The liver’s main function is to break down the toxins that get into your blood. While this may seem simple, your liver is constantly working -- and working HARD -- to improve digestion, expel toxins, process fats and assimilate essential nutrients to all other organs, tissues and bones. Your liver is a fundamental part of vibrant, lasting health, which is why it's so important to take time to send love back to your liver. Cleansing an over-processed liver is a great way to allow it to revitalize, so it can function at its best again, and again, and again.
