Does Spicy foods Affect TUDCA?

Amount or timing may matter

The short answer

TUDCA protects the GI mucosa and bile acid balance. Capsaicin-stimulated excess gastric acid and mucosal irritation may reduce TUDCA's protective efficacy.

How to arrange timing

Take TUDCA at least 2 hours apart from spicy food.
