00:40and helps flush them out. 3. Digestive juicer, your liver makes bile from cholesterol to break
00:45down fats and fat-soluble vitamins. Bile travels to your gallbladder, then your small intestine.
00:504. Nutrient hub, it processes and stores nutrients from your food, like iron, folate, and vitamins A,
00:57D, and B12, and sends them where needed. 5. Food filter, it removes toxins from digested food.
