Alcohol hangover is mainly due to the dehydrating effects of alcohol on your body which also can cause headaches. On the other hand, the direct effect of alcohol on the stomach can also cause gastritis, nausea, and mild pain abdomen. But since the pill only acts after alcohol passed through the stomach into the small intestine, hence it will not stop alcohol’s effects on the stomach. But definitely, it will work in the intestine to reduce the absorption of alcohol into the bloodstream resulting in a low hangover after drinking.
How New Anti-Hangover Pill Works

These bacteria naturally break down alcohol into carbon dioxide and water. The pill has an anti-resistant covering that protects the bacteria from the natural acid in the stomach. It reaches the intestine and acts on alcohol there as alcohol is absorbed into the bloodstream from the small intestine. The anti-hangover pill neutralizes the effect of alcohol and reduces the absorption of alcohol into the bloodstream. If less alcohol is taken, the risk of being dehydrated is also less.
It also contains vitamin B12 which enhances energy levels and boosts immunity.
