The science behind DHM
Meet Dihydromyricetin — or DHM for short — the powerhouse ingredient behind our hangover-fighting formula.
DHM is a natural flavonoid extracted from the Japanese raisin tree (Hovenia dulcis), a plant that’s been used for centuries in traditional Eastern medicine to support liver health and recovery after drinking. Today, modern research is catching up to what ancient remedies already knew: DHM works.
Here’s how:
✔ Supports Alcohol Metabolism
When you drink, your body breaks down alcohol into acetaldehyde — a toxic compound that’s largely responsible for hangover symptoms. DHM helps speed up the breakdown of acetaldehyde and supports your liver in flushing it out more efficiently.
✔ Balances GABA Activity
Alcohol messes with your brain’s GABA receptors, creating that sluggish, foggy feeling the next day. DHM appears to help regulate GABA activity, reducing alcohol’s lingering effects on your nervous system and helping you feel clearer, faster.
✔ Reduces Inflammation & Oxidative Stress
Alcohol creates oxidative stress in your body — basically, cellular wear and tear. DHM acts as a powerful antioxidant, helping to protect your cells and support your recovery at the source.
✔ Backed by Science
Preclinical studies show that DHM can reduce intoxication, speed up alcohol clearance, and protect the liver from damage. While it’s not a license to overdo it, it’s a smart way to support your body before the damage sets in.
