Bile salt

Bile salts are found naturally in bile which is created and secreted by the liver. Bile acids are created from cholesterol (a type of fat), bile (digestion fluid), and proteins also found in the liver. The purpose of bile salts is to help breakdown and transport fat out of the intestinal tract.

Bile salts are recycled by the body. In fact, approximately 5% of the bile salts that are created are not reused. This metabolism of bile salts is called enterohepatic circulation.

Bile Salts are a supplement that assists with the formation of bile acids within the liver. One important factor in creating new macrophages would be the available bile acids in the liver.

Macrophages, or the white blood cells, are lower in quantity in persons complaining of chronic fatigue, along with other more serious physical symptoms that have been noted.

Macrophages themselves are quite capable of being infected by viral pathogens, but as they are the primary immune strategy of the organism., an impaired immunity can be the result.

The production of bile is lowered after the flu as well as other ailments, leading to common post-viral complications such as fatigue, and other noted post viral complications such as post orthostatic tachycardial syndrome, confined to bed, swollen lymph nodes all despite having no test results.

Bile is necessary to form the kinds of macrophages needed for proper the maintenance of immunity. Red blood cells come in only one type, but white blood cells have basically three types.

A prescription for anti-biotics notably creates an almost immediate improvement, but then a crash afterwards.

The other course of action may be to supplement with bile salts on a daily basis until noted improvements in chronic fatigue symptoms, as bile salts will improve macrophages production by providing more available bile acids.

The body needs to be producing insulin in order that bile salts be used efficiently and be the most effective. When taking bile salts after every meal, a person with post viral effects like chronic fatigue might notice the onset of more fatigue than normal, so bile salts are best used with the dinner meal five hours before bed, and supplemented daily until notable improvement in symptoms, which should occur.

Over-supplementation with bile salts can be counterproductive as it can lead to additional fatigue rather than an alleviation of symptoms. Supplementation and positive outcomes can be slow-onset. A notable mild relapse of fatigue can also happen and may happen numerous times.

Bile Salts can alleviate anxiety, lift depression, and soothe the gall bladder. They will help regulate calcium ion channel impairments associated with chronic fatigue. Bile production which had been slowed down by post-viral complication can be restored by supplementing.
