Drinking water simply isn't enough effectively treat your post-alcohol symptoms. Dehydration only contributes to your fatigue and dry mouth.
The major post-alcohol symptoms- headaches and nausea are caused by acetaldehyde and GABA rebound
what happens when you drink alcohol?
When you drink alcohol, it passes quickly into your bloodstream and travels to every part of your body. Alcohol affects your brain first, then your kidneys, lungs and liver. The effect on your body depends on your age, gender, weight and the type of alcohol. When you drink alcohol, your liver oxidises 95% of it. This means your liver converts alcohol into water and carbon monoxide. However, your liver can only oxidise one unit of alcohol an hour.
The word "hangover" refers to a set of symptoms that occur as a consequence drinking too much. These include fatigue, weakness and thirst among others; some people may also experience stomach pain or vertigo - just some examples on the list! Hangovers vary as each individual has their own unique experiences with them but they all share these common elements due in part from alcohol's effect upon our bodies when consumed excessive amounts over time. Hangovers are caused by a variety of factors, including dehydration, alcohol toxicity, and the effects of congeners, which are chemicals found in alcoholic drinks.
bback targets the root causes of discomfort after drinking.
When you drink, the liver converts alcohol into Acetaldehyde to rid alcohol from your body. This process depletes the body's stores of glutathione and causes toxic build up.
The DHM in bback increases the body's alcohol metabolic rate which reduces the time you're exposed to Acetaldehyde - this toxin is 30x more toxic than alcohol!
Alcohol mimics the effects of GABAa by binding to GABAa receptors in the brain - this is why you feel relaxed when you drink. When the drinking stops, GABA rebound kicks in causing "hangxiety" and stress.
Dihydromyricetin (DHM) is naturally derived from the fruit of the Japanese raisin tree (Hovenia dulcis). The tree is native to Japan, Korea and Southeast Asia and has been used in traditional herbal medicine as a treatment for alcohol hangovers and liver ailments for hundreds of years.
Alcohol beverages produce a nasty toxin called Acetaldehyde. It is estimated to be 30 times more toxic than alcohol itself! The consumption of it can cause cellular damage to your liver.We created bback with DHM as a protective ingredient for your liver while drinking. Clinically shown to help the liver process alcohol faster and counteract negative affects of alcohol. DHM helps:
1. Reduce alcohol induced symptoms such as headache 2. Prevent liver damage and inflammation 3. Helps the body to metabolise alcohol more effectively and faster 4. Reduce fat accumulation in liver, which is a known cause of liver diseases
When alcohol is consumed, the receptors in the nervous system are influenced to fire off inaccurate signals. This causes negative effects like headaches and cognitive impairment. Scientific studies have shown that DHM supports the receptors and inhibits the effect that alcohol has on the nervous system.
As alcohol is identified as a toxin, our liver makes it a priority to break it down. This long and difficult process leads to fat deposits and liver tissue damage. DHM reduces the burden and fat accumulation on the liver by promoting a higher effectiveness of alcohol metabolism enzymes alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH). These enzymes convert alcohol into a simpler form that the body can eliminate easily. With this, your body's unlikely to experience the nasty effects of alcohol-related toxins for long.

Japanese raisin tree, where DHM is extracted from, has been commonly used as a healthy herbal tea as it is rich in natural antioxidants. Its dried leaves and stems have been traditionally used in Chinese medicines for centuries. DHM is a potent flavonoid that is credited with accelerating your body's ability to break down acetaldehyde, a toxic by-product of alcohol. metabolism. Recent studies suggests that Dihydromyricetin (DHM) relieves alcohol toxicity and prevents intoxication by limiting the absorption of alcohol in the gastrointestinal tract and promoting the metabolisation of alcohol in the liver. DHM has even been proposed as a ‘novel anti-intoxication medication’
