Abstract

Physiological gallbladder contraction, delivering bile salts during meals, plays a key role in digestive mechanisms. A bicarbonate-alkaline water (Uliveto) shows a positive effect on gallbladder kinetics: so it may be useful in order to improve dyspepsia due to delayed gallbladder emptying.
