Liver

The liver is one of the largest organs in the body and is involved in hundreds of vital functions. Its daily tasks include filtering toxins from the bloodstream; helping maintain healthy sugar levels; and producing essential nutrients such as bile for fat digestion and albumin for fluid balance. The liver can be impaired by overconsumption of alcohol, processed foods ("Standard American Diet" - SAD), and other inflammatory triggers and toxic inputs, which can lead to problems like fatty liver disease. Liver dysfunction can cause gut issues, skin health issues, hormonal problems, and even serious conditions such as cirrhosis. However, the liver is generally capable of regeneration in response to focused health and lifestyle changes.

Ojas Liver contains a comprehensive, synergistic blend of high-quality botanical extracts and natural health ingredients that may help support healthy liver function.
