Liver Health Bundle
The liver is the largest organ in the body, consisting of two lobes located under the rib cage in the right upper abdominal cavity. It is primarily responsible for breaking down and removing toxins from the body as bile. A healthy liver also helps regulate the production and breakdown of fats, proteins, sugars, starch, blood clotting factors, and immunoglobulins.
