The liver is a remarkable multi-tasker. It detoxifies blood; regulates glucose, protein and fat metabolism; stores A, D and B vitamins; and produces key enzymes and hormones.

The liver is the body’s central chemical plant, filtering blood and removing toxins, storing sugars and lipids and producing proteins such as albumin and those that are involved in blood clotting. The liver also produces most of body’s supply of cholesterol (the rest comes from food).
