The liver is a very important organ and gland in our body – it has over 500 roles it fills on an ongoing basis! Technically classified as part of the digestive system for its roles in producing bile and other nutrient-digesting substances, it also produces proteins and detoxifies wastes for removal from the body. 
Here are some of the other roles of the liver –  

• Produces bile for the absorption of fats, cholesterol and fat-soluble vitamins

• Filters all our blood and removes and recycles old red blood cells

• Stores and releases carbohydrates as glycogen to regulate blood sugar and energy levels

• Filters out toxins and wastes, like alcohol, drugs, caffeine, hormones and excess cholesterol

• Regulates blood clotting and blood pressure

When the liver isn’t functioning optimally, it may show as symptoms of difficulties with the gallbladder and fat absorption, excess estrogen or cholesterol, or low iron levels. When it’s really in trouble, liver diseases such as cirrhosis, hepatitis, or cancer may manifest.
