Liver & bile

The liver, our largest organ (approx. 1.5 kg), is a major chemistry laboratory. It produces bile, which is necessary for an undisturbed fat digestion 600ml per day. Part of it is stored in the gallbladder and released from there if necessary. Apart from the gall production (digestive support), the liver meets many other tasks. All substances ingested with the food are passed through the liver after decomposition in the gastro-intestinal tract and there subjected to a further processing. What the body do need is filtered out and transmitted via the blood system. What the body does not need or even harm him will be modified so that it can be excreted safely. The liver is therefore our detoxification center. Also it is a production organ (such as proteins of the blood clotting system) and a storage organ (for protein, glycogen storage form of glucose, trace elements such as iron and copper, vitamins). Overloading the liver and disorders of bile secretion and bile drain can show up in general performance, apathy, weakness and fatigue, discomfort in the upper abdomen (especially after the high-fat meals), abdominal pain, colic, heartburn, bloating, flatulence. Alcohol, fat food, medicines (in large quantities), and environmental toxins are the biggest enemies of the liver!

Why is a liver cleanse important?

The liver is the body’s most important detox organ. It’s responsible not only for detoxification but also for overall cleansing. Depending on your lifestyle and the resulting strain on the organ, your liver can become overloaded over time. The consequences for your well-being can be severe. The tricky part is that the signs of an overtaxed liver often appear late and are very unspecific. Persistent fatigue, for example, can be a symptom. A targeted regimen can help prevent overload and support greater performance.

Support the liver’s natural functions

With a focused program, you ease the burden on the liver and support its natural role in fat metabolism. The liver plays a key role in fat digestion. On the one hand, it ensures that enough bile acids are available for fat digestion; on the other, it also helps burn sufficient fat. A healthy liver therefore contributes to individual weight management. It’s also the body’s enzyme hub. 

Overloaded liver can promote illness

By supporting your liver, you not only enhance its well-being, you also help prevent the development of disease. If the liver isn’t working properly, toxins can place a burden on the blood. As a result, the body is less efficiently supplied, and harmful by-products as well as metabolic waste are not removed adequately. The consequence can be congested, sticky connective tissue. If connective tissue doesn’t function properly, this may affect every single body cell, which then may no longer receive sufficient nutrients.
