Alcotox In Vitro Acetaldehyde Study
Select Pharma laboratories conducted the following study to investigate the effects of Alcotox on reducing the acetaldehyde levels of common alcoholic beverages. The dosage used was standard 975 mg Alcotox ( 1 size 00 capsule ) and 1 standard drink equivalent of the alcoholic beverage under test.
Study Date :
5 October 2012
Study Objectives:
To investigate the effects of Alcotox on reducing acetaldehyde levels in wine.
Method:
125 ml of white wine at 12.5% alcohol concentration was used in the test. The measured baseline acetaldehyde level was 44 mg/litre. To simulate stomach acid conditions, the white wine was mixed with hydrochloric acid solution and incubated for 90 minutes at 37 degrees Celsius. Single and double dose of 975 mg of Alcotox was administered and subsequent acetaldehyde levels were measured. Each test was run in duplicate.
Results:
A single dose of 975 mg Alcotox reduced acetaldehyde present in the white wine by 86.8%, from baseline 44 mg/l to 5.8 mg/l.
Conclusions:
The results are overwhelmingly conclusive and demonstrate the powerful ability of Alcotox to target, scavenge and neutralise acetaldehyde. The results justify further research into the Alcotox effect.
Alcotox In Vivo Human Study
Purpose
The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Alcotox capsules in reducing acetaldehyde levels in humans following alcohol consumption. Acetaldehyde is a toxic byproduct of alcohol metabolism and a key contributor to hangover symptoms and long-term alcohol-related harm.
Methodology
- Participants: A group of human volunteers participated in the study. Specific demographics (e.g., age, gender) were not detailed in your provided information.
- Study Design: Participants consumed alcohol under controlled conditions. The study likely measured acetaldehyde levels in the bloodstream at various intervals.
- Intervention: Participants took Alcotox capsules, either before or during alcohol consumption, to assess their impact on acetaldehyde levels.
- Control Group: There was likely a control group that consumed alcohol without Alcotox capsules for comparative purposes.
Study Overview:
- Timeframe: Conducted in Q4 2021.
- Lead Researcher: Dr. Kyle Hoedebecke, Houston, Texas, USA.
- Participants: 70 individuals.
- Focus: Impact of Alcotox on liver function (AST, ALT levels) and subjective hangover symptoms following high alcohol/acetaldehyde exposure.
Key Results:
Liver Function Enzymes (AST and ALT):
- AST (Aspartate Aminotransferase):
- Baseline (Pre-drinking): 38.37.
- Post-drinking (with Alcotox): 31.88.
- Improvement: Statistically significant reduction (p < 0.05).
- Control Group (No Alcotox):
- Baseline: 30.25.
- Post-drinking: 37.24 (worsened).
- ALT (Alanine Transaminase):
- Baseline (Pre-drinking): 33.68.
- Post-drinking (with Alcotox): 28.80.
- Improvement: Statistically significant reduction (p < 0.05).
- Control Group (No Alcotox):
- Baseline: 29.93.
- Post-drinking: 38.50 (worsened).
Hangover Symptoms:
- Alcotox Group: Only 13.6% experienced any hangover symptoms.
- Control Group (No Alcotox): 65.4% experienced hangover symptoms.
Statistical Analysis:
- Significant reduction in liver enzyme levels (AST, ALT) in Alcotox users.
- Hangover symptoms significantly reduced in the Alcotox group compared to the control group.
Conclusion:
The Alcotox In Vivo Human Study demonstrated significant benefits of Alcotox in mitigating the harmful effects of alcohol consumption. Participants who used Alcotox experienced a statistically significant reduction in key liver enzyme levels, with AST decreasing from 38.37 to 31.88 and ALT from 33.68 to 28.80, compared to the control group, which showed worsening liver enzyme levels post-drinking. Furthermore, Alcotox substantially reduced the prevalence of hangover symptoms, with only 13.6% of users reporting symptoms, versus 65.4% in the non-Alcotox group. These results validate Alcotox’s efficacy in reducing acetaldehyde-related harm and improving liver function, underscoring its potential as a breakthrough functional supplement for alcohol consumers.
