Comprehensive Liver Care
The Liver is a significant internal body organ that works 24 hours a day to ensure that the body remains healthy. Weighing in at a little more than a kilogram, it is the largest internal organ, as well as the largest gland of the body situated in the upper right abdomen below the diaphragm. The liver performs over 500 functions that are vital to life. Some of them are:
| Detoxification: |
The liver filters and cleanses the blood, converting toxins into safer forms for removal. |
| Metabolism: |
The liver processes carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. It stores glucose as glycogen for energy. |
| Bile Production: |
The liver makes bile, stored in the gallbladder, which helps digest fats in the small intestine. |
| Storage: |
Important nutrients like vitamins, minerals, glucose, and glycogen are stored in the liver. |
| Blood Clotting: |
The liver produces proteins necessary for blood clotting, preventing excessive bleeding. |
| Immune Function: |
It aids the immune system by removing harmful substances like bacteria and viruses from the blood. |
The liver's crucial functions are vital for maintaining overall health and well-being.
