I get asked the same questions about BodyBio products almost every week, so I figured it was time to put it all in one place. This BodyBio FAQ covers some of the products I recommend most — PC, Butyrate, and TUDCA — and answers the questions you’re probably already thinking. I’ll keep adding to this list over time, so check back if you don’t see the product you’re looking for yet.
Here’s the honest truth: I don’t recommend a product unless I’ve dug into it myself. God built our bodies to heal and repair when we give them the right raw materials, and these are some of the best tools I’ve found for doing exactly that. I use them, my family uses them, and I hand them out to clients because I’ve seen what happens when the gut and the cells finally get what they need.
Why I Trust the Quality
Every BodyBio product on this list is made in-house in Millville, New Jersey, and tested by outside labs before it ever reaches you. You won’t find fillers, artificial colors, or unnecessary additives in any of them, and they’re free of the common troublemakers — wheat, gluten, yeast, corn, soy, and dairy. I don’t say a product is high quality unless I’d hand it to my own family, and this is one I hand out without hesitation.
Now let’s get into the specifics on each one.
BodyBio PC (Phospholipid Complex)
How Much Do I Take, and When?
Start with 2 softgels or half a teaspoon of the liquid each day, taken with food. Once you know how your body responds, you can slowly increase the amount to fit what you’re working toward.
The liquid gets into your system a little faster since your body doesn’t have to break it down first. The softgels work great too, especially if you’d rather not deal with a spoon. Take it around the same time every day — that consistency matters more than the exact hour on the clock.
When Will I Start Feeling a Difference?
It’s working from the very first dose. Your phospholipid levels start rising right away, but rebuilding your cells is a slow, steady process, not an overnight one.
Most people start noticing clearer thinking, steadier energy, and less brain fog somewhere between weeks two and four. Give it a full six weeks before you decide how it’s working for you. Your cells are being rebuilt one at a time, and that takes a little patience.*
BodyBio Butyrate
Quick heads up before you start: BodyBio Butyrate has a strong, fermented smell. That’s not a flaw — it means there’s nothing masking or diluting the butyrate, and it’s doing exactly what it’s supposed to do.
How Much Do I Take, and When?
Take 1 to 2 capsules with food, one to three times a day. If your gut is sensitive, start with just 1 capsule and build up slowly from there.
When Will I Start Feeling a Difference?
Some people feel a difference within the first few days, since your gut cells start getting fuel directly. It’s normal to notice a few changes in your bowel habits that first week too — your gut is adjusting, and it typically settles on its own.*
By the two-week mark, digestion usually starts to smooth out, with less bloating and more regular, comfortable trips to the bathroom.* Between weeks two and four, your gut lining keeps getting stronger and healthy bacteria start reestablishing themselves.*
Past four weeks, the benefits move beyond digestion — better immune function, less inflammation, and an overall healthier gut structure.*
How Does It Help with Allergies?
Butyrate doesn’t only work in your gut — it affects how your whole immune system responds to the world around you. It helps calm down overactive mast cells, strengthens your immune tolerance, and lowers inflammatory signals in your lungs, sinuses, and gut. When your butyrate levels are low, your immune system can get trigger-happy and start reacting to everyday things it normally wouldn’t. Keeping your butyrate levels up helps your immune system respond in a calmer, steadier way from the inside out.*
BodyBio TUDCA
BodyBio TUDCA is a highly bioavailable bile acid that helps:
- Promote healthy bile flow and digestion*
- Protect liver cells from stress and damage*
- Support balanced liver enzyme levels*
- Aid in detoxification and fat metabolism*
- Support removal of fat-soluble toxins*
How Much Do I Take, and When?
Take 1 to 2 capsules with food, one to three times a day. Taking it alongside a meal that has some fat in it helps your body put it to work right away, supporting bile flow and fat digestion when you need it most.*
If you don’t have a gallbladder, taking TUDCA with food is especially helpful for keeping digestion comfortable.
When Will I Start Feeling a Difference?
In the first two weeks, you may notice fatty meals sit better as your bile flow starts to improve.* Between weeks two and four, many people see better liver function, more stable blood sugar, and healthier gut bacteria taking hold.*
Past the four-week point, TUDCA starts working on a deeper level. Researchers describe it as a chaperone molecule — it helps proteins in your cells fold correctly and protects your cells from stress, including in the brain and nervous system, since it’s able to cross the blood-brain barrier. This is an area of ongoing research, and studies on this deeper cellular support have run anywhere from a few months to well over a year, so give it time and stay consistent.*
