Features: The liver is a vital organ in the human body for biochemical metabolism. Substances such as carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, vitamins, and hormones undergo decomposition and synthesis metabolism in the liver to provide energy. At the same time, the liver also has functions such as secretion, excretion, biotransformation, and immune regulation to maintain normal life activities. The liver comes into contact with toxic substances that may be present in the diet every day. Additionally, factors such as environmental pollution, alcohol consumption, medications, viruses, bacteria, and chemical toxins can easily cause liver damage and lead to diseases.
