HEPTOVIT
Liver is the largest and a very important organ of the body, which performs dual role of distribution of nutrients and detoxification. Health relies upon the body's ability to supply nutrients and metabolites to all the body tissues, and at the same time, to dispose of harmful toxins. The liver "screens" material absorbed by the intestine; they may be passed on to the general circulation to be used by the body; they may be used by the liver or may be transformed and inactivated for disposal. Liver is considered to be the chemical factory of the body, as it performs various complex and important functions in the metabolic process.
Liver regulates the metabolism of dietary constituents i.e. proteins, fats and carbohydrates and breaks them down so that the body tissues easily absorb them.
Maintains the blood sugar levels. Liver stores surplus glucose in the form of glycogen and switches from glycogen into glucose to raise blood sugar levels, when energy is required for body functions.
