Hangover Protocol

Hangover Prevention& Recovery Protocol

Physician-designed stack for the before, during, and after. Not a license to drink more — a harm reduction protocol when you're going to drink anyway.

The Science: What Actually Causes a Hangover

Alcohol is metabolized to acetaldehyde — a toxic intermediate that causes most hangover symptoms. Your body uses glutathione to clear it. Heavy drinking depletes glutathione faster than you can make it. That's why NAC (a glutathione precursor) is the single most useful supplement in this protocol.

Alcohol is also a diuretic (you pee out 4 oz for every 8 oz of alcohol) and depletes B vitamins, magnesium, and electrolytes. By morning you're dehydrated and nutrient-depleted.

The protocol addresses both: upregulate detoxification before and during drinking, replace what was lost afterward.
