Only those who wake up with “such” hangover symptoms know how uncomfortable and debilitating this feeling can be. But what if there was a solution to having a “good drink” without worrying about the harmful effects of alcohol later? That’s what Swedish lab Myrkl claims to have accomplished with its new hangover pill, which is already marketed in the UK and wears off in less than 24 hours.

Does it really work? According to the manufacturer, the pill works by activating bacteria in the gut (Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus coagulans), an amino acid (L-cysteine), and vitamin B12—together, they break down swallowed alcohol before it reaches water and carbon dioxide. liver.

That is: according to the laboratory, when swallowing 50 ml of distillate with an alcohol content of 40%, together with the pill, only 6 of the 20 ml of pure alcohol contained in the drink enters the bloodstream – 15 ml of distillate, as if the person had just been drunk.

The supplement was sold online and a pack of 30 pills cost £30 before it sold out. There are two kinds of pills in the product: one should be taken 12 hours before drinking and the other one hour before.

What does science say?

The short answer is this: Since alcohol works differently for everyone, there is no miracle against hangover. Most experts’ criticism of the supplement is about the little scientific literature supporting the product. According to researcher Joris Verster, the paper presented by Myrkl only “refers to the acute effects observed immediately after consuming a glass of vodka.”

The tablet is still sold and there are no commercialization forecasts in Brazil.
