Curing A Hangover With Vitamin C

Using Vitamin C to Cure a Hangover

One of the most important aspect of curing or preventing a hangover is neutralizing free radicals that invade your body as a byproduct of alcohol metabolizing in your liver. Free radicals can lead to disease, organ damage and premature aging and need to be removed from your body as soon as possible. That's where vitamin C comes in.

Aside from being a great, all natural immunity booster, vitamin c is a powerful anti oxidant and therefore, a great ingredient in any hangover cure. Taking vitamin C before bed after a night at the bar (taking shots, drinking beer after beer, the usual) can play a huge role in waking up hangover free. It makes sense when you think about it. Vitamin C, a key nutrient, gets depleted in your body when you drink too much. Smoking a cigarette or two is even worse for your C levels. Obviously many people like drinking and smoking at the same time, so you are getting a real double shot of depletion in your body.

While you sleep, vitamin C helps knock out all the bad stuff in your body that is produced as a bi product of alcohol being metabolized in your liver. It's similar to the way the vitamin works when dealing with an illness or disease. I have had some great nights out followed by some pretty good mornings by simply loading on plenty of C right before bed. It's also not a stimulant so it won't keep you up all night when all you want to do is sleep. It's available at any grocery store in the health section. Try it out!
