Bile helps break down dietary fat so the body can absorb it, along with certain fat-soluble nutrients. Some people use ox bile to help support bile flow and fat digestion, including those who have had their gallbladder removed. Each capsule is 500 mg; the 60-capsule bottle is non-GMO, gluten-free, and made in Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"vitamart-trust-strip\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVitamins Lowest Prices\u003c\/strong\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.vitamart.ca\/pages\/low-price-guarantee\"\u003eLowest Price in Canada — Guaranteed\u003c\/a\u003e | Ships from Ontario across Canada\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQuick Facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNew Roots Herbal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOx bile (bovine-sourced, freeze-dried)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStrength\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e500 mg per capsule\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStandardized\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45% cholic acid\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHelps With\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBile flow and fat digestion\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60 capsules\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMade In\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCanada\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOther\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNon-GMO · gluten-free · ISO 17025 lab verified · animal (bovine) source\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho Ox Bile Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeople who want support digesting fats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThose who have had their gallbladder removed and want bile support (with their doctor's input)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone with sluggish fat digestion looking for a bile supplement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeople who want a non-GMO, lab-verified ox bile made in Canada\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho this product is NOT for:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVegetarians and vegans — ox bile is an animal (bovine) product.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnyone with a blocked or obstructed bile duct — do not use ox bile; see your doctor.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone with a gallbladder, bile-duct, or liver condition — talk to your healthcare provider before use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf too much causes loose stools, reduce the amount.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVitamart's Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew Roots Ox Bile 500 mg is a digestive aid for people looking for extra support breaking down fats.
