Alcohol and cognition

Alcohol consumption leads to adverse effects such as headaches, loss of energy and motivation, and concentration difficulties. Indeed, several studies* show that veisalgia, more commonly known as “hangover,” has an impact on our physical and cognitive abilities.

But how can this be explained?

Alcohol is an anesthetic substance, which causes a slowdown in communication between neurons. Moreover, brain cells also function differently. In the long term, some brain cells will also disappear, which is referred to as "brain tissue loss."

Hedonist labs offer a simple and effective solution to relieve these uncomfortable side effects, acting on different fronts:

• The elimination of alcohol and the reduction of oxidative stress
• Energy gain
• Reduction of headaches, nausea, and digestive discomfort
• Improvement in concentration and sleep quality

HANG-OVER allows for combining hedonism with physical and cognitive performance!

For your health, ANSES recommends consuming a maximum of two glasses per day and not every day. Hedonist laboratories are part of a prevention approach, complementing existing campaigns, to regulate alcohol consumption.
