Caption: An expert reveals how to cure a hangover. Vandana Vijay, a biochemist behind the post-social replenishment drink Bounce Back, has revealed what your body needs after a night of partying. Choline It's an essential nutrient that supports the body with transporting fat away from the liver, to support normal liver function. ”Alongside the benefits for your liver, choline has also been found to support our brain function, including better memory and processing.” B Vitamins These are excellent for managing and increasing our energy levels. Vitamin B12 can help you to restore mental alertness or wakefulness if you're feeling fatigued or drowsy.” "The way that it works is by helping the body to convert the food you eat into glucose - which in turn gives you energy.” Magnesium When you drink alcohol, your liver stops releasing glucose while it breaks down the alcohol, which can then cause your blood sugar levels to dip. "Thankfully, magnesium plays an important role in lots of processes in the body, which includes regulating your blood sugar levels.” Amino acids L-alanine and L-glutamine are amino acids which make glucose in the body to help provide energy. “During this process, the amino acids use up the chemical compound NADH which our bodies create when they break down alcohol - meaning they support the decomposition reaction in our liver.” "Another amino acid that supports our liver health is L-Glycine, which minimises the impact of alcohol on the liver by decreasing our blood ethanol.” Vandana adds that the "easiest" way of increasing your levels of these important vitamins and nutrients is through a dietary supplement.
