The liver (hepar) is a large & highly important organ, performing over 1,000 known functions, and is essential & necessary for life. The liver has an amazing ability to recover & regenerate itself, even after quite severe injury or damage from disease. The liver is responsible for producing several substances required for blood clotting. The liver metabolises carbohydrate, fat & protein. It produces bile to break down fats & plays a huge part in digestion.The liver stores blood, quantities of some metals required for metabolism, vitamins & minerals. The liver also regulates many varied substances in the blood & “cleans” the blood by breaking down toxins (including drugs) for excretion, also & recycles the useful parts of haemoglobin .
