~ * ZINC ? * ~

Zinc is vital for liver function, is involved in every energy reaction in the body and plays a key role in alcohol detoxification. Red (lean) meat contains high levels of zinc. FOR vegetarians, legumes are good, but for better zinc absorption, add the proteins such as yoghurt or eggs (preferably free range or barn laid) at the same meal!

~ Vitamin ALERT ~

The essential fat-soluble vitamin A, is stored in the liver after absorption! Excessive amounts of this vitamin are toxic to the liver, so it is important we don't have too much. According to the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC), the maximum safe limits of vitamin A for adults is no more than 3000 micrograms per day.
