Let's face it, hangovers suck. And if you are reading this, it's most likely because you want to minimize the repercussions of dreaded hangovers caused by indulging in adult sodas. Formulated with liver-supportive ingredients, electrolyte minerals, and nutrients commonly depleted to help do your body some good and banish lingering party remorse.

Hydration Station

Hydrating is good for you (like really good for you.) Unfortunately, while staring into the bottom of a glass, the words 'hydration' don't appear as often as they should. Since alcohol is a diuretic, it increases the amount of urine a person passes, increasing the loss of fluids. These factors can increase our risk of dehydration and electrolyte imbalances. While drinking water does not cancel the alcohol consumed, it does play a factor in many things, such as preventing even mild dehydration symptoms: pounding headaches, muscle cramps, brain fog, and anxiety. Water is essential for nutritional distribution and aids digestion by helping break down food so your body can absorb the nutrients. As you drink, you lose important electrolytes, particularly potassium, sodium, chloride, calcium, magnesium, bicarbonate, phosphate, and sulfate. Not to mention that magnesium is one of the essential nutrients, and leading mineral deficiencies. By supplementing these minerals during times of increased fluid loss, it can provide the body with the hydration it's craving leading to acceleration of general well-being.

Green Is Loaded With B's (Vitamins)

Here's the good news: The green pigment in vegetables such as broccoli, asparagus, spinach, collard, and greens are loaded with nutrients. This powder has a spectrum of colours, especially green, packed with nutrients to support an increase in energy, provide mental clarity, detoxify the body, and restore a healthy pH balance - all the things you need after a good night out. Drinking alcohol depletes the body of B vitamins, known as our energy and stress vitamins, which play vital roles in hundreds of metabolic pathways essential for excreting waste. For starters, alcohol is a diuretic, so you lose a lot of vitamins, minerals, and fluids while drinking, in addition to interfering with your body's ability to absorb nutrients. The water-soluble vitamin B excrete rapidly, making them even more vulnerable to deficiency in the best of us. Consistently consuming B-rich foods, supplementation if necessary, and managing mindful practices to reduce stress can help optimize storage levels.

The Hidden Gems

I'm talking about the specific ones that support the liver, fight against inflammation, boost antioxidant compounds, and do everything we want to help our body after a night out. By replenishing the body with depleted nutrients, sufficient hydration, and specific supplements supportive of detoxification pathways, we may lessen the adverse side effects associated with alcohol consumption. This blend is rich with colourful fruits packed full of polyphenols (organic compounds found in berries, citrus fruits, and apples, to name a few.) Milk thistle is a potent natural liver cleanser, protector, detoxifier, and acts as a blockage agent by inhibiting binding of toxins - effectively reducing some of the worst of your hangover symptoms. Diets rich in high amounts of polyphenols are linked to several health benefits, and this blend is packed with milk thistle, ginseng, prickly pear, and NAC (N-Acetylcysteine) to impact any hangover positively.

Don't Forget Food

Waking up with the taste of last night's regret might have you craving a plate full of greasy food but spare yourself round #2 regrets. Although diving into a plate full of greasy food might sound appealing after a night out, try incorporating foods rich in nutrients to support booze recovery aches-and-pains (vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin B's, omega-3 fatty acids, magnesium, potassium, and zinc.) Focus on complex carbohydrates such as whole grains, antioxidant-rich fruits such as blueberries, dark leafy greens such as spinach or kale, brain fuelling fats such as avocados, almonds, brazil nuts, or walnuts, quality proteins such as eggs, chicken, fish, or grass-fed beef or elk, and electrolyte-rich foods such as bananas, dates, and dark chocolate. While we can’t eat our way out of a hangover, we can surely help our body feel good instead of adding additional post-food-coma stress.

… and while there is no real ‘cure’ other than complete sobriety, start to feel better faster by following these simple steps:

1) Don't underestimate the power of mineralized hydration (Rehydrate)

2) Eat food that gives you energy without regret or energy crashes - opt for colourful plates (Replenish)

3) Sleep is a crucial part of any recovery (Repair)

4) Take 'Oops I Did It Again Cure' to replenish water-soluble vitamins such as vitamin C, B's, liver supportive compounds, and tons of essential nutrients related to reducing symptoms associated with hangovers (Renew)
