Liver

The liver is the main detoxifying organ of the body, but at the same time, reactions related to the breakdown of nutrients and the production of substances necessary for the functioning of the body take place here. Alcohol, drugs and metabolic products are broken down here and the liver is also important for hormonal balance. High intake of fats, especially unsaturated fats (fried foods are particularly problematic), alcohol, food additives and obesity are harmful to the liver.

Among dietary supplements, those that promote liver detoxification and regeneration of liver cells and protect liver cells from the effects of toxins, free radicals and other influences are particularly important. Some also act through epigenetic means against diseases affecting the liver, such as fibrosis, cirrhosis, fatty liver. Supporting cell signalling and mitochondrial function of liver cells is also important.
