In the UK, hangover pills have been launched that can make drinkers feel fresh after going out at night.
Ingested before drinking, Myrkl breaks down alcohol in the intestines before it reaches the liver.
Studies have shown that people who take two tablets and drink two glasses of wine have 70% less alcohol in their blood after one hour than those who do not.
Supplements that claim to boost energy and immunity cost £ 30 for 30 packets.
The pills, first shown to break down alcohol, are available today on the company’s website.
Håkan Magnusson, CEO of Myrkl, said the supplement is a “game-changing product” that leaves drinkers “feel great the next day.”
Ingested before drinking, Myrkl breaks down alcohol in the intestines before it reaches the liver. Studies have shown that people who take two tablets and drink two glasses of wine have 70% less alcohol in their blood after one hour than those who do not.
Alcohol is broken down into etanal in the liver and produces complex acetic acid in the body. This is believed to be behind the symptoms of a hangover.
However, Myrkl claims to interfere with this process.
It contains the bacteria Bacillus coagrance and Bacillus subtilis, as well as the amino acid L-cysteine. These work by breaking down alcohol into water and carbon dioxide.
This means that the liver produces no or little amount of ethanal and acetic acid.
The pill also contains vitamin B12, which the company claims will make users “feel refreshed.”
You should take 2 tablets of Myrkl pills 2 hours before taking. After that, it continues to decompose alcohol for up to 12 hours.
The supplement was created by the Swedish medical company DeFaire Medical (DFM).
All ingredients have been approved and recognized as safe by the European Food Safety Authority and the US Food and Drug Administration.
However, other mechanisms are also involved in hangovers, so drinkers may not be able to completely eliminate them.
And doctors warn that people taking pills will get “some cheerfulness” from alcohol even if they take pills. But if they plan to get drunk, it will take longer — Britons will be forced to spend more on their drinks.
Dehydration, hypoglycemia (because alcohol causes loss of sugar in the urine), and another fermentation product in alcoholic beverages, methanol, can also cause you to feel sick after drinking too much.
Magnason said: “For the first time in history, we have demonstrated that consumer products have been proven to break down alcohol effectively and quickly, and we are very pleased to launch this breakthrough product in the UK and most European markets.
“Moderate sociable drinking is a big part of British culture, and the majority of British people go out to enjoy a few drinks together each week.
“Therefore, Myrkl’s purpose is to wake up the usual moderate drinker in the best mood the next day, whether it’s a busy working professional, a young parent, or an elderly person who wants to maintain an active social life. Is to help. “
Magnason added: ‘Independent clinical trials have demonstrated how powerful this product is in breaking down alcohol.
“Myrkl wasn’t designed as an excuse to drink beyond the NHS guidelines, but I’m convinced that Myrkl is a breakthrough product for the average moderate drinker, and the general public in the UK has tried it. I can’t wait to see it. ‘
The NHS recommends that adults drink no more than 14 units of alcohol per week for at least 3 days. This is equivalent to a medium glass of 6 glasses of wine or 6 pints of beer.
Dr. Dawn Harper, best known on the TV show Embarrassing Bodies, said that those taking pills will get “a part of the absorption and cheerfulness they experience when drinking alcohol.”
But she said this product isn’t for people who want to drink too much.
Dr. Harper added: What I think Myrkl is involved with is the huge number of moderate drinkers in the UK.
