Bile is not an enzyme. It is stored in the gallbladder, a small pear shaped sac attached to the under surface of the liver. When the gallbladder gets clogged (by stones or sludge) it can lead to right upper abdominal pain or biliary colic. Pancreas...
Digestion: Stomach acid and enzymes mix to continue breaking down nutrients. Partially digested food is then passed into the small intestine where it is further broken down by enzymes from the pancreas and bile from the liver. This stage is where most of the nutrient absorption occurs. In the...
The gallbladder releases bile, which is produced in the liver and stored in the gallbladder. It’s responsible for breaking up large fat molecules for easier digestion. The pancreas also releases enzymes that neutralize acids and help break food into simpler nutrients. ...
Made up of three segments—the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum—the small intestine is the workhorse of digestion. This is where most nutrients are absorbed. It'sa long tube loosely coiled in your abdomen (spread out, it would be more than 20 feet long). Peristalsis is also at work here, ...

This is a reply to # 331,494 Bile salts are steroids with detergent properties which are used to emulsify lipids in foodstuff passing through the intestine to enable fat digestion and absorption through the intestinal wall. They are secreted from the liver stored in the gall bladder and passed...
, which along with the pancreas and liver, plays a key role in digestion. The pancreas produces pancreatic enzymes that are delivered into the small intestine and are connected with protein, carbohydrate, and fat digestion. The liver and gallbladder produce bile acids essential for fat digestion....
Here's how I reversed my fatty liver without drugs, crazy exercises, or starving myself, and you can too.
digestive system so it’s unable to be absorbed. Soluble flax fiber also traps bile, which is made from cholesterol in the gallbladder. The bile is then excreted through the digestive system, forcing the body to make more, using up excess cholesterol in the blood and therefore lowering ...
