Sunset Forte® — 60 Capsules

The term alcohol flush reaction, also known as Asian flush or Asian glow, refers to the red face commonly experienced after consuming alcohol. This happens because of a genetic ALDH2 enzyme deficiency common in, but not exclusive to, people of Asian origin.

The functionality of the ALDH2 enzyme is a crucial element in breaking down a toxic metabolite of alcohol called acetaldehyde, and its deficiency causes a toxic buildup whenever alcohol is consumed. This results in a variety of unpleasant reactions that include facial flushing, headaches, nausea and a general feeling of discomfort.

Sunset is formulated to support your body through more than one pathway. Firstly, via glutathione, it supports the deficient ALDH2 enzyme’s natural breakdown of acetaldehyde — the byproduct behind facial flushing. Secondly, it includes ingredients chosen to support a balanced histamine response to the compounds alcohol can leave behind. These mechanisms are designed to work together, with the blend balanced so the ingredients complement one another.

No — and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling you something. ALDH2 deficiency is genetic. Sunset Forte supports your body's natural acetaldehyde clearance to make the flush more manageable; drinking less remains the only proven way to reduce the long-term risks.

Sunset works best if you take 3 capsules 30 minutes before consuming alcohol. You can also take 3 capsules of Sunset while consuming alcohol to support a clearer, less-flushed look.

Yes, you can have Asian flush if you’re not Asian. Despite the large proportion of Asians who suffer from alcohol flush, the term is simply used to describe a condition whereby the alcohol drinker lacks the enzymes needed to break down the acetaldehyde produced when alcohol is metabolised.

This deficiency can occur in anyone and is usually passed down from generation to generation, so if your mother or father has it then chances are you will have it too. Sunset has been used by hundreds of caucasian customers looking to support a clearer, less-flushed look. Read more about caucasians and alcohol flush here.
