Official Patent for ALKAA Press Release

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ALKAA Secures U.S. Patent for First-of-Its-Kind Alcohol-Filtration Sachet

Patent No. 12,435,301 Recognizes Breakthrough Technology for Reducing Noxious Compounds in Alcoholic Beverages

Monroe, NY — October 7, 2025 — ALKAA, a New York–based company pioneering toxin-capture and filtration innovations for alcoholic beverages, today announced that it has been granted U.S. Patent No. 12,435,301 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office for its proprietary in-glass alcohol-filtration sachet. This milestone marks the creation of an entirely new product category, offering consumers a way to enjoy wine, beer, and spirits with fewer of the unwanted compounds linked to alcohol intolerance.

The newly issued patent protects ALKAA’s multi-media adsorption technology, which removes significant amounts of several classes of naturally occurring noxious compounds — including acetaldehyde, histamines, sulfites, tannins, tyramines, pheylethylamine, quercetin, and other trace byproducts associated with flushing, headaches, congestion, and next-day fatigue. The patent establishes ALKAA as the first patented alcohol-filtration sachet in the world, providing strong intellectual property protection and a substantial competitive moat as the company expands internationally.

“When I first created ALKAA, I didn’t realize how many people struggled with alcohol intolerance,” said Paul Lagerstedt, Co-Founder, Inventor, and CEO. “Most people I speak with tell me they don’t feel well after they drink — and it’s not because they’re over-drinking. This patent validates years of work and confirms that ALKAA is solving a real global problem. We’re excited to help people enjoy alcohol again without the discomfort many have come to expect.”

Originally developed by Paul Lagerstedt during the pandemic as a personal experiment to make wine enjoyable again, ALKAA quickly evolved into a broader wellness innovation. When the sachet is placed in a glass of wine, beer, or spirits, it captures multiple noxious compounds before consumption — without altering flavor, aroma, or character. Early testing has also shown meaningful reductions in glyphosate in red wine.

“This is a major milestone for us as we reinvent what it means to enjoy alcohol in a new era of wellness and awareness,” said Sara Lagerstedt, Co-Founder and COO of ALKAA. “Consumers want to feel good while still enjoying the drinks they love. ALKAA makes that possible.”

Founded in 2023, ALKAA is dedicated to providing consumers with a cleaner, smoother, and more enjoyable drinking experience — helping people drink in moderation without sacrificing the next morning. Already available internationally through alkaa.com, the company is now expanding distribution and pursuing licensing partnerships around the world.
