Headaches & Body Pains

The distillation and fermentation of alcohol produce toxic byproducts known as congeners, which include a variety of compounds like amines, amides, acetones, acetaldehydes, polyphenols, methanol, and etc. They can be more toxic than ethanol and significantly enhance the severity of hangovers.

These congeners trigger an inflammatory response in the body upon consumption of alcohol. This is because the body recognizesthese byproducts as foreign substances and initiates an immune response to neutralize and eliminate them.

This inflammation can manifest as various physical symptoms, including headaches and body aches. Moreover, systemic inflammation can lead to general discomfort and body aches, further contributing to what is commonly recognized as a hangover.

b.Ready's Approach:
Countering Inflammation

Leveraging the potent Anti-inflammatory properties of TEX-OE®, Kudzu Root, and Licorice Root, our scientifically formulated blend actively fights inflammation, thereby reducing headaches and body pains for a quicker and smoother recovery.

TEX-OE®

A patented ingredient derived from prickly pear, also known as Opuntia ficus-indica. It contains potent anti-inflammatory properties, primarily due to its rich content of flavonoids. Flavonoids are natural substances with powerful antioxidant effects that help neutralize free radicals in the body, thereby reducing inflammation, beneficial in alleviating the inflammatory response caused by alcohol consumption.

Kudzu Root

Scientifically known as Pueraria lobata, is a traditional Chinese medicinal herb known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It contains a high concentration of isoflavones which are known for their potent antioxidant properties. These isoflavones mitigate inflammatory response triggered by the presence of alcohol and its byproducts, which can alleviate symptoms such as headaches and body pains.

Licorice Root

Also known as Glycyrrhiza glabra, is another potent anti-inflammatory agent. It contains various compounds, including glycyrrhizin, that exhibit strong anti-inflammatory properties. Glycyrrhizin works by inhibiting the production of pro- inflammatory cytokines and blocking the activity of certain enzymes involved in the inflammation process, helping mitigate inflammatory response induced by alcohol and its byproducts.

The Impact of Acetaldehyde Buildup on Liver Health

Liver Damages Decreased Detox Capacity

The metabolism of alcohol generates acetaldehyde, a harmful compound that induces oxidative stress, causing decreased liver detox capacity.

When alcohol is consumed, it undergoes metabolism primarily in the liver. This process catalyzes the conversion of alcohol, into acetaldehyde, which is a highly toxic compound.

The presence of acetaldehyde induces oxidative stress that overwhelms the body's capacity to detoxify or repair the damage they cause,which leads to harmful effects, causing liver damages.

When acetaldehyde accumulates, it binds with proteins and DNA to form adducts, leading to cellular damage and dysfunction. Over time, this results in liver inflammation and scarring, which can impair the liver's ability to detoxify other harmful substances, including alcohol itself.

b.Ready's Approach:
Boost Liver Detoxification

Utilizing Preventium®, SILIPHOS®, and TEX-OE®, our patented innovative trio Neutralizes Oxidative Stress, minimizes acetaldehyde accumulation, and boosts liver detoxification, forming a powerful shield against alcohol's negative impacts

Preventium®

A patented form of Potassium D-Glucarate, is a powerful nutrient that promotes the body's natural detoxification process. It not only enhances the Phase II detox pathway, mitigating the effects of harmful toxins contributing to oxidative stress and aids in reducing the accumulation of acetaldehyde, a harmful compound produced during alcohol metabolism. By supporting the glucuronidation process, Preventium® accelerates liver detox, improving the expulsion of damaging substances.

Siliphos®

A patented milk thistle extract, which is revered for its liver-supporting properties. Rich in silymarin, a potent antioxidant, Siliphos® helps neutralize free radicals, thereby reducing oxidative stress. It assists in maintaining normal liver enzyme levels, potentially curtailing the production of acetaldehyde, a harmful byproduct of alcohol metabolism. By bolstering liver health, Siliphos® enhances the organ's detoxification and recovery capabilities following alcohol consumption.

TEX-OE®

Derived from the prickly pear cactus, is a patented ingredient known for alleviating symptoms associated with alcohol consumption. It works by upregulating heat shock proteins that help cells cope with oxidative stress, enhancing the body's natural resilience to damage caused by alcohol. By doing so, it aids in decreasing acetaldehyde's harmful effects and accelerates the body's recovery process post-alcohol consumption.

The Effect of Alcohol-Induced Physiological Disturbance

Alcohol-Induced Physiological Disturbance
Cellular Stress Protein Damage

Exhaustion & Fatigue

Alcohol consumption triggers a sequence of physiological disturbances in the body, often leading to cellular stress and subsequent protein damage, which can disrupt regular cellular functions and lead to exhaustion and fatigue.

Firstly, alcohol increases the effects of the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA, which slows brain activity and leads to physical and mental fatigue.

Secondly, alcohol causes cellular stress, which can lead to protein damage, particularly to proteins within cells. When those proteins are damaged, their function is compromised, which can disrupt the cells' normal function.

Thirdly, alcohol consumptions also decrease the production of new proteins and an increase in misfolded proteins, causing further damage and stress.

Lastly, alcohol disrupts the body's energy reserves, reducing glucose production and can interfere with the metabolism of fats and proteins. This impaired energy metabolism can lead to a state of physical exhaustion, further exacerbating the feeling of fatigue after alcohol consumption.

b.Ready's Approach:
Cellular Resilience and Protein Repair

Harnessing the strength of Preventium®, SILIPHOS®, TEX-OE®, and Vitamin Bs, b.Ready actively Fortify Cellular Resilience and Accelerate Protein Repair. This unique and powerful formula acts as an effective defense against fatigue, maintaining your energy levels after drinking

Siliphos®

This patented ingredient is a complex of silybin, the main active constituent of milk thistle, and phosphatidylcholine, which enhances the absorption and bioavailability of silybin. Silybin has powerful antioxidant properties that can neutralize the harmful reactive oxygen species produced during alcohol metabolism, reducing cellular stress. Additionally, it supports liver health, helping to maintain the body's natural detoxification processes.

TEX-OE®

Derived from the prickly pear cactus, it increases the speed at which Heat Shock Proteins (HSPs) are produced in the body. HSPs are a group of proteins that are increased when cells are exposed to elevated temperatures or other stress. These proteins repair damaged proteins and help maintain proper cellular function, which is critical in the face of cellular stress and protein damage caused by alcohol.

Preventium®

The patented form of Potassium D-Glucarate, has a dual role in countering the effects of alcohol-induced physiological disturbance. First, it aids in the glucuronidation process, a major pathway the body uses to detoxify and eliminate toxins, including harmful byproduct of alcohol metabolism, acetaldehyde.

Second, it inhibits the enzyme beta-glucuronidase, which can break the bond between toxins and glucuronic acid, preventing the re- absorption of toxins and reinforcing the body's detoxification process. This ensures a smoother and more effective elimination of toxins, thereby reducing cellular stress and damage, which helps to mitigate the feeling of exhaustion and fatigue.

B Vitamins

b.Ready employs a crucial strategy to counter the depletion of B vitamins caused by alcohol consumption. It includes an array of B vitamins – B3 (Niacin), B6 (Pyridoxine), and B12 (Cobalamin) – that play a significant role in energy metabolism, brain health, cellular repair, and overall well-being. By replenishing these vitamins, b.Ready gummies not only support cellular energy production but also promote cellular recovery. This, in turn, helps the body bounce back from the physiological disturbances caused by alcohol, reduces fatigue, and supports overall health and well-being.
