Russian scientists have developed a remedy for intoxication and a hangover

Scientists from the Moscow Physics and Technology University (MIPT) developed a drug that relieves the symptoms of alcohol intoxication. It helps to maintain sobriety of thinking, improves coordination, attention, memory and mental abilities of a person while drinking alcohol. It also helps relieve hangovers.

The exact composition of the product is not disclosed to maintain trade secrets, but it is noted that it is based on a combination of natural amino acids and sugars. These substances are involved in the natural metabolic processes of the body, and the supplement only increases them. amount to improve the functioning of the somatic nervous system (it is responsible for coordinating movement body parts). There are no medicines in the composition: it is a dietary supplement.

According to the authors, the tool normalizes the functions of perception and information processing, and also improves coordination of movement. This will be useful when you need to "keep small talk with a glass in hand" or work with clients in an informal setting, keeping yourself in control and keeping wit.

At the same time, such an additive will not relieve addiction and other negative symptoms of alcoholism. It also cannot be taken as an antidote that will allow you to drive while intoxicated. It is also noted that the remedy will be effective only with small doses of alcohol: about 120 ml of strong alcohol for men or 60 for women. With a large amount of alcohol from intoxication and a hangover, such a dietary supplement will not save.

The drug has passed two stages of testing. First, it was tested on mice, working out the optimal composition and composition of the ingredients. The final version made it possible to improve information processing by 2.5 times and increase endurance and coordination by 3.2 times (tested on a rotating rod - this is a special simulator for animals).

After being certified as a food product, the drug was tested on 200 human volunteers. In-depth interviewing and questioning of the subjects showed that in addition to reducing the effect of intoxication, the drug also helps relieve hangover symptoms (including headache, fatigue, irritability, and other consequences).

To produce a remedy for intoxication, they are going to be in the form of a free-flowing powder: one sachet for one application. Before drinking, it will need to be mixed with a liquid like water or tea. A pack of ten bags will cost about 300 rubles, they plan to sell them via the Internet, as well as in bars and restaurants. The timing of the release of funds on the market and the trade name has not yet been reported.
