Benefits of technology

[0018] The second objective of the present invention is to provide an ingestible substance that facilitates metabolic conversion of alcohol to amino acids.
[0020] The fourth objective of the present invention is to provide an easy to take dosage that changes bodily alcoholic content into a harmless, perhaps even beneficial, amino acid.
[0022] The sixth objective of the present invention is to increase the alcohol degradation capacity of an individual.

Problems solved by technology

No reliable statistics exist for worldwide liquor production and consumption because of unreported household production, wide variations in alcohol concentrations of various liquors and under reporting.
Thus, there is concurrence that human consumption of alcohol sensibly and in moderation is associated with better health and longer life, the abuse of alcohol is associated with many undesirable health outcomes.
The problem is that alcohol taken in large amounts becomes a toxin.
And when there is regular over consumption of alcohol, all of the protective effects are destroyed and there is a higher risk for all kinds of health problems, including the most immediate one: a hangover, including, but not limited to, a pounding headache, nausea, dry mouth, shaking hands, hypersensitivity to bright lights and sounds.
However, when an excess amount of alcohol is consumed, the nutrients required for the conversion to acetic acid are depleted, and acetaldehyde stays in the system and wreaks havoc on the body.
One of the most damaging activities of acetaldehyde is a process called cross-linking, which “binds up” molecules and hinders normal function.
The results are dehydration, plummeting blood sugar levels, nutrient deficiencies and cellular damage to vital organs, such as, the liver.

example 1

[0059] In processing plants for poultry and animal products, it is customary to use various water treatment processes, such as a scalding tank, spray bath, final rinse and chill water tank. The scalding tank is used to dip poultry prior to the removal of feathers; other animals are dipped to remove the outer coating of fur or hair. The scalding process permits cross contamination and spread of pathogens. It is important for the safety of the human food supply to provide an additive that can be used in water treatments to inhibit the growth and spread of pathogens and deleterious bacteria. The ideal additive would not evaporate at boiling point temperatures, would not be destroyed by high temperatures and would not be bound by organic material, such as blood and feces and rendered useless.

[0060] The effect of PHB0020 on pathogenic, indicator, and spoilage populations of bacteria associated with broiler chicken carcasses in a poultry scald water application is determined in one embod...

Preparation of Hangover Remedy Drink

[0071] A mixture of the composition of the present invention having approximately 1.2 mg / l of PHB0020 was prepared at room temperature; using the formulation in Table II below. It is understood by persons skilled in the art that variations in the amount of each ingredient are within the scope of the present invention. Thus, a reasonable range of ingredients, within ±5% of the stated value, can be used to adjust taste and desired effectiveness. The PHB0020 ingredient is used in a range of 0.5 mg / l to 5.50 mg / l.

Recovery of Pure Ethanol

[0077] Five samples of 100% pure ethanol, 100 milliliters (ml) in each sample, were measured into a glass beaker. A precursor of the anti-intoxication composition of the present invention was prepared with concentrations of PHB0020 in a range from 0.01 mg / l to 0.05 mg / l. The results are shown in Table III below. Readings of the percent recovery were made after initial contact of the ethanol sample with the anti-intoxication composition of the present invention.

Abstract

An anti-intoxication composition and method of making and using are provided for treating and preventing drinker's remorse and other toxic effects of excessive alcohol consumption by humans. The anti-intoxication composition is an acidic mixture containing sweeteners, flavoring agents, food additives and a processed mixture of metallic salts, sulfuric acid, ammonium sulfate and water. When the anti-intoxication composition is ingested, it promotes the beneficial metabolism of alcohol, primarily ethanol, in the body. The beneficial metabolism results in the conversion of alcohol to amino acids and eliminates the toxic reactions of a hangover, including, but not limited to, a pounding headache, nausea, dry mouth, shaking hands, hypersensitivity to bright lights and sounds.

Description

[0001] This invention claims the benefit of priority from U. S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60 / 547,991 filed Feb. 26, 2004.FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] This invention relates to an anti-intoxication composition for combating the side effects of an excessive consumption of alcohol, and in particular, a composition, method for making and using the composition to effectively change the harmful effects of alcohol metabolism in vivo. BACKGROUND AND PRIOR ART [0003] Alcohol, specifically ethyl alcohol or ethanol, produced by fermenting the starch or sugar in various fruits and grains, has been a part of human civilization from the moment man figured out how to make it. Beverages produced by fermentation and distillation include beer, usually about 5% alcohol, wine, usually 12 to 15% alcohol, and hard liquor, which is approximately 45% alcohol or higher. No reliable statistics exist for worldwide liquor production and consumption because of unreported household production, wide varia...
