When adults reminisce about some of the most enjoyable, fun, and memorable events they have experienced, it is pretty safe to assume they involved friends, family, and most likely the consumption of some alcohol. Unfortunately, some of those memories may also come with a dose of regret from having that extra drink that probably should not have been consumed.

Until a time machine is invented to go back to that moment—where saying, “No thank you,” may have been the best answer—one of the consequences of overindulging is the dreaded hangover. But what if, instead of a time machine, there was something that could be taken prior to alcohol consumption to help you feel better in the morning? And what if that something was also herbal, vegan, non-GMO, and supported by clinical trials demonstrating that it is safe and effective?

Too good to be true? Actually, it is not.

PartySmart™ from Himalaya is an herbal formulation designed to support the body’s normal response to the uncomfortable effects associated with alcohol consumption.

To understand how PartySmart™ works, it helps to look at how alcohol reacts in the body once consumed. When alcohol is consumed, more than 90% is transported to the liver through the bloodstream, where a cascade of reactions occurs. Once in the liver, alcohol is broken down into a toxic substance called acetaldehyde by the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH). The acetaldehyde remains in the liver until another enzyme, acetaldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), breaks it down into acetate, a metabolite the body can safely use for other processes.

Typically, the liver takes about one hour to break down the alcohol from one standard drink. If alcohol is consumed rapidly over an extended period of time, the process can become bottlenecked, and acetaldehyde begins to accumulate in the liver. This accumulation can cause significant stress on the liver and is a major contributor to hangover symptoms the next morning and, at times, throughout the day.

Now that the anatomy of a hangover has been explained, it is easier to understand how taking just one capsule of clinically studied PartySmart™ with the first drink may help support a better morning.

To simplify the process, imagine acetaldehyde molecules as the “troublemakers,” ADH and ALDH as the “bouncers,” and the liver as the “bar.” When visiting a bar, the expectation is to relax and have a good time. Unfortunately, as is often the case with alcohol consumption, the troublemakers can crash the party. With only a limited number of bouncers available, the troublemakers may run amok and cause damage if left unchecked.

Taking one capsule of PartySmart™ with the first drink helps support the body’s natural processes—essentially increasing the number of “bouncers in the bar.” With additional support, the troublemakers can be managed more effectively, allowing everyone to get back to enjoying the evening.

From a scientific perspective, clinical trials demonstrated that the unique combination of herbs in PartySmart™ safely and effectively helped support the liver’s ability to eliminate acetaldehyde faster than the placebo group.

Although PartySmart™ has clinical trials demonstrating support for acetaldehyde elimination from the liver, it will not prevent intoxication. Alcohol should always be consumed responsibly. Never drink and drive, and always plan a safe way home.

PartySmart™ is available in four retail formats: single-serve blister packs, 6-count sleeves, 10-count display trays, and a convenient, easy-to-share 12-count tube. So, the next time alcohol is on the menu, remember to PartySmart™.
