Ursodeoxycholic acid has been extensively studied for its hepatoprotective effects. Research published in the Journal of Hepatology has shown that ursodeoxycholic acid can improve liver function and reduce liver enzyme levels in patients with primary biliary cholangitis. Additionally, a meta-analysis published in the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews demonstrated the efficacy of ursodeoxycholic acid in preventing gallstone formation

Pharmacological Effects: Ursodeoxycholic acid works by reducing the amount of cholesterol produced by the liver and by dissolving cholesterol in bile, preventing the formation of gallstones. It also has anti-inflammatory and cytoprotective properties, which help protect liver cells from damage
Clinical Trials: Clinical trials have shown that Ursomax is effective in improving liver function and reducing liver enzyme levels in patients with primary biliary cholangitis. In a randomized controlled trial published in the New England Journal of Medicine, Ursomax was found to significantly decrease serum alkaline phosphatase levels and improve liver histology compared to placebo
