“…Activated vitamin B3 used intravenously has also helped alcoholics quit drinking [5]. Niacin amide, a safer form of the same vitamin [6], might have similar actions and has been reported to improve alcohol metabolism in animals [7]. Deficiencies of other Bcomplex vitamins are common with chronic alcohol use [8].…”

Abstract:The level of alcohol in the blood is a problem not only for health but also for motorists during the driving. The search for dietary supplements capable of reducing the rate of alcohol was hectic and different products with dubious quality have been put on the market. In the present work, 60 healthy male individuals were subjected to two tests. The first included the administration of 15 mL of concentrated commercial mixture of vitamins and antioxidants called Citoethyl (CTH), 40 minutes prior drinking 80 mL of pure ethyl alcohol diluted in 200 mL of water. The second test was performed by administering 15 mL of concentrated CTH, 40 minutes after drinking 80 mL of pure ethyl alcohol diluted in 200 mL of water. The amount of alcohol ingested corresponded to 1600 mL of beer ( 5% v/v alcohol) or 535 mL of wine (15% v / v alcohol) or 200 mL of liquor (40% v / v alcohol). The breath alcohol test was performed on each individual in six ranges of time from the administration of alcohol. We report in this work that there is a net reduction of the breath test value for alcohol resulting from the intake of CTH, in all the conditions used for experimentation. Not guaranteeing the results presented for higher doses of alcohol and for a too short period of time of administration of the CTH. The present work does not pretend to suggest a product for making drunk driving safer, but simply reports the experimental data on a mixture of vitamins and antioxidants, that show its qualities in reducing the rate of breath alcohol levels in healthy subjects.
