What Is Bile and What Does It Do?
Bile is a digestive fluid produced by the liver and stored and concentrated in the gallbladder; it plays an important role in fat digestion and absorption.
Bile's digestive role
Bile acids help emulsify dietary fats, supporting digestion and absorption. Bile also participates in broader signaling and excretory processes.
Why it appears in supplement marketing
References to bile or the liver can be used to imply broad “detox” benefits. Biological relevance alone does not prove a supplement outcome.
