The hangover pill was developed by the pharmaceutical company De Faire Medical in partnership with the Pfützner Institute for Science and Health in Germany. According to the manufacturer, all ingredients are safe for human consumption and there is no risk of side effects identified so far.
However, the compound mentioned here should not be understood as a medicine, but as a supplement food, not least because it was not approved by the Regulatory Agency for Medicines and Health Products (Mhra) in the UK.
How does it work and what are the ingredients in this pill
It is important to note that alcohol ingested by humans is naturally decomposed by the liver and, after this process, the substance is transformed into acetaldehyde in the body. Furthermore, this compound is highly toxic to the body, especially in high concentrations.
In this sense, the presented tablet is a probiotic supplement that contains two bacteria that are very good for our intestines, Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus coagulans, both of which have a great natural capacity to decompose alcohol, releasing, as a product of the reaction, water and carbon dioxide. carbon.
Therefore, the capsules that surround these beings, resistant to acids, protect such "good bacteria" from the natural acids of the stomach, allowing them to reach the intestines, where most of the alcohol is absorbed into the bloodstream, presumably preventing this process.
What is the value and how should it be used
According to the manufacturer, the pill must be taken at least two hours before the first sip. In the United Kingdom, the compound is only available in the online store, costing in the brand's e-commerce, a pack of 30 capsules, approximately £30 (thirty pounds), equivalent to, in free conversion, approximately 195 real.
