The liver is responsible for detoxification, metabolising & recycling.

The liver protects us from all the toxins we are exposed to on a daily basis. A sluggish liver can cause fatigue & skin problems due to excess toxins circulating around the body.

The liver produces bile to aid digestion & metabolise fats into energy. A sluggish liver is unable to metabolise fat leading to nausea after meals, weight gain & digestive problems.

The liver recycles hormones, ridding excess hormones from the body. A sluggish liver can lead to hormone imbalance.
