Gall Plus is a specialised complex containing bile salts, lipase, other nutrients and food extracts, which may help support the health of the liver and gall bladder and assist in the emulsification and absorption of dietary fats.
Gall Plus contains the enzyme lipase. In the body, lipase plays an essential role in digestion, helping the body to process and absorb dietary fats. Lipase begins the process of the breakdown of dietary fats. Then bile is released by the gall bladder (ideally) to help break down fat molecules into even smaller molecules.
Ox bile concentrate may help to support the emulsification of fats and in this way may subsequently improve the absorption of dietary fats and therefore also fat-soluble nutrients. As ox bile is chemically similar to our own, it may supplement the liver’s production of bile. The Ox bile concentrate in Gall Plus is derived from BSE-free herds. These herds have been reared free-from the use of antibiotics and hormones.
Gall Plus contains pepsin, which is one of the main digestive enzymes. It can only function in the acidic lower stomach where it breaks down proteins into smaller peptides. The pepsin is porcine (pork) in source.
Biologically, the amino acid glycine is involved in the emulsification of fats. In this way fats are solubilised for digestion and absorption.
Lecithin is known to be an excellent emulsifier of fats. Lecithin contains high levels of phosphatidyl choline, and choline supports healthy metabolism in the body.
Beetroot and black radish both have a long traditional use and may support a healthy liver and digestion.
The B vitamins thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2) and niacin (B3) all contribute to normal energy-yielding metabolism.
