Bear bile is a substance from the gallbladder of bears. It contains ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), a bile acid that has legitimate medical uses—but modern medicine uses purified/synthetic UDCA, not bear bile.
Traditionally, bear bile has been used for things such as fever, inflammation, liver or gallbladder problems, digestive complaints, and eye problems. However, raw or traditional bear-bile products are not recommended for self-treatment because their strength and purity can vary, contamination is possible, and wildlife products may also have legal or conservation restrictions
