Sponsor's own description
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.
