HANGOVER CURE TEST (WTF: Welcome To Finland #15)

Testing hangover cure L-Cysteine (1200mg), that now has scientific evidence. This must be the new NATIONAL MEDICINE OF FINLAND.

Our "test" was a joke so don't take our broscience seriously.

You have to take the pill DURING the evening for it to have an effect!

Also, this supplement is not a Finnish invention really, it is broadly sold as a food supplement and some hangover prevention products already use that as one of the ingredients but for the L-cysteine dosage is usually not publicly available (FlyBy Bottle, Reset AfterDrink) and when stated, the dosage is usually much smaller (Over EZ Hangover Pill contains 65mg, Bodyarmour 345mg)

About the research
You can read the abstract of the study here: https://academic.oup.com/alcalc/advan...

The test group, 19 finnish non-obese men, consumed alcohol (1.5 grams of per kilogram of body weight) over a three hour period during three different evenings. During the evening they took pills that contained either 600mg L-cysteine, 1200mg or just placebo. In the morning they filled a survey about their usual hangover symptoms, nausea, headache, anxiety and stress. Results are shown on the tables on the video at point 1:08. With the higher dosage the symptoms halved, roughly speaking.

"Generally, alcohol is considered to be the agent for caus ing hangover and related symptoms. However, the truth is that many of these harmful effects are produced by alcohol and its metabolite, acetaldehyde (Eriksson 2001),"

"Our main hypothesis for the present study is that the oral administration of the L-cysteine leads to the elimination of acetaldehyde in the body, which in turn prevents or alleviates alcohol aftereffects. To our knowledge, our study is the first to prove the prevention and the alleviation of alcohol-related hangover symptoms: nausea, headache, stress and anxiety with L-cysteine as a food supplement."

The tablets used in the study contained also other substances, found on most b-vitamin or multivitamin supplements. With 1200mg dosage the test subjects would consume six such tablets during the evening (because L-cysteine was consumed in 200mg tablets) "All tablets, excluding placebo tablets, contained also vitamin B1 (thiamine, 50 mg), B2 riboflavin, 1.4 mg), B3 (niacin, 16 mg), B6 (pyridoxine, 1.4 mg), B7 (biotin, 50 μg), B9 (folic acid, 200 μg), B12 (cobalamin 2.5 μg) and vitamin C (ascorbic acid, 80 mg)."

The research was funded by Catapult Cat Pty Ltd, a manufacturer of L-cysteine containing products. The paper states that "Authors have no conflict of interest. The authors were fully responsible for the study design and the funding agency had no role in the collection, analysis, interpretation of data and in writing of the manuscript."
