5Reduce Alcohol-Induced Damage
Excessive consumption of alcohol would have harmful effects on the liver and other organs. Heavy drinkers can be at a higher risk of three forms of liver damage. These include alcoholic cirrhosis, alcoholic hepatitis, and fatty liver. Studies have shown that glycine might prevent inflammation and reduce these damaging effects. Also, the substance can encourage the metabolism of alcoholic drink in the stomach instead of the liver. This would lower alcohol concentrations in the blood and reduce the risk of alcoholic cirrhosis or fatty liver. More importantly, glycine can even reverse liver damage due to excessive alcohol consumption. [5]
