Dihydromyricetin (DHM) (Hovenia Dulcis Extract) Liver Support Supplement (Naturally Obtained from The Oriental Raisin Tree) 300mg, 30 Capsules

If you are an Obedient and Well Behaved Mature Person who always follows Government Guidelines, you will never need this product. If you are a person Remotely Worth Knowing, you will on occasion, and it's incredibly effective. TL;DR: your body clears A (alcohol) by converting it to B (acetaldehyde) and then to C (acetic acid). Your brain likes A and doesn't mind C, but B makes you feel like crap. Sadly, you naturally have plenty of the enzyme that converts A to B, but not much of the enzyme that converts B to C. This means your evening starts out as AAAAA B C, which feels great. It then metabolizes into AAA BBBB C, which feels lousy. This of course encourages you rebalance the equation with more A, leading to AAAAAAA BBBB C, which seems like an improvement until it becomes AA BBBBBBB CC, which feels even worse. DHM works because it gets rid of all that B. There is significant research by respected bodies like NIH behind this stuff, and I can personally attest to its life-saving qualities every January 1 morning. Steer clear of the countless forms of Herbal Garbage Liver Magic Healing Ancient Eastern Sustainable Energy Organic Upcycled Pay it Forward Crystals. This is a real chemical that binds to acetaldehyde and gets it out of your blood. Everything else is pseudo-scientific blather until proven otherwise.Pro tip: as great as this stuff is, be mindful of how often you need to replenish. Live your life however you see fit; just use your reorder frequency as an objective test of whether you're staying within your intended boundaries.

For the last several years, I've suffered from terrible hangovers that got progressively worse as time went by. I would be hungover after only three beers, or two glasses of wine, no matter how much water I drank/how much I ate/if I took any OTC meds to relieve symptoms. I would get SICK after drinking... vomiting, nausea, body chills, and headache. Eventually, after spending 12 hours vomiting and having to go to the hospital after my bachelorette party where I drank 6-8 beers, I decided to quit drinking.But I enjoy drinking! I wanted to drink at my wedding, at least some champagne, and I couldn't do that.I was highly skeptical of the claims that this would work... I'd used Chaser years ago to no effect. But, I really wanted to be able to enjoy myself on my wedding day without worrying about being completely useless the next day, so I purchased a bottle.I've since used the product correctly four times (and incorrectly twice). Let me tell you... I am blow away! I actually feel like a normal person when I wake up after a few drinks now! I do take an extra dose to make sure I get the full effect of these pills, since my hangovers are so terrible without them, and they are doing the job. The only times the product didn't work so well were 1) when I had a LOT to drink... But I think that was because I didn't take enough of the capsules... I probably should have taken 8 that evening but I only took 6. The other time, I forgot to take them at all. I DID take some when I woke up and went back to sleep, and I felt "okay" later... Not great, but not as awful as I'd felt earlier.So... If you have the terrible hangovers that I have, I highly recommend you at least try the product... I can now have a couple beers after the kids go to bed and no longer worry I'll wake up unable to move the next morning!

Let me start by saying that my problem isn't really hangovers, it is not being able to sleep after I drink. This is a problem called "glutamine rebound" which DHM claims to alleviate. I have used this product several times now and I have to agree that it definitely helps, though I have to take about double the dose they suggest. I take about 4 capsules for every three drinks, starting with one soon after I start my first drink and then space the rest out, taking the last one right after my last drink.My experience usually is, if I drink during the day (stopping before 5:30 or 6:00) I sleep just fine, or if I have one drink in the evening I also sleep fine. However, if I have 2 or 3 drinks after 5:30, I fall asleep as usual, then after about 2 hours I am awake sweating, heart pounding and am often anxious for most of the remainder of the night. With DHM, I seem to be able to sleep for more like 4 hours at the beginning of the night. I still wake up, but am not sweating or anxious and am able to fall back to sleep fairly quickly...within about 30-60 min. Sometimes I take an herbal sleep capsule (Sedaplus) when I wake to help go back to sleep. Without the DHM I usually don't go back to sleep for 3-4 hours, even with the Sedaplus. I also take Magnesium at night, which helps with the pounding heart. So, the DHM hasn't completely obliterated the problem, but has helped considerably. I now feel like I can have a reasonable number of drinks in the evening (2-3) which is a big improvement over having to stick to one (very difficult to do in a social situation!).
