Go back in history as far as you can, and you'll find that faithful gatekeepers played key roles in defending the world's most important people. The tradition continues today. These stalwart individuals stand guard against any harm or danger that may threaten the very lives of those they are charged to protect.

We discover the same principle at work within our own bodies. The liver is a large organ that is critical in protecting the body from harmful substances. It serves as an attentive gatekeeper to the heart, preventing any harmful compounds from reaching the body's most important organ. As a key component of the body's detoxification process, a properly functioning liver also assists all other body organs and systems in performing better.

Ensuring that this faithful gatekeeper has the nutrients and support it needs to function properly can provide the safety and security our bodies need to feel their best.

Liver Essentials? contains several key ingredients that have been well researched and carefully examined. This proprietary U.S. patent-pending formula combines these cutting-edge ingredients into an effective formula targeted at making sure that the liver has the support it needs to be a powerful protector of the body's health.*

When the liver operates efficiently and effectively, all other body organs and systems run more smoothly. The liver, which plays a crucial role in detoxification, carefully guards the heart, ensuring that harmful compounds are removed from the blood before ever reaching that critical organ. In addition, the liver works closely with the lungs, skin, colon, and kidneys in the process of eliminating waste materials, another important element of health and wellness.*

Research Brief

 

Activities of the Liver

The heaviest gland of the body, the liver, weighs about three pounds in the average adult and is the second largest organ of the body. (The skin is the body's largest organ.) The liver is responsible for many vital functions.

The liver plays an essential role in maintaining normal blood glucose levels. When blood glucose levels are low, the liver kicks in and breaks down glycogen to glucose and then releases it into the bloodstream.

The liver also is able to convert certain amino acids, lactic acids, and other sugars, such as fructose and galactose, into glucose. The liver also breaks down fatty acids into acetyl coenzyme A (a process called beta oxidation), stores triglycerides, and converts excess acetyl coenzyme A into ketone bodies (ketogenesis). In addition, the liver synthesizes lipoproteins, which transport fatty acids, triglycerides, and cholesterol to and from various body cells.

The liver plays an essential role in protein metabolism, which includes important processes such as transamination, synthesizing plasma proteins, and converting toxic ammonia into urea, a much less toxic substance, which is excreted in the urine. The liver also absorbs bilirubin and secretes it into bile, which is then metabolized in the intestine by bacteria and eliminated from the body through bowel functions. The liver also serves as a storage facility for vitamins A, B12, D, E, and K, as well as copper and iron. Iron is released from the liver when it is needed throughout the body.
