Hi Andrew
As far as I understand it, they don’t block alcohol absorption at all. The genetically modified probiotic bacteria are designed to break down acetaldehyde in the gut. I wouldn’t expect them to have any meaningful effect on blood alcohol levels.
Only Myrkl is supposed to of the currently available supplements, testing it this week.
Probably been said already but the solution to pollution is dilution 
Myrkl seemed to work really well. I woke up this morning fresh as a daisy after last night’s festivities.
Protocol was:
Before dinner:
1 liter water with waterboy electrolytes
Zbiotics
2 caps Myrkl
After dinner:
5 capsules the wine fix
1 liter of water with waterboy electrolytes
But you took Zbiotics also? I thought it was a potential replacement.
Zbiotics uses genetically engineered bacteria to break down acetylaldehyde while Myrkl is supposed to actually decrease blood alcohol levels; the actions of both may be synergistic.
How much did you drink?
I do think they work but man do you ever think if we are drinking more wine or more supplements at this point? Hahah
I do it too! I’m just sayjn’
It does seem to be excessive countermeasures. Maybe just drink less?
Yeah that’s kind of what I was saying; the whole idea of testing products is to try to reduce the total not add another one, lol.
I aim to drink 1/3 - 1/2 , and spit 1/2 - 2/3.. but of course the more you end up drinking, the more you end up drinking 
Not sure exactly, lots though, it was a blind tasting event and there were probably 30-40 bottles open.
So far it seems to have made a meaningful difference. The different supplements have different mechanisms of action so I think they’re pretty synergistic. I don’t think any more are needed though.
Myrkl ingredients: Fermented Rice Bran, Vegan Capsule (Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose), L-Cysteine, Microcrystalline cellulose, Emulsifiers (Magnesium Stearate, Silicon Dioxide), Dextrin, Vitamin B12, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus coagulans.
Z-Biotics is also a Bacillus Subtilis.
I think he was trying to say they have different genetically engineered mechanisms of action. One has an enzyme to break down acetaldehyde and the other (forgive me if I’m wrong) has some other genetic formulation that breaks down the alcohol itself and prevents it from absorption or ever becoming acetaldehyde. I presume, in combo, if that’s the case that they could be synergistic…as it still says that alcohol does get absorbed even with Myrkyl.
I have been skeptical of these for a while but wasting my time on this forum has made me want to at least try. Honestly, I never drink and feel that badly…except when I have hotpot with friends in the city maybe once every month or two. And I don’t even feel that badly since I know to hydrate. But still, worth a try….and maybe they are good things to have on hand if they are stable.
Yes they are both genetically engineered strains of B. subtilis, but designed to do different things. Not sure why Zbiotics has to be a liquid and Myrkl is a capsule.
Does Zbiotics say anything about refrigeration out of curiosity? Nevermind. They clearly say don’t. Interesting.
How does Myrkl make you feel day of drinking?
I typically don’t have hangovers, but I do get extremely drowsy by drinking. ZBiotic has helped me drink a little bit more before the drowsiness sets in, but I was curious if Myrkl helps with that as well?
I felt fine all night too.
Thanks for answering. For me that is the big data point that seems missing in these anecdotal trials.
