What causes a hangover?
When you drink, it's your liver's job to pull the alcohol out of your bloodstream, break it down, and discard it. The break down happens in two stages and during second stage, alcohol is transformed into Acetaldehyde, the toxin that causes hangover symptoms. When you go to bed, your body is fighting this toxin. And because alcohol is a diuretic, your body is dehydrated and low on B-Vitamins. Your liver is also not working efficiently because of the overtime break down work it's been putting in. While you're sleeping, your brain goes into overdrive and produces an excessive amount of a natural stimulant called Glutamate, which Alcohol (a depressant), has been suppressing. This process is called Glutamate Rebound and leads to a restless sleep and anxiety when you wake up. 

 

1 DHM (Dihydromyricetin)

2 NAC

NAC, or N-Acetyl Cysteine, is an amino acid used to build anti-oxidants that protect the liver and reduce inflammation.

3 Full B-Vitamin complex

Alcohol is a diuretic. Activate DHM gives your body a full B-Vitamin complex to replenish the nutrients you’re losing while you drink, and urinate. You’ll notice all the extra vitamins leaving your system when your urine is bright yellow the next morning. But no worries, this is normal and completely harmless.

4 Milk Thistle 

Evidence exists that milk thistle may be hepatoprotective through a number of mechanisms: antioxidant activity, toxin blockade at the membrane level, enhanced protein synthesis, and possible anti-inflammatory or immunomodulating effects.
