Because ALDH2 Deficiency is genetic, there is no 'cure' to permanently fix this enzyme in our liver. However, there are many lifestyle things we can do to enjoy the best life possible. Here are things we can do to lower the level of acetaldehyde in our body: Limit alcohol consumption (highest concentration of acetaldehyde). Minimize exposure to air pollution and cigarette smoke. Reduce intake of coffee, sugary foods and beverages. Take a daily vitamin supplement (e.g., Essential AD2) to boost the activity of the mutated ALDH2 enzyme and clear everyday acetaldehyde levels in the body.
