The liver is the organ that performs many functions in the human organism and because of this it can get overburdened.
Its main function is “to filter the blood coming from the digestive tract, before passing it to the rest of the body” .
Among the many important and complex functions that the liver has, are the following ones:
To manufacture proteins, including albumin and blood clotting factors;
To synthesize, store, and process fats, including fatty acids and cholesterol;
To metabolize and store carbohydrates;
To form and secrete bile that contains bile acids to aid in the intestinal absorption of fats and the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K;
To eliminate the potentially harmful biochemical products produced by the body;
To detoxify, by metabolizing and/or secreting, drugs, alcohol, and environmental toxins.
