Preliminary review
I just started taking these for liver and gallbladder help and wanted to leave a quick preliminary review. I will write a full review after I've been taking this for 30 days.
Before I started taking these my stamina was pretty much at 0 and the fatigue in my legs was so bad that it hurt to walk and I would often lose control of my legs to the point of my knees buckling.
The first day I took one pill and noticed that after my afternoon nap, I was able to wake up quickly whereas ordinarily, it takes me more than 30 minutes to fully wake up and be able to stand.
The next day I learned that the serving size was two pills so I took two at around 11am. By 7:30pm I had pain in the upper right quadrant and I felt very sick. Fever, sweats, nausea, the works. That lasted about an hour and then it went away completely. At that point I wasnt convinced it had anything to do with the Tudca. I'm still not 100% sure. It could've been the meal I ate, which may have a little too much fat.
The next day I took 2 more pills at 11am and about 8 hours later I started feeling a dull pain in the upper right quadrant again but this time there was no general sickness. That strange pain grew into what felt like pressure and if I leaned against that part of my back, the pain got worse and the feeling of pressure grew and I eventually developed a headache from it. Even with that pain and pressure, I could feel my energy had gone through the roof and I was able to work out for nearly an hour with no fatigue at all. I havent been able to do that in well over a year.
I decided to lay off the pills for two days to let that pressure and pain clear up and they did. I started the pills again this morning with 1 pill only. More than 8 hours later there are no adverse reactions at all and my energy level is great. Not what it was the second day I took two pills but still much better than normal. My legs feel about 80% stronger and there is no pain with the fatigue and no buckling knees.
So far, I am thoroughly impressed. I've only taken 6 of these pills and I can already feel a big improvement. I have no idea what state my liver and gallbladder are in so I have no idea why I felt those adverse reactions. I really just wanted to put this out there for anybody doing their own research on TUDCA without having seen a doctor first, like I did. So much of the research out there says there are no side effects with TUDCA but I obviously had some taking a full dose of 2 pills. With 1 pill though there are no bad side effects and I feel much stronger than I did before I started taking them.
