We have been studying the effects of Alkontrol-herbal for nearly 20 years for its ability to reduce alcohol consumption. We conducted a NIH funded clinical trial of Alkontrol-herbal versus placebo. 
 
Before the study started, the participants drank an average of 35 alcoholic beverages per week and abstained from drinking, on average, 1.8 consecutive days. After only 3 weeks of treatment with Alkontrol-herbal, the number of drinks dropped to ~10 per week (Figure 1) and the participants extended the number of consecutive NO drinking days to 4 in a row (Figure 2). 
 
Participants wore a wrist actigraphy watch to record their sleep/wake activity and they could press a marker button whenever they had a drink or took the double-blind medication. The analysis of these data revealed that the pattern of drinking was affected by Alkontrol-herbal. Figure 3 shows the sleep/wake activity and actual drinks consumed (arrows) over a three-day weekend by a typical participant at Baseline and during the 4th week of treatment with Kudzu. Note that the number of binge drinking days was decreased and the number of drinks per binge was also smaller. The red dots represent the times when the Kudzu dose was taken. These positive outcomes occurred with no reported side effects. A full report of all study results was published in a scientific journal*.
