The liver is responsible for over 500 functions in the body. When the liver becomes over burdened by toxins, many other organs and functions of the body become impaired. The liver is responsible for breaking down and metabolizing nutrients so they can be used for energy. It regulates blood sugar levels, contains immune cells, and removes excess hormones. Your liver also stores and converts vitamins into their active forms. In other words, when the liver is healthy, your body is more likely to thrive.
