The liver cells produce and secrete a yellow green substance called bile which is necessary for the emulsifying and absorption of fat from the small intestine. Bile will lubricate the entire small and large intestine to keep your digestion flowing. Bile is a liquid consisting of water, bile salts, pigments, cholesterol, lecithin, lipids & electrolytes. Bile salts are made by the liver cells from cholesterol which either comes from the diet or is made by the liver. If there is too much cholesterol in the bile, over time the bile will begin to precipitate into gallstones. Healthy production of bile in the liver can be upset by a poor diet & by deficiencies of the amino acid taurine.
A liver that is loved and healthy will make you look much younger!
