Documented Uses

• Main constituent of the bile of herbivorous animals; [Merck Index] Functions as a detergent to solubilize fats for absorption and is absorbed itself; [ChemIDplus] Used as a Ph control agent for foods; [FDA]
• Gastrointestinal agents that stimulate the flow of bile into the duodenum (cholagogues) or stimulate the production of bile by the liver (choleretic).
• Purifying or cleansing agents, usually salts of long-chain aliphatic bases or acids, that exert cleansing (oil-dissolving) and antimicrobial effects through a surface action that depends on possessing both hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties.
