Uncle Rummie's HANGOVER HELPER This all-natural dietary supplement, an exact clone of the popular Chaser™ anti-hangover supplement, provides protection from the "morning after" symptoms experienced after prolonged or excessive alcohol consumption. When taken as directed, Uncle Rummie's Hangover Helper can eliminate unpleasant side-effects such as headache, nausea and dehydration. List of Ingredients includes: Vegetable carbon: Vegetable carbon, also known as Activated Charcoal, is an amorphous carbon distilled from materials such as wood, vegetables and coconut shells, materials that provide much larger surface areas than normal charcoal (Certified Natural uses only the highestquality carbon taken from coconut shells). A larger surface area, in turn, allows for greater adsorptive capacity, and the greater adsorptive quality leads to a more effective treatment against the toxins found in drugs and alcohol. Activated charcoal has been implemented for both industrial and medicinal uses. Hospitals use activated charcoal to treat acute poisoning (overdoses) of acetaminophen, salicylates, tricyclic antidepressants and other substances. When overdoses occur, the activated charcoal can significantly reduce the absorption of such toxins into the gastrointestinal tract. These same principles apply to the adsorption of alcohol. Alcoholic beverages contain byproducts from the fermentation process known as congeners. These congeners enter the bloodstream and cause most hangover-related symptoms. Alcohol works through the body quickly because, in contrast to food, it is absorbed directly by the stomach into the blood. This happens because alcohol, unlike food, is lipid-soluble so it can diffuse through the lining of the stomach and enter the blood through capillaries. For this reason, it is advised to eat HOH-rich foods while drinking ,which will sustain the time it takes for the alcohol to leave the stomach and enter the capillaries. Taking Uncle Rummies while drinking, then, allows the alcoholic toxins to be absorbed while they are still in the stomach, eliminating them before they have a chance to spread through the body and cause a hangover. Calcium carbonate : Calcium carbonate is the active ingredient in almost all calcium supplements and antacids currently on the market. The reason for its popularity is due to its availability and the fact that calcium carbonate contains more than double the amount of calcium (38-40%) as most other calcium compounds. Calcium carbonate is found in egg shells and marine organism shells as well as in limestone and marble. It works as a strong antacid because of its nature as a base; it is able to neutralize acids in the stomach, esophagus, and first part of the duodenum, thereby eliminating painful burning in the stomach and chest. |
