The Science Behind Great Nights
And Even Better Mornings
When we drink
This is simpler than the supplement industry wants you to believe.
Alcohol suppresses the hormone that signals your kidneys to retain water, so you lose more fluid than you take in - and electrolytes go with it.
Dehydration accounts for ~20% of hangovers. The fix is straightforward: drink water. A glass between drinks, and a large glass before bed.
For most people after a normal night out, water does nearly everything an electrolyte drink does. Electrolytes matter more when there's heavy sweating or vomiting involved.
Drinkaid doesn't address dehydration, and we won't pretend otherwise. No capsule can replace the water you should drink before you sleep. So drink up, and let Drinkaid handle the rest 🥂
When you drink, your liver breaks alcohol down into a toxic byproduct called acetaldehyde, which is 10-30x more toxic than alcohol itself. Your body clears it at a fixed rate - slower for those with an ALDH2 deficiency. Drink faster than that and it builds up in your system, causing symptoms like nausea, Asian flush, and "feeling like death".
For most people after a normal night out, water does nearly everything an electrolyte drink does. Electrolytes matter more when there's heavy sweating or vomiting involved.
🌳 DHM (from Japanese Raisin Tree) directly boosts ALDH2 activity and accelerates acetaldehyde break down.
🥑 S-Acetyl Glutathione is a highly bioavailable form of glutathione, which binds directly to acetaldehyde to facilitate its removal and supports its enzymatic breakdown.
🥦 Succinic Acid supports mitochondrial energy production in liver cells, keeping them metabolically active so the detox process doesn't slow down when it matters most.
Alcohol relaxes you by amplifying GABA (calming) and suppressing glutamate (invigorating). Your brain compensates by dialling back GABA sensitivity, and increasing glutamate activity.
When the alcohol clears, those adjustments are still in place and your brain overshoots into an overstimulated state, showing up as brain fog and fatigue. That's why drinking more alcohol the next morning might ironically help you feel better (but just delays the crash).
🌳 DHM moderates GABA receptor activity while you drink - reducing the initial swing, which means a smaller rebound.
🫘 Vitamin B6 (in its active PLP form) is an essential building block for GABA synthesis - replenishing it helps your brain restore its own chemical balance overnight.
When your liver processes alcohol, it's primary defense is glutathione - your body's master antioxidant.
Glutathione rapidly depletes and when it runs low, your liver cells are exposed to damage and inflammation sets in. This manifests as fatigue, brain fog, and generally "feeling like death".
🥑Drinkaid uses S-Acetyl Glutathione (SAG), which survives digestion (unlike standard L-Glutathione) and releases active glutathione directly inside your cells. Most brands don't want you to know this because SAG costs up to 40x more than cheaper glutathione precursors like L-Cysteine.
🧄 Pyroglutamic Acid feeds your body's own glutathione recycling process, supporting continuous replenishment through the night.
🍊 Vitamin C regenerates spent glutathione back to its active form - effectively multiplying the antioxidant capacity of the whole stack.
“The results indicated positive effects of the formulation on the studied biomarkers and physiological parameters associated with alcohol-induced damage. DrinkAid demonstrated statistically significant data for regulation of enzymes for primary alcohol metabolism for protection of liver health post alcohol consumption.”
Temasek Polytechnic, 2023
Of the four key ingredients, there was a statistically significant increase in ALDH2 gene expression after 24 hours to approximately 2-fold for three of them: DHM, Pyroglutamic Acid, and S-Acetyl Glutathione.
National University of Singapore, 2023
The evidence show that DrinkAid boosts up alcohol metabolism, increases antioxidants, and lowers harmful liver enzymes.
Accelerates breakdown of acetaldehyde - alcohol's highly toxic byproduct. Helps reduce nausea, headache, flushing, and fatigue while supporting faster recovery after drinking.
Highly bioavailable (and expensive) form of your body's master antioxidant, directly neutralizes acetaldehyde via a second pathway.
Supplies the raw material your liver needs to keep regenerating glutathione throughout the night.
Keeps liver cells energized during detox by bypassing the metabolic blockage alcohol creates in mitochondria.
Minimizes nausea while reducing neuroinflammation for faster cognitive recovery.
Restores the mitochondrial cofactor alcohol depletes - critical for your liver's ability to fully process its byproducts.
Replenishes Vitamin B6, which is degraded by acetaldehyde. Responsible for serotonin, GABA, and dopamine production - the biochemical drivers of sleep and next-day mood.
Directly reacts with acetaldehyde and regenerates spent glutathione - replenishing what alcohol burns through fastest.
Blocks gut enzymes that degrade other ingredients before they absorb - amplifying the whole formula's bioavailability.
Got more questions about DrinkAid?
DrinkAid is the only solution on the market that provides heavy duty protection against acetaldehyde, the root cause of alcohol's side effects. This is done via 4 mechanisms:
Due to how DrinkAid stacks these synergistic mechanisms, DrinkAid users report feeling less intoxicated, retaining more cognitive faculties and sobering up quickly after drinking.
This is one of thebiggest scientific myths used for marketing purposes. The bioavailability of DHM is only 4.02%, so occupying more capsule space with it actually leads to exponentially decreasing effectiveness relative to what could otherwise be achieved (with good formulation work)! Our R&D team has personally tested all possible doses of DHM and noticed a point of significantly diminishing returns. This is why we have dosed DHM in the perfect sweet spot, making space for more ingredients to work together in unison.
Hangover pills and alcohol support supplements should be taken according to the product directions. DrinkAid Alcohol Defense is made with natural ingredients, third-party tested and manufactured in a GMP-certified facility. If you have a medical condition, are pregnant, taking medication or unsure whether the product is suitable for you, consult a healthcare professional first.
Taking Drinkaid before drinking will make it more difficult to get drunk. We see this as a positive side effect!
We have not received any reports of negative side effects thus far.
We’re still conducting studies so we can’t give a concrete answer, but we’re optimistic based on initial findings! We certainly hope so, since lower alcohol levels would mean safer roads for everyone. That said, please don't drink and drive!
DrinkAid Alcohol Defense can be described as an anti hangover pill in the sense that it supports your body before and after drinking. However, it should not be treated as a cure or a reason to overdrink. It works best when combined with responsible drinking, hydration and proper rest.
Yes, DrinkAid can actually be taken at any point when you're drinking. It's best taken 15-30 minutes before drinking, so your body gets the support it needs right from your first sip. And for heavier sessions, you may take another serving (2 capsules) after your last drink.
Take 2 capsules after your last drink before bed. You'll still benefit significantly, especially for the morning-after hangover. For best results on future nights, take it 15–30 minutes before your first drink so the ingredients are already active in your bloodstream when you start.
Yes, and this was a design priority. Asian flush is caused by acetaldehyde accumulating in the blood due to ALDH enzyme deficiency, which affects roughly 50% of East Asians. DrinkAid directly enhances ALDH activity to clear acetaldehyde faster. In our focus group study, 74% of participants saw a measurable reduction in Asian flush. It's one of the reasons so many Singapore customers specifically choose DrinkAid over imported alternatives
While DrinkAid hangover pills demonstrably improve your alcohol tolerance, they should not be used as a way to drink beyond your personal limit. It is designed to support your body when you choose to drink, not to encourage excessive alcohol consumption

The Science Behind Clean
Focus & Energy
Easy Mode works through six neurotransmitter systems and has everything your brain needs to fire on all cylinders.
It's called dirty for a reason.
Caffeine is the world’s most widely consumed psychoactive compound and a well-validated cognitive enhancer.
Structurally similar to caffeine, Theacrine influences adenosine and dopamine activity to boost alertness. But it lasts longer, and doesn't spike your heart rate or lead to tolerance.
With its unique bioactive compounds crocin and safranal, this has a long history of use for supporting mood, mental clarity, and emotional balance.
The primary amino acid found in green tea that the edge off stimulation and stress, helping you feel calm and focused, instead of wired.
Provides natural L-DOPA, supporting dopamine production, improving motivation, focus, and cognitive engagement.
Provides building blocks for dopamine and other focus-related brain chemicals that help you stay sharp even when you’re under pressure.
Supplies your brain with choline for improved memory and focus. It also supports neuronal membrane integrity and signal transmission, increasing cognitive processing speed.
Helps brain cells make energy more efficiently, which supports mental stamina and clarity during long, mentally demanding days.
Got more questions about Easy Mode?
Unlike coffee or energy drinks, Easy Mode provides sustained energy without the dreaded crash. It enhances dopamine production for longer-lasting mental performance, and can be taken daily with little to no tolerance buildup.
Yes, Easy Mode is 100% caffeine-free. It contains the active ingredient theacrine from Kucha Tea Extract, which provides energy without the jitters or crashes associated with caffeine.
Easy Mode can be used daily without building tolerance or dependency. Studies show that theacrine, a key active ingredient in our Kucha Tea Extract, remains effective even after 8 weeks of daily use.
The recommended serving is 2 capsules. For particularly demanding days, you can take up to 6 capsules (2 servings) spread throughout the day.
For best results, take on an empty stomach or between meals, and avoid taking within 6-8 hours of your bedtime to prevent sleep disturbances.
If taken too close to bedtime, Easy Mode may cause sleep disturbances due to its energy-enhancing effects. We recommend avoiding Easy Mode within 6-8 hours of your planned sleep time.
Absolutely! Easy Mode synergizes well with coffee, amplifying its benefits while reducing jitters. It even reduces the caffeine crash afterwards!
The Science Behind Restful Sleep
Most sleep products take a single route. Snuu works through your nose and skin at the same time, so you have a truly good night.
Scent is the only sense with a direct neural pathway to the limbic system, where stress response and sleep onset are regulated.
Each inhale triggers a shift from sympathetic alertness to parasympathetic rest.
Snuu's active compounds penetrate the skin and enter circulation directly, bypassing digestion for more consistent delivery.
Apigenin/ THP then modulate GABA, dopamine, and serotonin to reduce arousal and support sleep onset.
Oral compounds are partially degraded by the liver before reaching systemic circulation. Topical delivery bypasses this, potentially providing more consistent plasma concentrations at lower absolute doses.

Topical absorption tends to produce a more gradual, sustained release profile compared to the sharp peaks and troughs of oral dosing - better suited to natural sleep onset than rapid sedation.

The physical act of applying the balm becomes part of a consistent sleep cue — a conditioned behavioural signal that primes the brain for sleep.

Apigenin is the active molecule in chamomile and the reason it's been used as a natural sleep aid for centuries. It targets the same GABA-A receptors in your brain as prescription sleep medications, reducing physical hyperarousal (racing thoughts, elevated heart rate, cortisol) that keep you awake at night.
Critically, it does this without the dependency risk, withdrawal effects, or next-day sedation associated with pharmaceutical benzodiazepines.
Got more questions about Snuu?
Most people notice effects within 15-20 minutes. Your boss won't even have time to send another "urgent" email before you drift off!
Nope! Unlike melatonin supplements that can lead to dependency, Snuu works with your body's natural systems, not against them.
Our formula is created with skin-friendly ingredients, but as with any topical product, patch test if you have sensitive skin.
Absolutely! Daily use is totally fine for most people.
For the best long-term experience, we recommend taking at least one night off per week. Think of it as a mini reset that helps maintain the balm's effectiveness. Your body appreciates the occasional breather (even from good things)!
We’re hopeful that Snuu will be the start of a sleep revolution and would recommend trying it several times before arriving at a conclusion, as other one-off factors could be affecting your sleep.
That said, we also recognise that everyone’s body is different. If Snuu isn’t right for you, we’ve got you covered.
