Yes: Carbonic anhydrase (CA) is an enzyme which converts carbon dioxide (CO2) to bicarbonate (sodium bicarbonate) and a proton (hydrogen ion.) Resveratrol, catechin, silymarin, and curcumin are natural products known as polyphenols. Resveratrol comes from red wine. Catechin is found in tea. Silymarin is an extract of milk thistle.
