The liver is a vital organ in the body that performs many important functions. It acts like a filter, processing the blood that comes from the digestive system before it travels to the rest of the body. 

Here are some important functions of the liver: 

• Blood Filtration: Filters the blood, removing certain toxins and wastes from it 
• Metabolism: Converts nutrients into energy and regulates blood sugar levels.
• Nutrient Storage: Stores vitamins, minerals, and sugars for later use.
• Bile Production: Generates bile for digesting fats in the small intestine.
• Detoxification: Breaks down harmful substances like drugs and alcohol.
• Protein Synthesis: Produces proteins for clotting, immunity, and fluid balance.
• Cholesterol Regulation: Manages cholesterol levels for various functions.
• Blood Storage: Stores and releases blood as needed.
• Ammonia Conversion: Converts ammonia into urea for safe elimination.
• Regeneration: Can repair and regenerate damaged tissue.

Medicines for liver care should be taken under the guidance of a medical professional. It’s important to consult your doctor before beginning or discontinuing any liver care medications.
