The liver has many important metabolic functions – it converts the nutrients in your diet, including fats, carbohydrates and proteins, into substances that your body can use. It also stores vitamins and minerals and supplies cells with them when needed.

Your liver also has an important detoxifying role – it processes drugs and alcohol and filters toxic chemicals, converting them into harmless substances or making sure they are released from the body.
