Innovative Protein Gel Reduces Alcohol Absorption in Mice

Developed from whey, iron, and gold, the gel converts alcohol into harmless acetic acid before it enters the bloodstream.

The gel is designed to break down alcohol in the digestive tract, preventing it from reaching the liver.
Tests on mice showed a significant reduction in blood alcohol levels and less liver damage.
The gel's key components include whey protein, iron, and gold, which facilitate the conversion of alcohol to acetic acid.
Researchers are seeking a patent and planning clinical trials to test the gel's effectiveness in humans.
While promising, the gel is not a cure-all and does not address alcohol that has already entered the bloodstream.
