Sometimes one drink turns into three, and suddenly you're dancing to Suavemente at 3am. It’s all fun and games until la cruda hits and your brain feels like it’s buffering.
Enter DHM (short for Dihydromyricetin), a natural compound found in the Japanese raisin tree that’s been used in traditional medicine for centuries. Now it’s showing up in modern wellness products for one very good reason: it helps your body bounce back after drinking. Its also one of the only compounds proven by studies to help alleviate hangover symptoms.
What Does DHM Actually Do?
When you drink alcohol, your liver breaks it down into something called acetaldehyde, which is even more toxic than alcohol itself. DHM supports your body’s ability to process that faster, which can help reduce hangover symptoms. Think:
-
Less brain fog
-
Fewer body aches
-
More energy to actually enjoy your Sunday
Plus, DHM helps balance your GABA levels in the brain. GABA is a chemical that calms the nervous system. Alcohol messes with it, which can lead to that anxious, jittery feeling we know as hangxiety. DHM helps regulate it so you can feel more stable and clear-headed.
So Where Can You Get It?
Sure, you could try hunting down some rare herbal tea, but let’s make it easy.
Buena Cura’s Cruda Cure packs 200mg of DHM per serving in a sugar-free gummy that is made for your post-party ritual. Pop two after your night out, whether it was shots with your primas, karaoke night, or just a little too much vino at dinner, and give your body what it needs to recover.
Because let’s be real. You do not want to wake up with hangxiety, piecing together blurry memories, and texting “I’m so sorry” to your group chat. Take the gummy, skip the regret.
