The liver acts to clear alcohol and acetaldehyde from the body. Alcohol consumption (and particularly over consumption) leads to liver stress and L-Glutathione depletion, leaving the individual with a temporarily overtaxed liver that cannot properly clear the body of toxins for a period of time during and after drinking. This over-taxation of the liver can lead to a buildup of lactic acid which known to be related to feelings of lethargy, e.g., and is thereby also considered to be another physiological factor contributing to hangovers: (9) reduced or impaired liver function in regards to added stress of alcohol on regular liver function. The present technology is capable of targeting these nine exemplary hangover causes in a comprehDespite the increasing number of anti-hangover technologies available, none of the existing `hangover cures` provide the alcohol consumer with a composition and/or methodology that is capable to counter all or at least most of the known causes of a hangover, and thereby are ineffective to prevent a potential hangover or to extensively improve the ability to recover from a multi-faceted (e.g., multi-symptomatic) hangover. Although some existing hangover remedies may be considered to be partially effective, there is still a need for a comprehensive solution that addresses a greater number of contributing factors for a hangover, if not all of the causes for a hangover. Existing hangover cures provide noncomprehensive or incomplete solutions that fail to identify or affect the full spectrum of causes and fail to provide comprehensive anti-hangover agent. Accordingly, the negative consequences of alcohol consumption continue to impair alcohol consumers globally, e.g., which have been shown to effect health and economies. The disclosed technology provides various compositions, formulations, delivery systems (e.g., capsules, powders, liquids) and methods for comprehensively treating and/or preventing hangovers, which target the full spectrum of hangover causes and provide more effective relief to persons consuming alcohol that can reduce at least some of the negative effects of alcohol.
