The liver is your body's largest and most important organ. It acts as a filter by trapping toxins that have entered the body through digestion, the skin, or respiration.
The liver naturally protects against alcohol, pollutants, and other forms of toxins, and replaces lost liver cells by regenerating new ones.
Therefore, promoting and maintaining the liver's functions is essential to overall well-being.
