Your Liver Performs Over 500 Different Functions
Scientists estimate the liver performs more than 500 distinct functions, making it one of the most complex organs in the human body.
Some of the lesser-known roles include:
- Breaking down hormones such as estrogen and insulin
- Producing bile, which helps digest fats
- Storing vitamins and minerals like vitamin A, vitamin B12, iron, and copper
- Helping regulate blood sugar levels
- Producing proteins that allow blood to clot
Because the liver is involved in so many critical systems, even small liver problems can affect energy levels, digestion, hormone balance, and immune health.
