Gallavance Original — Full Ingredient Profile
Formulated for those comfortable with animal-derived bile salts. Ox bile provides bile acids structurally similar to human bile. Combined with digestive enzymes and phospholipids for comprehensive fat digestion support.
Active Ingredients (per 2-capsule serving)
| Ingredient | Amount | Role |
| Ox Bile Extract | 500 mg | Bile acid support for fat emulsification |
| Lipase | 6,000 FIP | Fat-digesting enzyme |
| Lecithin (Phospholipids) | 200 mg | Fat emulsification support |
| Protease | 25,000 HUT | Protein-digesting enzyme |
| Amylase | 5,000 DU | Carbohydrate-digesting enzyme |
Who Might Prefer Original
- No dietary restrictions regarding animal-derived ingredients
- Looking for bile salts structurally similar to endogenous human bile
- Interested in the combination of bile acids, enzymes, and phospholipids
Gallavance Plant-Based — Full Ingredient Profile
Formulated without animal-derived ingredients. Uses botanical extracts studied for their role in digestive function, combined with enzymes and phospholipids — all in the same delayed-release delivery system.
Active Ingredients (per 2-capsule serving)
| Ingredient | Amount | Role |
| Artichoke Extract (Cynara scolymus) | 400 mg | Botanical studied for bile-related digestive function |
| Dandelion Root Extract (Taraxacum officinale) | 300 mg | Botanical traditionally used for digestive support |
| Lipase | 6,000 FIP | Fat-digesting enzyme |
| Lecithin (Phospholipids) | 200 mg | Fat emulsification support |
| Protease | 25,000 HUT | Protein-digesting enzyme |
| Amylase | 5,000 DU | Carbohydrate-digesting enzyme |
Who Might Prefer Plant-Based
- Vegetarian or vegan dietary preferences
- Preference for botanical ingredients
- Looking for non-animal-derived bile support
What Both Formulations Share
- Delayed-release capsules: Designed to survive stomach acid and release in the small intestine — where bile naturally acts
- Digestive enzymes included: Lipase specifically for fat; protease and amylase for broader digestive support
- Phospholipids: Support the emulsification process that makes fats accessible to enzymes
- Same price: $74.99 — we don't charge more for plant-based
- Same quality standards: cGMP-manufactured, third-party tested, full ingredient disclosure
How to Choose
Your dietary preferences usually make the decision straightforward. If you eat animal products and want bile salts structurally similar to human bile, Original is the natural starting point. If you're vegetarian or prefer botanicals, Plant-Based was formulated for you.
Both are backed by the same testing, the same manufacturing standards, and the same transparency commitment.
Still not sure? Start with whichever aligns with your dietary preferences. Track how you feel over 2-4 weeks. Discuss with your healthcare provider.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is one more effective than the other?
They're different approaches, not a hierarchy. The right one for you depends on your dietary preferences and how your body responds. Some people try both and develop a preference based on personal experience.
Can I switch between them?
Yes. They're independent formulations. Switching is a matter of preference. If you're transitioning from Original to Plant-Based (or vice versa), treat it like starting a new supplement — begin with the lowest dose and assess tolerance.
Why are they the same price if the ingredient profiles differ?
We set prices based on what it costs to make great supplements and run a transparent company — not on ingredient-by-ingredient cost accounting. Plant-based doesn't mean budget. Original doesn't mean premium. Both are premium.
