5. Glycine Aids the Liver

The liver is essential to many of the body's fundamental functions, and glycine is known to promote a healthier one. Studies in rats have shown that glycine can be particularly useful to those to indulge in alcohol more than the recommended amount -- the amino acid reduces the accumulation of bad cholesterol, free fatty acids, and triglycerides in the blood, liver, and brain. Glycine can also slow the damage caused by liver injuries or disease.
