The liver's functions are: • Stores iron reserves, as well as vitamins and minerals • Makes bile to help digest food • Detoxifies poisonous chemicals, including alcohol, beer, wine, and drugs - prescribed and over-the-counter as well as illegal substances • Stores energy by stockpiling sugar (carbohydrates, glucose and fat) until you need it • Makes your blood • Manufactures new proteins • Makes clotting factors to help blood clot • Removes poisons from the air, exhaust, smoke and chemicals we breathe. Here is some information to how it works. Ninety per cent of digest food goes straight from the small intestine to the liver, where the liver process it before sending it into the bloodstream. Of these, the liver stores carbohydrates and some vitamins (like B12) from your meals and releases them throughout the day so that you have a constant source of energy available for cellular functions. The fat that is sent with this food is broken down by the liver using bile acids it produces. as th fat is broken down, fat soluble vitamins (like A, D and E) are released from the fat and sent into the bloodstream. The liver also alters proteins that come in this food, so they are the perfect size and composition for accomplishing their purposes.

It helps to keep the blood clean and it helps the body to fight infections and to get rid of poisons.
