Effect of Consumption of Different Foods on the Pharmacokinetics of a Small Dose of Ethanol: A Randomized Controlled, Clinical Trial in Healthy Individuals
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating SOBAR, Control food, and 1 other intervention for Alcohol Use, Unspecified. Completed, enrolled 21 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Alcohol consumption is prevalent and frequently excessive and its use poses a major risk to both personal and public health. In the U.S., every month over 25% of adults and 40% of college students drink until their blood alcohol concentration (BAC) exceeds the legal limit of 0.08% and there is a great unmet need for interventions to help individuals better manage their BACs. Zeno Functional Foods has developed a protein bar, SOBAR, with the aim to control alcohol absorption when eaten prior to drinking. It is hypothesized that the SOBAR will slow stomach emptying resulting in a comparatively diminished peak BAC as well as a more stable BAC-time profile that is both safer and more pleasurable for the drinker.
