OVERVIEW
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.
ACCEPT
NO SUBSTITUTES OR IMITATIONS
Following
its U.S. launch in 2003 RU-21 received coverage in hundreds of leading
newspapers, magazines, and TV and radio stations in well over 100 countries,
becoming the world’s most publicized dietary supplement.
Naturally,
success of RU-21 resulted in dozens of copycat products being rushed
to market. Many of them blatantly deceive consumers by claiming superior
efficacy because of a number of added ingredients.
The
truth is that adding a bunch of extra ingredients, even if they have
demonstrated benefits of their own, DOES not automatically enhance the
formula that has a specific biochemical purpose. If it did, why not
use multivitamins for every need?
In
fact, adding ingredients that have no history of clinical testing on
account of interaction with alcohol may result in an adverse biochemical
reaction that could cause significant harm to a consumer.
RU-21
is a product of many years of research. Its clinically proven efficacy
rests on synergistic effects of carefully combined ingredients in meticulously
calculated amounts.
HOW
IT WORKS - RU-21 INGREDIENTS
To assist the body in processing alcohol, ingredients in RU-21 enable
certain biochemical reactions that enhance enzyme functions of the body,
while oxygenating the cells, keeping the energy levels up and metabolic
pathways running properly.
RU-21 is a dietary supplement. All ingredients are considered
GRAS (Generally Regarded As Safe) by the USFDA.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C activates anti-oxidant systems of the central nervous system,
liver and hormone-active tissues and supports the adrenal gland cortex,
which produces anti-stress hormones.
Succinic
and Fumaric Acids
Succinic and Fumaric acids are substrates which are crucial to alcohol
metabolism, and important in the Krebs cycle. Succinic and Fumaric acids
boost the aerobic oxidation process in mitochondria by activating the
second half-cycle of tricarboxylic acids. Succinic substrate, which
is independent of NADH-dehydrogenase, prevents the toxic byproducts
of ethanol metabolism from causing hypoxia, which often results from
the accumulation of suboxidized metabolites, and from impeding NADH
oxidation in the respiratory chain of cells.
L-Glutamic
Acid HCL
L-Glutamic Acid HCL speeds up the mitochondria-cytosolic malate-aspartate
shuttle, which plays a key role in the course of toxic byproduct development.
It also speeds up the succinate oxidation process (by preventing oxalic
and acetic inhibition of succinate dehydrogenase). In addition, it transforms
itself into a-ketoglutarate during a rapid oxidation in the Krebs cycle.
The proper concentration of L-Glutamic Acid HCL positively influences
glutamate and GAMC synapses in the brain, improving coordination and
inhibition processes.
Vitamin
B2
Vitamin B2 is essential for the metabolism of carbohydrates (to produce
energy) and amino acids. It also helps keep mucous membranes (such as
those lining the mouth) healthy.
Riboflavin
is further needed to activate vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), helps to create
niacin and assists the adrenal gland.
Vitamin
B6
Vitamin B6 is needed for the synthesis of neurotransmitters such as
serotonin and dopamine. These neurotransmitters are required for normal
nerve cell communication.
Vitamin
B6 increases oxygenation of tissues by helping the body produce hemoglobin,
which is responsible for carrying oxygen to tissues within red blood
cells.
L-cysteine
L-cysteine is an important amino acid that supports numerous functions
in your body. Persons with compromised immune function (the young, the
elderly and people exposed to pollutants) can benefit from L-cysteine
supplementation due to its immuno-protective and antioxidative effects.
L-cysteine can enhance immune system function and maintain optimal health.
L-cysteine supplementation may be most effective when used in conjunction
with vitamin E, vitamin C, vitamin B6 and calcium and selenium.
Alpha
Lipoic Acid
Alpha Lipoic Acid serves as a coenzyme in the Krebs cycle and in the
production of cellular energy. It neutralizes free radicals in both
the fatty and watery regions of cells.
Alpha-Lipoic
Acid also plays an important role in the synergism of antioxidants.
It directly recycles and extends the metabolic lifespans of vitamin
C, glutathione, and coenzyme Q10, and it indirectly renews vitamin E.
Alpha
Lipoic Acid is widely used as a therapeutic agent in a number of conditions
in which oxidative damage has been implicated.
Dextrose
/ Glucose
Dextrose slows down the ethanol oxidation process into the toxic byproducts
of ethanol. Dextrose rapidly oxidizes in cytosol of liver cells, and
uses the same cytosol NAD pool used by ethanol to convert into the toxic
byproducts, thus creating a deficit of cytosol NAD needed for the reaction
and slowing the conversion process.
