Bile in the small intestine is very important for the digestion and absorption of fats from the foods you eat. When we eat, a hormone called cholecystokinin (CCK) is released by cells in the small intestine which triggers the release of digestive enzymes from the pancreas and bile from the gallbladder that then enter the small intestine to help with food digestion.
Bile formation and flow are both important in healthy gallbladder function. Bile formation without bile flow is not beneficial and can even become dangerous if bile is constantly being formed but cannot exit the gallbladder or duct system.
