Urea and ammonia are released as a breakdown product from protein consumption. If urea and ammonia build up in the body because the kidneys are unable to eliminate them, for example, serious symptoms can result. Liver function could also play a part.
Good kidney and liver function are very important to removal of urea and ammonia because ammonia is a central nervous system toxin.

There are many things we can do to try and improve our liver function – including loosing weight, saunas, more fiber and drink plenty
