Why should I worry about my liver?
    The liver is absolutely critical to a person’s well being. A person’s nutritional level is not only determined by what he or she eats, but by what the liver processes! Unfortunately, it is extremely difficult to detect early warning symptoms specific to liver imbalances. Since the liver is such a “forgiving” organ, it can withstand a myriad of abuse before finally giving up the fight. It is difficult to diagnose when the liver is not in order, and frequently one is unaware of it because the liver is the single organ that doesn’t hurt when something is wrong with it. People can suffer for a long time from a liver ailment without even knowing it!

What Does The Liver Do?
• Processes all food and (most) drugs we ingest
• Stores energy by stockpiling sugar until needed
• Manufactures new proteins
• Produces clotting factors for the blood
• Makes bile to aid in the digestion of food
• Stores iron reserves, as well as vitamins and minerals
• Detoxifies the body of poisonous chemicals, including alcohol and drugs
• Removes poisons from the body that are accumulated from exhaust, smoke, and chemicals in the air we breathe

FACT: The liver is the body’s primary anti-pollution organ, in charge of removing toxins from the bloodstream; in fact, it filters nearly 2 quarts of blood every minute!!

The Liver’s Many Functions
    Among the liver’s critical functions are regulating blood sugar levels, deactivating hormones so their levels aren’t too high, supplying the immune system with antibodies, producing blood- clotting factors, and helping to oxygenate the body!

The Liver and Digestion
    To improve digestion, try Liver Support! The liver has multiple functions, but its main function within the digestive system is to process the nutrients absorbed from the small intestine. It then takes the raw materials absorbed by the intestine and makes all the various chemicals the body needs to function! It’s like the body’s very own chemical factory! The liver is responsible for metabolizing fats, carbohydrates, proteins, and many vitamins, along with producing bile, a critical liquid that breaks down fats and carries away waste products! Don’t forget, the liver also detoxifies potentially harmful chemicals you ingest in foods or drugs!
