The Power of DHM: Why Wiser is Your Secret Weapon Against Hangovers
Ever wondered why hangovers hit so hard and why hydration alone doesn’t cut it? Enter Dihydromyricetin (DHM), the superhero ingredient that powers Wiser. Rooted in centuries of traditional medicine and validated by cutting-edge science, DHM is here to change your mornings for the better.
What is DHM?
DHM is a natural extract derived from plants like the vine tea (Ampelopsis grossedentata). Used in traditional Eastern medicine for centuries, it was celebrated for its liver-supporting and hangover-fighting properties. Fast forward to 2012, when groundbreaking research revealed DHM’s ability to counteract the effects of alcohol. This study demonstrated that DHM reduces hangover symptoms by targeting two key areas: GABAa receptor rebound and acetaldehyde exposure.
Why Hangovers Happen
It’s a common misconception that dehydration is the primary cause of hangovers. While staying hydrated helps, the real culprits are:
-
GABAa Receptor Rebound
Alcohol binds to GABAa receptors in your brain, causing those pleasant, relaxed vibes during your night out. But when the alcohol wears off, your brain goes into withdrawal—this is GABAa rebound, leading to symptoms like headaches, sensitivity to light and sound, and anxiety (a.k.a. “hangxiety”). -
Acetaldehyde Toxicity
Your body breaks down alcohol into acetaldehyde, a compound 20 times more toxic than alcohol itself. While your liver works hard to metabolize acetaldehyde into harmless acetate, the excess lingers in your system, wreaking havoc.
How DHM Works Its Magic
1. Fights GABAa Rebound
Think of DHM as a bouncer for your brain. It binds to the same GABAa receptors as alcohol, reducing withdrawal effects without the need for “hair of the dog.” This means fewer splitting headaches, less sensitivity to light, and no more morning anxiety.
2. Accelerates Acetaldehyde Breakdown
DHM boosts your liver’s ability to process acetaldehyde, reducing the time it lingers in your system. By speeding up this detox process, DHM protects your body from the toxic effects of acetaldehyde exposure.
