What are the effects of alcohol consumption?

Alcohol consumption can lead to unwanted effects, such as headaches, a loss of energy and motivation, and difficulty concentrating… In fact, several studies* show that veisalgia—better known asa “hangover”—impairs our physical and mental abilities… 

But how can this be explained? 

Alcohol is a sedative that slows down communication between neurons.
In addition, brain cells function differently than usual. Over time, some brain cells even die—this is called“loss of brain tissue.” 

Our simple and effective solution for alleviating these unpleasant side effects—which works on multiple levels:

• - The breakdown of alcohol and the reduction of oxidative stress (through optimized hydration with HANG OVER)
• - A burst of energy 
• - Fewer headaches, nausea, and digestive problems
• - Improved concentration and sleep quality

HANG-OVER combines enjoyment with physical and mental performance! 

For your health, ANSES (the French Agency for Food Safety) recommends drinking no more than two glasses a day —and not every day. Hedonist Labs takes a preventive approach, complementing existing campaigns, to steer alcohol consumption in a responsible direction.
