you know vitamin D is so important for so many things but it’s especially

important for your liver if you have any type of liver problem whether it’s a

fatty liver cirrhosis hepatitis you want to be taking vitamin D and I’m going to

talk about why it’s so important well deliver is a very large organ and

has 500 different functions it’s located on the right upper side right over here

it’s about three and a half pounds and it’s like the size of a football and the

problems you can develop in the liver it’s a fatty liver and inflamed liver

called it hepatitis or fibrotic liver which is a liver filled with scar tissue

we called it cirrhosis typically when people think about liver damage they

think about alcohol but there’s something called a non-alcoholic fatty

liver disease and that can come from eating a lot of sugar and refined carbs

over many many years but a vitamin D deficiency can also cause liver disease

but let’s go through how a vitamin D deficiency can affect different parts of

your liver the main cells in the liver are called hepatocytes the liver cells

and they are antiviral so they have an antiviral effect while vitamin D

increases this antiviral effect why is that important a big cause of liver

damage is hepatitis that is inflammation of the liver caused by a virus then we

have another cell in the liver called estill itself when you take vitamin D it

increases the still it cell to help decrease your risk of getting fibrosis

fibrosis is part of the scar tissue which eventually leads to cirrhosis then

we have the macrophage there are a lot of macrophages in your liver and this is

an immune cell the liver has a huge immune function and the macrophage

releases certain antimicrobial chemicals or weapons and what is called catalase

sidon vitamin D increases this antimicrobial which is going to reduce

inflammation and before vitamin D stimulates that the cytokines that are

anti-inflammatory there are also pro-inflammatory

cytokines cytokines are communications within the immune system that create

different effects number five and this is a really important one vitamin D

increases the T regulatory cells that specific immune cell is responsible for

putting out the fire calming inflammation down in the body stopping

an immune reaction that is being too enthusiastic and creating too much

inflammation and number six vitamin D can enhance the bile production which

also reduces the fat on your liver as you can see vitamin D does a lot for

your liver so if you have any liver problem I would highly recommend start

taking vitamin D in doses about 10,000 IUs to 20,000 IUs every single day
