The full name of alcohol flush is ALDH Deficiency. People with alcohol flush have inherited a genetic defect that causes a missing enzyme in the digestive system. This enzyme is responsible for breaking down acetaldehyde, which is the real cause of flushing and other side effects after drinking. This means that if you have alcohol flush, at least 1 of your parents has it too!

The Kurihama University Medical Research Center in Japan has published a number of studies directly linking alcohol flush to an increased risk of alcohol-related cancers. They specifically found that people with alcohol flush who continue to drink alcohol, have a 4x higher chance of developing stomach and esophageal cancer. Since our products attack the root cause of this risk directly, we hope to help reduce this risk as well.

Alcohol flush is caused by a genetic defect in your DNA. There is currently no cure that would be able to permanently change your DNA. Our products use the best ingredients available to reduce the symptoms.

Surprisingly, NO! Alcohol is not actually what causes alcohol flush. There are many people with a high tolerance that turn red after only 1 or 2 drinks. There are also many people that get drunk after 1 or 2 drinks but do not turn red.

Akan should be used whenever you are planning to drink alcohol. Parties, business dinners, or even just enjoying a drink at home. The amino acids take a bit to kick in, so drink Akan ~30 min before alcohol.

Akan tastes better cold, so we recommend keeping in the fridge. However, there is no problem with storing boxes at room temperature.

Peach and Soy

These are amino acids which are naturally present in the bodies of every human. You also intake these amino acids when eating meats and fish. Our products use high quantities of these amino acids to directly target the root cause of alcohol flush and boost your digestion.

Akan is sold as a nutritional supplement, but does contain high levels of vitamins and amino acids which will temporarily speed up your metabolism. If you are concerned that this may affect your current medication, please consult a pharmacist.

We work with the best drink manufacturers in Japan. Our drink factory is located in Gifu prefecture.
