In humans, nutrition is mainly achieved through the process of putting foods into our mouths, chewing and swallowing it.Nutritional supplement, is a preparation intended to supplement the diet and provide nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, fiber, fatty acids, or amino acids, that may be missing or may not be consumed in sufficient quantities in a person's diet.
Hepatobiliary
"The hepatobiliary system refers to the liver, gall bladder and bile ducts – organs that are involved with the production, storage, transport and release of bile, a secretion that prepared fats for further digestion.
There are numerous conditions that can harm the hepatobiliary system, some of which are life-threatening and ultimately, require surgery and/or liver transplantation. Liver damage can occur from a variety of sources: infections with viruses (hepatitis A, B, and C viruses), exposure to toxic drugs or chemicals, excessive use of alcohol, genetic disorders , diabetes, heart failure, cancer and shock. Some of the signs and symptoms of liver disease include:
1. jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eye)
2. pruritus (itching)
3. dark, tea-colored urine
4. weight loss
5. muscle wasting
6. ascites (swelling of the abdomen with fluid)
7. fatigue
8. easy bruising and bleeding (bleeding gums or frequent nosebleeds)
9. vomiting blood
10. blood in the stool (bright red blood or black, tar-like stool)
11. mental confusion
In many cases, the liver is able to repair itself; in others, a variety of treatments may be effective. However, if liver damage is severe, the organ may not recover, resulting in liver failure which is life threatening. Once this happens, the patient may need a new liver."
