Compositions and methods for reducing blood alcohol content

Abstract

Disclosed are compositions and methods for reducing blood alcohol content following alcohol consumption. The inventive compositions and methods rapidly reduce blood alcohol content and alleviate symptoms of intoxication in a subject having an elevated blood alcohol content due to alcohol consumption.

1 . A method of reducing blood alcohol content in a subject having an elevated blood alcohol content, the method comprising: providing an effective amount of  Bifidobacterium  to the subject, providing an effective amount of  Lactobacillus  to the subject, and providing an effective amount of NAD+ to the subject, wherein the subject's blood alcohol content is reduced. 
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising providing zinc or vitamin B to the subject. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising providing an antioxidant to the subject. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 3 , wherein the antioxidant is Coenzyme Q10 or vitamin E. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising providing zinc, Coenzyme Q10, vitamin E, and vitamin B to the subject. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein 5-15 mg of NAD+ is provided to the subject. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein 25-100 billion cfu of  Lactobacillus  is provided to the subject. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein 25-100 billion cfu of  Bifidobacterium  is provided to the subject. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the  Lactobacillus  comprises  Lactobacillus  GG,  L. acidophilus  DDS-1,  L. casei, L. plantarum, L. salivarius, L. rhamnosus,  or  L. brevis.    
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the  Bifidobacterium  comprises  B. lactis, B. longum, B. infantis,  or  B. bifidum.    
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the NAD+ is provided to the subject before the  Lactobacillus  and  Bifidobacterium  are provided to the subject. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the NAD+ is provided to the subject 10-50 minutes before the  Lactobacillus  and  Bifidobacterium  are provided to the subject. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the  Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium,  and NAD+ are provided in a single composition. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the  Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium,  and NAD+ are provided in more than one composition. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the  Lactobacillus  and  Bifidobacterium  are provided to the subject before the NAD+ is provided to the subject. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the  Lactobacillus  and  Bifidobacterium  are provided to the subject 10-50 minutes before the NAD+ is provided to the subject. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the subject's blood alcohol content is reduced by 10-50% within 10-40 minutes after providing NAD+,  Lactobacillus,  and  Bifidobacterium  to the subject. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the  Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus,  and NAD+ are administered orally. 
     
     
         19 . A composition comprising  Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium,  NAD+, vitamin E, and vitamin B. 
     
     
         20 . The composition of  claim 19 , wherein the composition further comprises zinc and Coenzyme Q10.
