Why Bile Flow Matters for Fat Digestion
Bile isn't optional in digestion. Your liver makes it, your gallbladder (if you still have one) stores and concentrates it, and it gets released into the small intestine to break fat into smaller droplets your body can actually absorb, along with fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K. When that system is working well, you don't think about it at all.
When it isn't, whether from a removed gallbladder, sluggish liver function, or just a heavier meal than usual, fat sits there partly undigested. That's usually what's behind the bloating, heaviness, or discomfort that shows up an hour or two after a rich dinner. An ox bile supplement is one way to give that process a hand, but only if it addresses more than a single step in the chain.
