Nutricology - Ox Bile 100 Vegetarian Capsules 52633

I read the reviews and one in particular stood out in my mind I made the purchase anyway and I realized that the review they wanted to detail saying that his high blood pressure went up he was absolutely correct I have been experiencing very very high blood pressure and it's only when I take one of these pills and I was really scared and I realized that it was because whatever is in these pills brings your high blood pressure up dangerously high I will never purchase again this product it does work it does stop you from bloating It does make you feel good from for a digestion and all of that but whatever is in it causes your high blood pressure to go up so I stopped taking it and I was taking it for a while and I was happy I had no bloating and I could go to the bathroom I'm so sad because you know when you're working on your health and your checking your high blood pressure and that's what I do all the day so I must say if you have high blood pressure not to purchase this and even if you don't have it take it anyway take your numbers and see what they are very sad.

Whether u have gallstones or you’ve had ur gallbladder removed , ox bile is a God send. Ever since I had my gallbladder removed a year ago I suffered with major stomach attacks. Every 3 to 4 weeks, I would have severe, sharp stomach pains and I would be throwing up a minimum of 5 times during these attacks. I couldn’t even hold water down. The pain was absolutely excruciating , lasting about 7 hours. I didn’t know how I could live with these constant stomach attacks. And on top of that, the next day I would be absolutely exhausted and drained and I couldn’t do anything the second day. So after doing extensive research, I bought ox bile a couple months back and I haven’t had one attack since. If you are unsure about purchasing these, don’t be. They saved my life. I’m on my second bottle now. And I will continue to buy them as needed.

Let me first state that I have no criticism of the product itself; however, I would recommend to anyone trying ox bile for the first time to try the 125mg capsule first (also sold by Nutricology on Amazon). I started taking the 500mg after reading that it helped with bloating post gall bladder removal. It did do that, but was just too potent for me, even with merely one capsule a day with dinner. I was concerned there was some sort of reaction with the digestive enzymes and probiotic I also take daily, which I have had great success with and never any problems, but everything I read said each person much figure out the right combination of these products in order to receive the benefits of them. I had also read so much about the benefits of ox bile post gall bladder removal that I ordered the 125mg capsules. I now take one capsule twice a day, with meals, sometimes a third with my morning meal if I have more than my usual oatmeal or hard boiled egg, and my body is tolerating it just fine. After only a few weeks I have already seen some of the positive results I had hoped to see. UPDATE - 8/23/12 I wanted to provide an update as to my experience with ox bile 125mg and 500mg. I previously indicated my most problematic issue post-gallbladder removal has been severe and constant bloating. Now, I have it almost completely under control, in large part due to the ox bile. I think for those of us without a gallbladder the most important things to consider when using an ox bile supplement it to take it whenever you eat ANYTHING [along with digestive enzymes], and DOSAGE, and everyone is different. Now that I seem to have it under control I have lost @ 4-5 pounds [most of which was water weight], which being 5'1" is a lot, and even if I do get some bloating [as I still do miscalculate the dose I need] it is minimal and I am able to get rid of it without having to take a water pill, as I used to have to do. After experimenting with dosages I have found the following works for me: 2 - 125mg tabs [250 mg total] with most meals at the beginning or shortly into the meal 1 - 125mg tab with a light meal or snack. 1 - 500 mg tab with high fat meals [almost exclusively at dinner] or if I am drinking anything with alcohol. If I have a few glasses of wine or a couple beers, I will take an additional 250 mgs with any additional beverage [along with digestive enzymes] As a side note, my mom, who is 82, takes 1 500 mg a day [still has her gallbladder] and has lost 12 pounds, doing nothing different. So, get both doses and experiment with the dosing based upon what you eat. The results are worth it! I still have occasional stomach discomfort if I take too much, but its a small price to pay to get rid of the bloating.

I have no gullbladder as most people taking this don't, it has other uses like digestion for people with a gull bladder but for me its been amazing, instead of immediately running to the washroom after any greasy/fried meal I take one or two caps 15 or so minutes before a meal and I'm saved from gut ache and not have to use the washroom before the end of the meal. Amazing supplement, its worth the money but still pricey.

I take it after a fatty meal to make my digestion easier. No more bloating or feelings of heaviness when I take this. Works great for me, I just wish that the price was a little lower, but still a pretty decent deal overall compared to some other brands.
