I have read (but cannot find the reference) that combination of

Renshen + Chenpi has powerful effects on alcohol metabolism in

experimental alcoholic overdose in lab animals, but also in clinical

trials in intoxicated people.

The combination causes great acceleration of LV metabolism of

alcohol, and returns animals and people to " sober status " much

more quickly than otherwise would be the case (with no treatment).

Can Listers post copies of abstracts on that?

Synephrine at 0.22% = 2200mg/kg = 2.2mg/g in peel powder.

If 60mg synephrine/d is OK, does this mean that the dose of

Chenpi (or Zhike) can be up to 60/2.2 = 27.3g peel powder/day?
