What is RU-21?
RU-21® is an
all-natural supplement that has been clinically proven to regulate
the metabolism of alcohol to protect the body from acetaldehyde damage and effectively cure hangovers before they start.
How RU-21 Works
RU-21 neutralizes the effects of acetaldehyde by regulating the
metabolic process of alcohol in the body. RU-21 slows down the
process of ethanol oxidation into acetaldehyde so less of it
occurs to begin with, and then speeds up the decomposition of
acetaldehyde and acetic acid into harmless water and carbon dioxide.
What is Acetaldehyde?
Acetaldehyde, also known as ethanol, is more toxic than alcohol
and is responsible for many hangover symptoms. Acetaldehyde is
an air pollutant, emitted by cars and certain production facilities.
It is also contained in tobacco smoke. It is classified as a
probable carcinogen.
The most harmful effects of alcohol use
are caused by the metabolite products: acid and acetaldehyde.
Alcohol by itself has few harmful effects. Acetaldehyde can damage
cells, thereby slowing down the rate at which the acetaldehyde
is metabolized. In the liver, acetaldehyde disturbs the protein
metabolism, resulting in protein accumulation and extra expansion
of the liver.
Asians are particularly affected by a genetically
determined acceleration in the production of acetaldehyde relating
to the ALDH2 gene, which can result in tachycardia, transpiration,
headache, paleness and nausea after the consumption of only small
quantities of alcohol. Women have slightly lower levels of the
ADH enzyme than men, so they are also more prone to the toxic
effects of acetaldehyde.
The past use of Antabuse as a possible deterrent
to drinking was based on the ability of Antabuse to inhibit the
action of acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, thus slow down or stop
the destruction of acetaldehyde. If one drank after taking Antabuse,
they got very ill.
How Alcohol Affects the Body
Alcohol is oxidized in the liver, where ethanol (grain alcohol)
is oxidized into ethanal (acetaldehyde) and finally to acid.
Excessive consumption of alcohol dumps high concentrations of
acetaldehyde in the blood stream, leading to lowered blood pressure,
more rapid heartbeat, and other uncomfortable symptoms... the
Hangover. Over time these effects can lead to cirrhosis of the
liver and other health problems. The body is only able to metabolize
finite amounts of acetaldehyde within certain periods of time
regardless of how much alcohol is being consumed. Consequently,
alcohol consumption often results in excess acetaldehyde entering
the blood stream, causing severe damage to the vital organs and
functions of the body.
Where was RU-21 Developed?
RU-21 was developed by the Russian Academy of Sciences in the
course of a 25 year-long research studying alcohol metabolism.
How Long has RU-21 Been
on the Market?
RU-21 has been on the market in Russia since 1999. It was recently
introduced in the United States in 2003.
Is it Safe?
RU-21 has not been shown in studies to cause any side effects.
No cases of any side effects have ever been reported.
Who Uses RU-21?
Health-conscious adults who are concerned about balancing the
benefits and risks of moderate alcohol consumption.
Does RU-21 Encourage Excessive
Drinking?
No. In fact, RU-21 has been shown in clinical trials to reduce
alcohol cravings, which occur due to acetaldehyde's effect on
the central nervous system. In addition, surveys have shown that
individuals who use RU-21 become more educated about alcohol
metabolism and as a result tend to consume alcohol more responsibly.
What RU-21 Does Not
Do
RU-21 does not prevent alcohol inebriation. RU-21 is not a license
to binge drink and should not be counted upon to prevent health
consequences of excessive alcohol consumption and/or improve
the ability to operate a vehicle while intoxicated.
How to Take RU-21
For best results RU-21 should be taken shortly before and/or
during alcohol consumption. One serving per two alcoholic beverages.
Take before and/or during alcohol consumption.
