UDCA is great for treating liver disease, you can’t get it without a prescription and even then, it is very expensive. That’s where TUDCA comes in. Because it is a metabolite of UDCA, TUDCA may offer outstanding liver protection.
According to research, TUDCA may be just as powerful as UDCA in the treatment of biliary cirrhosis. Research also suggests that TUDCA may assist the treatment of people with chronic hepatitis – something that goes beyond the even the impressive benefits of traditional liver support supplements such as Milk Thistle and N-Acetyl-Cysteine.
Importance to Bodybuilders and Athletes
In the quest to achieve the most impressive physique or to maximize athletic performance, many bodybuilders and athletes take oral anabolic enhancement products. These products are notoriously harsh on your liver and have been documented to cause liver failure in some people. Androgens may raise your LDL cholesterol. TUDCA may help combat these vicious effects by aiding the production of bile. TUDCA supports bile flow to remove toxic metabolites from the liver. It is through this that TUDCA may help protect you against cholestasis to ensure cholesterol metabolism. It’s a nice one-two punch – you get the potential for liver protection along with a cholesterol fighter all in one!
Can TUDCA be Stacked with Cycle Assist?
ABSOLUTELY! Cycle Assist has long been known as THE CHOICE for consumers looking for a support product for their on cycle and post cycle therapy needs. Cycle Assist contains liver support ingredients that can be very complimentary to TUDCA and offers a variety of benefits that TUDCA does not.*
