Re: H2 Blockers (Tagamet, Pepcid, Zantac, Axid)

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.

I've seen the video and I've tried Alkaline tabs of other brand.  It only reduced flushing by about half.  In other words, it didn't work.

Thanks a lot, Dalmore. But reducing flushing by about half sounds a little promising to me, since everything else seems to be hit and miss. Maybe if I can find some cheap alkaline tablets I'll try it out.

NoGlo reduced it about half for me so this may not do much for you if that was your result with NoGlo.  But if you have the funds to try it, let us know how it goes.

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 battlingnelson,

We are sorry that your results with NoGlo were not satisfying and we would be happy to answer any of your questions. We are currently in a clinical trial demonstrating the reduction of blood acetaldehyde (cause of Alcohol Flush Reaction) following alcohol consumption. We look forward to sharing those results on this forum and being the first to document a quantitative reduction of Alcohol Flush Reaction and its symptoms to provide a healthier lifestyle option for those with AFR.

Hi NoGlo team,

Thanks for your response! I know that many people have found success with your product, but, unfortunately, I'm still looking for something that works for me.

I'm looking forward to reading the results of your trial, and thanks for all of the work you do for all those who suffer from AFR.

Re: H2 Blockers (Tagamet, Pepcid, Zantac, Axid)

Hey guys,

I have been dealing with the asian glow problem for a while now and i went to a college and was in a frat where we drank everyday. So i have a lot of experience in this. Since 5 years ago I have been doing the pepcid ac max trick. I have found that if I don't eat an hour before and take 2x pepcid ac max pills it works like a charm. The only problem is that I can't eat on it. I have been able to have about 10-15 shots a night and not have a problem with it. I do get sick sometime but that is probably because I drank one too many shots. I am always in the situation where I am drinking for upwards of 6-8 hours or sometimes two times a day. When that happens I take 2x when I start drinking then after I eat I take 1 more. It usually works but I have not really experimented with it, maybe i will soon. BTW i usually drink goose or jameson, use to do tequila but mexico really made me not like tequila.

I do want to point out though that at one point my thyroid measurement was way high and i stopped drinking for a month and i went back down. I guess it is a trade off.

I am going to try to do that noglo supplement and see if it does the trick. I really want to figure out what can be the cure for this problem because being a business man it is hard to pass up a drink with my clients.

If anyone has any experience with pepcid ac and eating on it please let me know. I'm hoping that the combination of pepcid ac and noglo will work for eating and drinking. That is the only problem for me to fix.

Re: H2 Blockers (Tagamet, Pepcid, Zantac, Axid)

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?

Sorry my bäd english, i hope Acetium heps you and i hope it will be in asian market in few years.

You have to take 1-2 before drinking and max. 10 caps. During night in you drink a lot.

Hello miksu68,

Thanks for your post! And don't worry about the English, you communicated your message well. Can you say that Acetium does, for a fact, get rid of the Asian flush? If so, that is great! It is available here in the US, fortunately, and I hope that it shows up in Asia soon as well.

Re: H2 Blockers (Tagamet, Pepcid, Zantac, Axid)

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.

Re: H2 Blockers (Tagamet, Pepcid, Zantac, Axid)

Acetium is a unique patented product, which releases the cysteine in the stomach, not too late as the normal cysteine. In this case, asetium to bind the acetaldehyde in the stomach. Me and my friends used to Acetium hangover prevention.

I have looked at the Biohit, it is a small bioyritys, which is focused on the research and abdominal symptoms of stomach cancer prevention. Biohit is just starting operations in Asia, so I do not know whether the tested "the flush".
The product should work because it reduces the acetaldehyde in the sole product.

Test the product and comment on the forum.

Re: H2 Blockers (Tagamet, Pepcid, Zantac, Axid)

Hey guys, wanted to give another update. I wrote about my experiences a few pages back: both Pepcid & Zantac works for me and have helped me for several years.

Something happened to my body chemistry in the past year. I used to turn beet red after a beer, used Pepcid for 7 years, and most recently made an interesting discovery =o

I spent almost a year working in France, living in a hotel, and have fallen asleep to many bottles of wine. I ran out of Pepcid at some point, and began having as much as one bottle by myself towards the end of my stay. I found that I was able to drink that much while maintaining a pink glow--what used to take 20mg Pepcid  a few years ago.

I can stay pink with around 1 drink every half hour. Any more than that and I'd split a 10mg tablet, and take ~5mg for insurance.

You guys won't believe the confidence this gives me, to walk around without a pill in my pocket when I go out for a beer with my co-workers. I asked a chemist friend and she gave me the "you might've developed the enzyme for breaking down the alcohol." Maybe someone can give some insight on this.

And that has been my journey so far. Does anyone else have a similar story?

Hey vagrantblue,

Thanks for sharing your story with us. I have heard of some flush sufferers who seemed to have developed the active enzyme after drinking regularly. Didn't think it was true, however. That's great! I've read that drinking a beer every night before going to bed works to some extent. Might have to try it out.

I tried Acetium.  It only works for about half reduction of flushing.  Still better than NAC though.

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.

You can take 10 caps/ day. If you use pepsid or zantac, for your health is better to take acetium with those. Acetium prevent stomash cancer.
