• Functional Drink to Beat Alcohol Addiction

  Scientists from ITMO’s Department of Food Biotechnology (Vegetable Stock) together with colleagues from St. Petersburg Institute of Experimental Medicine, and St. Petersburg State University’s Department of Biology are currently working on a functional beverage enriched in biologically active components which can beat alcohol addiction. The project is coordinated by Sergey Eresko, a Master’s student at the Department of Biology at SPbU. According to the developers, the beverage is enriched with plant components, which help to reduce ghrelin levels, and thereby suppress alcohol cravings. The team is going to first test the beverage on animals, and then produce a pilot batch.
