Can you herx on Tudca?

Has anyone used Tudca? Have you herxed when starting it?

When reading about it I cannot see why Tudca would cause a herx but I have tested a couple of times and I seem to get muscle ache, heavy breathing, headache and heavy emotions after taking it. Have anyone any idea why I get this?

Great post bluelyme!

What brand of TUDCA are you using?

You can herx on it. I did, but with exacerbation of my normal symptoms, followed by feeling improvement like you should following a herx.

This was not after “testing it a couple times.” This was daily use, and by 2 weeks in, I had noticeable improvement.

The way you described it sounds like you could be having a negative reaction to the supplement and something in it.

Edit: Here’s some information on reported adverse reactions to UDCA (related to TUDCA):

“The following adverse effects have been reported with the use of UDCA, which is similar to TUDCA:

Worsening of pre-existing psoriasis
Other skin issues (rash, urticaria, dry skin)

Headache
Fatigue

Yeah. I don’t know anything about that brand. I have only used Nutricost, which is highly rated in the sports world and Microbe Formulas.

TUDCA aids in the different levels of liver detox, so it has an effect on how your liver functions and removes toxic waste. As a result, you can experience reactions to toxins being released. That’s my explanation based on what I have read.

However, TUDCA seems to be much more than that in ways that I don’t fully understand or know how to describe. It does something with histamine, as well, which I believe is part of why it helped me so much with chemical and mold sensitivities.

I read an article from Microbe Formulas about it before I started it, but I had trouble trying to find that article. It seemed like there was a video interview with a farmer that was very insightful. I will look for it and post it if I find it again.

I took Tudca from Bio Body half a capsule a day for 8 days that would be around 125 mg and didn't feel too well. then today Saturday I took a full capsule 250 mg, and within 2 to 3 hours I started feeling restless and shaking and Digestive problems (flatulence) Headache and Fatigue and Mental health disturbances (anxiety, depression, sleep disorder) please can someone advice.

I started tudca yesterday and felt sluggish energy, brain fog, and slight headache. To me, with something that detoxes the liver and breaks down bile sludge it seems almost to be expected that there would be a detox reaction. Not that it kills any pathogens, but the effect is the same with the body suddenly processing more toxins than normal. This isn't to say that this for sure is what you are experiencing. But I'm just saying it seems natural that one could experience synptoms from the extra detox when starting this product. I found this thread because I was examining the exact same question regarding my own experience.
