The liver is one of the body's most important organs, which plays a role in maintaining the body's overall health and metabolism. The liver has many different functions that make it important for digestion, metabolism, immunity and regulation of blood composition.

Main functions of the liver:
Detoxification: The liver filters and removes toxins from the blood, including metabolic waste products, drugs, alcohol, and other harmful substances. It breaks them down into less harmful compounds that are excreted in urine or bile.

Involvement in nutrient metabolism: The liver plays a central role in nutrient metabolism. It helps convert carbohydrates into glucose, which is stored as glycogen for energy. It also processes fats and proteins, helping with digestion and making nutrients available to the body.

Bile production: Bile is a fluid produced by the liver that is important in the digestion and absorption of fats and fat-soluble vitamins in the small intestine. The liver secretes bile into the gallbladder, where it is stored until it is needed.

Breakdown and storage of vitamins and minerals: The liver stores significant amounts of vitamins and minerals, including vitamins A, D, E, K, and B12, as well as iron and copper. This ensures that the body has readily available supplies of these essential nutrients when needed.
