Answer to Question 1

T

Answer to Question 2

Any of the B vitamins will help the liver and kidneys function optimally since the B vitamins, as a group, function as co-enzymes in chemical reactions that help the cells obtain ATP energy. Also minerals such as zinc and magnesium will also help the liver and kidneys since these minerals work closely with enzymes to help them function more efficiently. The liver cells perform an astonishing amount of different detoxification reactions which involve many enzymes. These enzymes will function optimally with help from the B vitamins, zinc, and magnesium. The kidney cells have transporter proteins that require energy in order for the kidneys to remove wastes from the blood to be put into the urine.
