Is that really weird? I take lactase enzyme which was far as I know was originally extracted from cow intestines (until they developed a better method using yeast).
There's also a lot of interest in fecal transplants for people with digestive issues.
So, while I've never heard of ox bile supplement it doesn't seem unreasonable that it would work. Rejecting it out of hand because of the name is kinda silly. You should listen to your girlfriend here, it sounds like she's more educated on this topic than you are.

- ifyoubuildit 4y agoIt seems like something to maybe do a little research on rather than taking the first one that randomly shows up on your doorstep though. Also a lot of people are hesitant to put anything into their bodies from Amazon, though with supplements I think a lot of it tends to be bullshit filler materials anyway.
- esperent 4y agoAmazon doesn't even exist where I live but I can still find most supplements. Your point about doing research before taking any supplement is good common sense though.
- noduerme 4y agoI don't ever take anything without at least making a concerted effort to understand the pharmacology of what I'm ingesting. So I'm at one end of the spectrum. She's more at the other end where "they wouldn't sell it if it was bad for you." It leads to some interesting conflicts. Admittedly, we're at opposite extremes...
