The liver is the primary organ that helps to detoxify our bodies. It converts and neutralizes metabolic products and toxins into soluble and safe byproducts that can be eliminated by way of the urine or bile. Toxins enter the body through the skin, respiratory tract and digestive tract. Will the intestinal immune system is not functioning properly or there are mechanical barriers to proper digestion, such as leaky gut, there can be enhanced uptake of toxic compounds.

Impaired detoxification can lead to:
