Hangover

Supplements studied for hangover.

Overview

Three supplements are indexed for hangover (3 studies), all with low ratings (DEX Score 40). Ginger was studied as part of a drink with tangerine peel and brown sugar, which in one trial may have eased nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea—whether before or after drinking—but it is unclear if ginger alone was responsible.

Panax Ginseng was tested in a small study where a red ginseng drink shortly after alcohol reduced hangover symptoms and early blood alcohol levels in healthy men. Eleuthero lacks a detailed summary. Overall, hangover supplement evidence is very limited. See the evidence reviews below.
