The Truth About Hangover Supplements : What Actually Works (and What Doesn’t)

Do Hangover Reliefs Really Work? Here’s What Recent News From Korea Reveals

Hangover products have exploded in popularity in recent years, especially across Asia. But how many of them actually work?

A recent report from South Korea’s Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (식품의약품안전처) revealed that some popular hangover relief supplements failed to meet the criteria for being recognised as effective or safe. In fact, some did not contain the levels of functional ingredients they claimed, and others were flagged for misleading health claims.

This news highlights an important fact: Not all hangover reliefs are effective.

How to Tell If a Hangover Supplement Is Legit

If you're shopping for a hangover relief product—especially online—here’s what to look for:

1. Functional Ingredients with Clinical Backing

Look for proven ingredients like:

• Hovenia Dulcis (Japanese Raisin Tree extract) – shown to support alcohol metabolism
• L-Glutathione – helps with toxin elimination
• Vitamin C – supports liver function and immune response

2. Proper Certifications

Ensure the product is manufactured under:

• HACCP standards (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points)
• GMP certification (Good Manufacturing Practices)

These certifications show the product is made under safe, controlled conditions.

3. Transparency & Labelling

Legit supplements clearly state dosages, sources of ingredients, and do not make exaggerated claims like “instant cure.”

Why It Matters

The market is flooded with products that may look promising but fall short where it counts—effectiveness and safety.

If you’re relying on a supplement to help your body recover after drinking, you deserve to know what’s in it, how it works, and whether it has passed the right tests.
