Top 7 Benefits of Tudka, the Bear of Liver Biohacks. Hey, this is Jonathan with Limitless Mindset, and this is my meta-analysis podcast. That's right, I'm trying to make meta-analysis podcast a thing, because I know that the biohackers of the world really like to listen. and learn. So if you are thinking about taking this one, if you are there with your credit card in your hot little hand, just about to order this one, I do suggest that you head over to limitlessmindset.com, and I have got my article corresponding to this podcast linked below wherever you are listening to... this. And that's where I have got all those links to all the stuff that you might want to investigate. Some of these rabbit holes of links of research on the internet that are worthy of your exploration. You can start there. and I do sometimes record these podcasts, and then I come across something new about a particular supplement or neutropic, and I update my website with what people need to know, and I don't always get a chance to put out a new podcast. So, yeah, you do want to have a thorough... rigorous approach to anything that you're putting in your body. So I hope you do check out my website if you're going to take Tudka. And I hope that you also, if you use it and you have an interesting experience with it, drop me a comment or a email or a message wherever letting me know how it worked out for you. And I may actually include your... anecdote in my article. So, let's dive in. Too often, too often, my friends, our livers don't get the love they deserve. Actually, they take a lot of abuse, don't they. Tudka is a rarefied supplement that supports the function of this organ that... does so much to support us. Toroerso-deoxycolic acid, which I'll refer to with the phonetically uncombersome acronym Tudka from now on. Yes, I did have to practice my pronunciation of Toro-Eurso-deoxycolic acid a few times to get it right. So... This has a not insignificant amount of science backing it up. Thirteen clinical trials can be found on PubMed, and I have got the molecule graphic of it over on the article. It is not the most handsome molecule. Tudka is a bile salt. naturally made in our bodies. The etymology geeks might note that its long, hard to pronounce, Latin name contains Erso, the bear. Because, fun fact, in traditional medicine, according to legend, one had to kill... an angry bear to get this medicine in its naturally occurring form. The stuff must have some pretty fantastic medicinal properties if our ancestors were willing to go toe to toe with a snarling grizzly to get some. Although I have a feeling that this etymology is wholly mythological. I have a feeling that, you know, The men of the tribe would go out, and they'd get the medicine that was needed, and then they'd come back and say, I had to kill a, we had to fight a bear to get this stuff for you. So I hope you really appreciate it. I have a feeling that's maybe how it ended up with that name. Here, I'll break down the science and what practical benefits it translates into. First of all, liver support for bodybuilders. Tudka is loved in the bodybuilding space because it restores, rehabs, and maintains the liver. Which bodybuilders throw endless, strange molecules at. Bodybuilders take steroids and psalms in bulking cycles to cut... fat fast, and accelerate muscle growth. They take oral, anabolic steroids, increasing ALT and AST liver enzyme levels, and TUTCA mitigates this, along with preventing liver cell death, prevents buildup of liver bile, and it blocks formation of toxic. metabolites. If you're going to take steroids or SARMs to enhance your fitness or bodybuilding, five human clinical trials indicate that Tudka supplementation is a pretty smart idea. Secondly, it treats colostasis, and I've got a drawn-out illustration of what colostasis is. As our livers labor day in and day out, even while we are sleeping, bile acid builds up between the liver and gall bladder. When our livers are chronically overworked and underappreciated, because we take too many supplements, drugs, or drink booze, or eat toxic, non-organic food, excess bile acid manifests in colostasis. Colostasis can result in liver disease and symptoms of itchiness, jaundice, dark urine, and pale stools. That's right, pale stools. Whatever you do, don't Google image, search that last one, you'll regret it. I'm telling you, there's certain things in my life that I wish I could take back, you know? So, an adult would want to take 1 ,000 to 1,500 milligrams daily to treat colstasis. Next, as a hangover hack for alcohol, ingestion recovery, Tudka... isn't the first supplement that I would recommend to boozing biohackers. I have got some articles about that. A couple articles, actually, that you will want to check out if you are enjoying some of the silly sauce on occasion. But Tudka certainly qualifies as a hangover hack because of all the good it does for your liver, as opposed to blocking... alcohol from converting into toxic acetylide, it just reverses liver damage. So it's probably more effective for recovering alcoholics to take than it is for averting a hangover. Importantly, don't take it before drinking. There are some things... that you can take before drinking, like a glutathion, but if you do tutka before drinking, it actually does more liver damage. So you would want to take it after drinking or as a recovering alcoholic. Next, it combats liver cirrhosis. This condition is as nasty as it sounds. Basically, it means that your liver becomes scarred, resulting in lack of sex drives, severe cramps, weakened bones, and all number of other nasty symptoms leading up to and including death. So a trial of 23 Italians concluded that Tudka was an effective treatment for cirrhosis, that it was well tolerated and no patient complained of side effects. That's good. Next, treating hepatitis. A few decades ago, an Italian placebo-controlled multi-center study of 150 patients with chronic... hepatitis, evaluated it for six months, and concluded simply. Tudka improves the biochemical expression of chronic hepatitis. Next, diabetes and insulin sensitivity. Ooh, insulin sensitivity is a topic that has appeared on this podcast a couple of times, notably, in regard to the COVID pandemic. In Dr. Mercola's excellent book, The Truth About COVID-19, he talks about how insolence resistance, which is people that are diabetic, a lot of people that are overweight, how that insolence resistance puts people in a much higher risk category of death or hospitalization from... COVID. So if you've got a person in your life that is diabetic, they've been overweight for a long time, and they should be worried about COVID, definitely, then you could possibly give them some Tudka. So it is an anti-aging neutropic. in that it does cross the blood-grain barrier, where it decreases beta amyloid. It's speculated that it might be a potent preventative measure for Alzheimer's. Tutka prevents apoptosis, which is the death of liver cells. And I have mixed feelings about apoptosis. In one sense, you want your old cells to die? at the right time and be replaced by young cells. You don't want your body's cells to be like Japan. If you know much about Japan, you know that they have this disproportionately old population. Actually, it's a problem that a lot of companies in the world have, and that's not what you want going on in your body. You want that generational renewal happening. So if you're doing some sort of special anti-aging strategy, focusing on optimizing apoptosis, then you're going to want to think about that, some. Next, cancer prevention. A handful of studies and papers suggest that Tudka mitigates cancer cell proliferation, particularly colon cancer. According to a 2017 paper published in Plus. I would wager that it has a downstream effect of preventing cancer via its liver-supporting effect. The general toxicity of nearly everything we consume results in cancer. The risk of which increases the worse our livers get at filtering out toxins. So even if you're not a roided-up Bodybuilder, it's probably a wise cancer prevention measure to order a bottle of Tudka once or maybe twice a year and take it for a month or two. I have a feeling that your liver, which does not complain through the journey through hell that we drag it through sometimes, I have a feeling that your liver would appreciate. some of that. Okay, so this one, I gave a risk grade of A minus. In a human study, 1,500 milligrams were taken daily for six months by subjects with no adverse events occurring, meaning that nobody experienced... any unpleasant side effects bad enough that they reported to the scientists running the study. That is a pretty good sign. And 500 milligrams daily was safely tolerated for a year by patients in an Italian liver transplant study. So that's a pretty good sign. Side effects. While it has a long, scary-sounding name, it's a natural chemical produced in the body. So the negative effects documented are minimal. Some stomach discomfort was mentioned by some people, and it's not recommended for pregnant women or children. Moving on to dosage and usage. If you're a bodybuilder taking steroids or SARMs, be responsible and use Tudka during your bulking cycles. Ideally, you would want to get liver enzyme tests done to see how the drugs are affecting your liver. If not, pay attention to your urine. The darker it is, the more concerned you should be with liver rehab. but not if you're taking mephling blue, which turns your urine a really funny color. You'll want to listen to my recent podcast about that one as well. It's a really different kind of thing, but also can have a possible effect on your urine. If you ever thought it would be awesome to have blue urine, then I've got the supplement for you. If hangovers hit you really hard, then it's time for some liver maintenance. If you're the kind of person that you have, I don't know, maybe it's like your anniversary or something, and you have, like, two or three drinks, and you don't usually have two or three drinks, and you got, ooh, you got a nasty hangover the next day, that's kind of a not good sign. That's a sign that your liver is in need of a bit of rehabilitation. Tudka's notable co-factor is, Enacetyl cysteine, which is, oh boy, an acetyl cysteine just does all sorts of wonderful things for the body. It's really one of those things that every respectable biohacker should have in their biohacking bin. Recommended daily. As low as 250 milligrams for treating primary billory colangitis, 500 milligrams daily was taken by patients recovering from a liver transplant. 1,500 milligrams is the standard dose for bodybuilders or healthy adults. That's probably what I would do if I was just going to do an annual liver rehab type dose, because then I would, yeah, then I'd go through the bottle in about a month, and then I don't have to worry about it again until the... Earth completes its journey around the sun, and 1750 milligrams is the higher end of the dosage range. This kind of dosage would be appropriate for someone treating fatty liver disease. And now, unfortunately, I have to tell you about the Tudka scam. Apparently, there's a Tudka scam. that you have to be wary of. Companies mislabel Utka as Tudka. Utca is the less bioavailable and pharmacologically active version of this stuff. Tudka should cost $40 to $60 per bottle because, you know, they got to fight an angry bear to get it. So if you come across Tudka, and it costs, like, $25 to $30, it's most certainly no bueno. Ne have a show. Ne Dobre. It's no good. Bye. Friends, stay away from that. I'm sure over there on Amazon, where you can buy all the fraudulent supplements that you can afford, I'm sure that you can find some very cheap, quote-unquote. Tudka, you'll want to take it as a standalone supplement, not as an ingredient in a pre-workout stack or multivitamin that contains a bunch of other ingredients. The more ingredients a supplement contains, the more likely that the individual ingredients are of a shoddy quality. And, as I always say, you can and should demand to see a COA certificate of analysis for the Tudka before you purchase or ingest it. Current year, Jonathan, here with an update on this one. I did identify some credible sources of Tudca supplements that are importantly COA verified from accredited labs. And for those sources, I'm going to send you over to the meta-analysis article, which you'll find linked below wherever you're watching or listening to me. Reason being, if I recommend sources in these podcasts, sometimes those sources go away. And this podcast is a static medium, and actually this is kind of a sad thing. In my 14 years, I have often seen that vendors who offer really high-quality products, I've seen that a lot of times they actually don't survive. So on my website, I do a pretty good job of keeping that updated with credible sources. So you're going to want to check that out. Something that won't go away. I'll mention downloadable Tudka. Yeah, this is a thing. You may be interested in taking it as an infasutical. which is a non-pharmacological, side-effect-free version of the supplement that takes advantage of the phenomena of water memory. Yeah, so the infasutical essence of the supplement is imprinted on water via quantum collocation and electro... magnetism via a device and infaceuticals typically have about one-third or half the effect of the actual medicine that's being imprinted this might blow your mind a little bit and if you're skeptical of it that's understandable it's a game-changing application of a little known scientific phenomena, but I urge you to evaluate the scientific evidence, which is presented in my biohacker review that was entitled, Downloadable Medicine is No Longer Science Fiction. Check that out, and that is linked in the meta-analysis article. which brings me to my conclusion on this one tootka is like a liver-loving teddy bear a cuddly protector against the slings and arrows of outrageous toxicity so if you're considering a foray into the wild world of steroids or saw-arms or if your liver is feeling a little under the weather Tudka may be the perfect supplement to cuddle -up with, just remember, while Tudka appears to be safe for most, it's always best to consult with your friendly neighborhood physician before embarking on a new supplement regimen. Yeah, you might want to check out my article on how to biohack smart and safe. I have, I dare say, the most compendious exhaustive guide on the internet to that, and I will update this article, including a link to to that. So this one, it does remain on my list of supplements to try, so hopefully I can get back to you with a biohacker review on it. If you go ahead and try, Tudka, leave a comment below or drop me a line, letting me know what your experience is with it. I'm Jonathan with Limitless, looking forward to a continued conversation with you. In tradition. dot com
