Safety Overview

Is this FDA Approved?

Good Morning is FDA-compliant, as we are in the supplement category. FDA approval is a process reserved for drug products making health claims. Thus, we are not FDA-approved.

FDA-compliant means what we adhere to all FDA regulations in regards to manufacturing, labeling, quality controls, etc for the sale of supplements in the United States.

Compliance such as manufacturing in an FDA-registered food-grade facility according to Good Manufacturing Practices compliant with 21 CFR 117.

Science Snippets

Why focus on inflammation & oxidative stress?

The inflammatory response caused from drinking alcohol can be measured with cytokines. These cytokines are a part of the inflammation process, and the more of them there are the worse the inflammation is.

This is also true for the oxidative stress placed on the body when drinking. Studies have shown levels of these cytokine biomarkers having a significant correlation with next-day severity [reference].

The causes of inflammation and oxidative stress on the body can either be from alcohol directly or indirectly within the process of breaking down into its byproducts.

The conversion of alcohol into acetaldehyde involves the endogenous production of free radicals, which are both harmful for the body and thus elicit an immune response [reference].

With multiple studies tying in inflammation and oxidative stress to next-day severity and the known metabolization process of alcohol creating inflammatory responses, we theorized that the best option to fight rough mornings would be to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress.

Good Morning uses a variety of ingredients to combat inflammation and oxidative stress. DHM (Dihydromyricetin, the extract of the Japanese raisin tree called hovenia dulcis), ginger, ginseng, glutathione, and green tea all assist in reducing inflammation and oxidative stress on the body*.[reference][reference][reference][reference][reference].*

What causes "hangxiety"?

Alcohol is one of the few exogenous molecules that can pass the blood-brain barrier. It interacts with a few select neurotransmitters that belong to the "reward system" in the brain.

Alcohol interacts with the neurotransmitter GABA’s receptors, binding to them and inhibiting responsiveness, and interacts with the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate via the same interaction.

As these receptors are antagonized, this causes a buildup of the respective neurotransmitters, accentuating the familiar feelings of inhibition (relaxed, open) and excitement when drinking [reference].

There is a delicate balance between GABA and glutamate, and the brain attempts to compensate for this change by bringing the balance back toward equilibrium.

When you stop drinking, the brain’s compensatory changes are no longer opposed by the presence of alcohol, thus leading to the over-excitation of GABA and glutamate, acute alcohol withdrawal-induced GABA receptor plasticity, and other related rough morning symptoms [reference].

That overcompensation of neurotransmitters leads to the feeling we know in the morning, where we feel restless but tired at the same time. That’s "hangxitey", or the rebound effect.

Why are vitamins important?

As we drink, the body consumes B-vitamins, agents in regulating the body’s functions for responding to inflammation and repairing oxidative stress [reference][reference].

Replenishing B-vitamins has been the target of some alcohol rough-morning studies.

There have been results with B-vitamin tests that show a positive correlation between B-Vitamin supplementation when drinking and a decrease in hangover severity [reference].

Refilling the cells with B-vitamins after drinking (or before) has shown positive benefits in helping avoid a rough morning.

We've filled Good Morning with B-vitamins to help us maintain high levels throughout the night and the next day.

Dehydration Myth

Dehydration is the most common myth for alleviating rough mornings. The theory makes sense, and alcohol suppresses the antidiuretic hormone vasopressin (a hormone that keeps you from peeing too much).

Drinking alcohol and not water can lead to dehydration - which is never good. But the research shows that the level of electrolytes doesn't differ too much from baseline controls in dehydrated individuals [reference].

Even when they differ, there is no significant correlation between dehydration and next-day severity [reference].

Acetaldehyde Myth

Acetaldehyde is the most common myth among commercial rough morning prevention companies. Many tout this toxic byproduct of alcohol as the cause of rough mornings, but no published scientific evidence supports a rough morning product that claims to enhance the elimination of acetaldehyde being effective in reducing next-day severity [reference].

Alcohol is metabolized in a two step process. Your liver uses the enzymes alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) to do this. ADH oxidizes alcohol to acetaldehyde, then ALDH oxidizes acetaldehyde into acetate (a harmless acid found in vinegar).

Acetaldehyde’s pharmacokinetics in the body reduce the chances it's a significant agent in the development of a rough morning. For one, acetaldehyde can’t pass through the blood brain barrier, due to the abundance of ALDH enzymes near the brain [reference][reference].

Studies have shown that when acetaldehyde concentration was at its lowest, rough mornings were recorded to be most severe [reference]. Essentially, once your body has finished removing all the acetaldehyde from your system, you start to feel the rough morning. Even variations of acetaldehyde blood level concentrations showed no correlation with next-day severity [reference].

With this knowledge, we can conclude that even though acetaldehyde is not a toxin to focus on, there is still the possibility that acetaldehyde may have indirect effects on the presence and severity of alcohol rough mornings.

For example, the process of metabolizing alcohol into acetaldehyde creates endogenous free radicals that cause oxidative stress and an inflammatory response. Inflammation is a consequence of consuming alcohol, and has been correlated to show causation for rough mornings.
