"Your live(r) works hard so you can live"
Acting as the body’s natural filter, your liver handles over 500 functions necessary for survival!
The Liver
The liver is the body’s largest internal organ, weighing about 3 to 3.5 pounds. It is located on the right side of the body, just under the rib cage, and plays a crucial role in keeping the body healthy.
Your liver’s main job is to filter out toxins and process nutrients. It’s your body’s built-in detox system; without it, you wouldn’t survive.
Metabolism Regulation
Your liver processes nutrients, turning carbohydrates into glucose for energy and storing excess as glycogen. It also balances blood sugar levels to keep your energy steady
Detoxification
Your liver cleans your blood by breaking down toxins, chemicals, and waste. Whether it's alcohol, medications, or environmental pollutants, your liver is always on guard, keeping your body clean and balanced.
Bile Production and Digestion
Your liver produces bile, which helps digest and absorb fats. Bile is stored in the gallbladder and is released into the small intestine to break down dietary fats for easy absorption
Protein Synthesis
Your liver produces essential proteins like albumin, which maintains blood volume, and clotting factors, which help prevent excessive bleeding
Storage of Essential Nutrients
Your liver stores essential vitamins (A, D, E, K) and minerals like iron and B12, ensuring your body has what it needs for energy, immunity, and red blood cell production
Immune System Support
Your liver houses Kupffer cells, which help fight infections by filtering out bacteria and viruses from your blood
"Your liver is the only organ with a 'restart' button—treat it right, and it'll keep bouncing back!"
