RU-21: The "KGB Pill" Get drunk...no hangover
http://www.ru-21.com/ RU-21 is an all-natural supplement that has been clinically proven to regulate alcohol metabolism in order to prevent alcohol-related damage to the vital organs of the body. RU-21 was developed by the scientists at the Russian Academy of Sciences in the course of a 25 year-long research project studying alcohol metabolism. HOW IT WORKS: When alcohol is consumed, it enters cells and is broken down into acetaldehyde. Acetaldehyde is an extremely toxic compound believed to be responsible for both, most alcohol-related diseases and the addictive process itself. The reaction is as follows: CH3CH2OH+NAD+® CH3CHO+NADN+H+ (1) Then an enzyme called aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) converts the acetaldehyde into acetic acid, which is non-toxic and can be readily used by the body to provide energy, eventually breaking down into water and carbon dioxide. However, the body is only able to metabolize a certain amount of acetaldehyde within a certain period of time regardless of how much alcohol is being consumed. Consequently, alcohol consumption often results in excess acetaldehyde entering blood stream and causing severe damage to the vital organs and functions of the body. RU-21 balances alcohol metabolism by slowing down the process of ethanol oxidation into acetaldehyde, so less acetaldehyde occurs in the first place, and then speeding up the process of acetaldehyde decomposition into acetic acid and then water and carbon dioxide. Therefore, alcohol is metabolized more quickly in the body and most people who use the pill do not experience a hangover the next day. The pills are sold at $4.99 for 20 pills from the RU-21 Web site, and consumers are supposed to take two pills prior to or during consumption of every two drinks |

^ nope.
"Labeled RU-21, the supplement was developed by the Russian Academy of Sciences 25 years ago as a top-secret remedy to keep spies sober when they were drinking with potential targets. Yet, the plan did not work as expected. The spies still became intoxicated, and the project files were declassified in 1999, according to Newhouse News Service." http://www.collegian.com/vnews/displ.../3f61471a7c7be |
