By the way, sofla,

Can you please outline your timeline while using ranitidine, as in how long you wait between taking the medication and drinking? Thanks!

I've tried using NAC, which is a derivative of the amino acid L-cysteine, and did not have great results. NAC by itself did not reduce flushing.

Has anyone tried using niacin in the form of brewer's yeast pills? Or brewer's yeast pills with Pepcid/Zantac? I know that there is already a thread on this, but I wanted to resurrect the topic here. I believe that niacin is supposed to activate the NAD enzyme that neutralizes acetaldehyde.

Happy holidays, everyone!

Sorry to hear, Dalmore. Is AF Reducer, however, the best solution you have tried for alleviating external symptoms? What has been the most effective combination of supplements that you have tried? Antacids and NoGlo worked well for me for a short time before my flushing recurred after a few test runs.

Hey Dalmore,

Wow, that is great news. Thanks a lot for sharing, and congrats on finding something that works for you. I may have to try it now. Seems better than AF Formula, which supposedly only works after a month of daily usage, and it's cheaper too. Will you try to pair it with Pepcid/Zantac?

Congrats! I hope it works for you. I usually get my Pepcid from eBay.

Good to hear, Dalmore!

Yeah, I've been trying to get Acetium to work for me too. Did you also take the Acetium with the antacid an hour or so before drinking? I tried taking Acetium right before drinking and it didn't work for me.

Yup, I just tried Acetium as well. Had 4 capsules and had only a little noticeable flushing. I wonder how 2 Acetium and 2 Pepcid would work.

Hey Dalmore,

Yeah, I've read up on Acetium, and it seems like L-cysteine is the main ingredient. Don't know what else is in it, but the website claims that there is no other product like it on the market. You can readily buy L-cysteine pills for much less, and the pills have more mgs of L-cysteine than Acetium does. However, the fact that it targets acetaldehyde specifically is interesting. NAC, which is a natural derivative of L-cysteine, has been recommended on this forum, and it is a part of my supplementation before drinking.

I've just emailed Biohit, who produces Acetium, and asked them if it targets the Asian flush because they do not mention it on their website. I'll let you know if they respond and what they say.

Hey guys,

So I found somewhere on another blog that Zinc Carnosine may be a viable alternative to Zantac/Pepcid. It helps maintain a stable stomach environment by promoting mucus to line the stomach. It supposedly has no side effects when taken twice per day. Any ideas?

Yeah, NoGlo was a no go for me even after a couple of months of daily usage for some reason. About to purchase some really cheap Alka Balance tablets online and I'll report back with results. I'm not really expecting much at all, but I hope to be surprised!

Hi everyone,
Hopefully there are people who still visit this forum, even after this recent influx of spam messages.

Since I have tried everything from Pepcid AC to NoGlo with inconsistent results, I've been looking for another solution to this problem. Lately, I've found this product which claims to reduce the flush by restoring normal acidity levels in the body.

They're called 7.2 Alkaline Booster tablets.

There's a video on Youtube that explains how the product works. Just look up "Ray Gin Asian Flush" and you'll find it (sorry, but I can't link).

Can anybody verify the science behind it? Seems legit to me and Dr. Ray Gin, who appears in the video, is an actual doctor with credentials whose patients are pretty happy with him, according to Yelp reviews online.

I might just give this a try, but I'm done with spending money on products that don't work.
