I do not see how the ingredients of Alcolim could possibly affect AL cravings:

SODIUM PYRUVATE
ASCORBIC ACID
MAGNESIUM OXIDE
LACTIC ACID
CHROMIUM GLUCONATE

Anyone??

John ,As I found here is the ingredients....Please share the idea,

Alcolim is highly bio-available to ensure it is quickly taken up by the brain where all components synergistically exert their pharmacological effects restoring balance and normal function to the cerebral cortex. Alcolim contains: Pyruvate, Ascorbic Acid, Magnesium Oxide, Lactic Acid and Chromium Gluconate.



SODIUM PYRUVATE: Pyruvate is derived from glucose. It is metabolised in the liver and modulates the signals the liver sends to the brain relating to the metabolic status of the body. From clinical studies pyruvate, in specific concentrations, is thought to act on the hypothalamus to increase serotonin levels consequently inhibiting the intake of carbohydrate-based food / drink, whilst decreasing noradrenaline which stimulates their intake. This results in a reduced craving for carbohydrate based food and drink. Alcohol is largely carbohydrate based, and the result is a reduced craving of alcohol. Because Pyruvate also has an anti-stress effect this may also help relieve cravings for alcohol when connected to stressful situations.



ASCORBIC ACID: Ascorbic acid helps protect the brain from oxidative stress (excessive formation of damaging free radicals). It can also help reduce the toxic effects of alcohol. Higher levels of Ascorbic acid in the brain than are generally found in the body are required to achieve this protection. In addition it modulates the neurotransmitters in the brain.



MAGNESIUM OXIDE: In the brain, too much Ascorbic acid inhibits the ability of magnesium to create the right environment both in the brain fluid and in brain cells for neurons to thrive and communicate. Too much magnesium will reduce neuron activity acting much like a natural tranquiliser. For healthy neuron activity to take place, magnesium must be allowed to do its job. If, however, there is too much Ascorbic acid, this also affects the ability of Magnesium to work efficiently and creates an imbalance. Magnesium Oxide has been added to Alcolim to balance both the extracellular and intracellular ion levels.



LACTIC ACID: Pyruvate can be converted into Lactic Acid by the enzyme lactic acid dehydrongenase. Therefore to ensure that the pyruvate remains stable, Lactic acid is added in very specific quantities to help prevent the pyruvate from transforming back into lactic acid. As a secondary effect lactic acid will also help eliminate toxic acid substances from both the brain and the liver tissue that have accumulated during chronic alcohol abuse.



CHROMIUM GLUCONATE: Chromium is essential for maintaining normal glucose metabolism and utilisation. Chromium assists insulin to transport glucose into a cell and also it is involved in the utilisation of sugar for conversion into energy in a cell. The importance of chromium is based on its vital role in the activities of several enzymes. Chromium levels in the body tissues deplete as we age, particularly in the brain and liver. The consequences of a decreased level of chromium are associated not only with impaired glucose utilisation but also with the decreased production of some lipids (fatty substances such as cholesterol, cerebrosides, etc?) which are essential for the normal functioning of the cerebral cortex and the brain in general. Chromium gluconate has been added to Alcolim to increase the production of myelin and components of the nervous cell membranes that become damaged during any chronic consumption of excessive quantities of alcohol. In addition it will improve the utilisation of glucose by the brain, which is vital for the production and the activity of some neurotransmitters, such as gamma-aminobutyric acid. This is one of the key neurotransmitters and it is profoundly depleted in people suffering from alcohol abuse.

Hi John,
If you would not mind can you confirm that those ingredients are really helpful to fight with craving as per your knowledge.As when I ask Alcolim you gave me the combination .....You must be more familiar with the stuffs that we take help to reduce AL craving ! I don't know if these ingredients are available on Baclofen etc.
I have plenty of Baclofen that I had ordered and stoped to intake when I felt too much lethargy.
Thanks for your info..
