and you liver/bile – 60 capsules

The liver and bile play important roles in the human body. Your main tasks are:

Liver:

1. Metabolism: The liver is the central organ for metabolism in the body. It converts nutrients from food into energy and stores them for later use.
2. Detoxification: The liver filters harmful substances from the blood, including metabolic waste products and toxic chemicals. These are converted into less toxic compounds and excreted.
3. Storage of nutrients: The liver stores various nutrients, such as glycogen (a form of sugar), vitamins and minerals, which the body can release when needed.
4. Production of proteins: It produces important proteins such as albumin (for blood pressure and fluid balance) and coagulation factors (for blood clotting).
5. Production of bile: The liver produces bile, which is stored in the gallbladder and is needed for the digestion of fats in the intestine.

Bile:

1. Emulsification of fats: Bile contains bile salts that break down fats into smaller droplets to facilitate digestion and absorption in the intestine.
2. Storage and release: The gallbladder stores the bile produced by the liver and releases it when high-fat food enters the small intestine.
3. Neutralization of gastric juice: Bile helps to neutralize the acidic gastric juice when it enters the intestine to create the optimal environment for digestion.
4. Transport of bilirubin: Bilirubin, a breakdown product of hemoglobin from red blood cells, is excreted from the liver into the bile and finally removed from the body via the intestine.

Together, the liver and bile play a crucial role in digestion and metabolism in the human body. They also help to detoxify and maintain the balance of various nutrients.
