What is Dihydromyricetin
Hovenia dulcis is a Traditional Chinese Medicine for hangovers that is distributed naturally in the areas surrounding China, Japan, Korea, and the Himalayas.
The molecule we know as Dihydromyricetin is also called Ampelopsin, and is extracted using an ethanol-based solution from the fruit of the Hovenia Dulcis tree, and minimally processed before it’s dehydrated and turned into a powder ready to be purified.
How does Dihydromyricetin work
The unpleasant feelings that stem from a hangover are generally attributed to a combination of factors including dehydration, fatigue, glucose imbalances, as well as toxic impurities found in some alcoholic beverages (i.e. congeners) – but above all due to the toxic byproduct of alcohol metabolism, acetaldehyde.
Two enzymes help your body break down alcohol (ethanol) and acetaldehyde (‘ethanal’) — alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH). A number of studies (Chen et al., 2006) suggest that dihydromyricetin – one of the main ingredients in Survivor – increases the activity of said enzymes, meaning DHM could help you metabolize alcohol faster.
Additionally, another recent study found that people who ingested DHM experienced less headache, dizziness, nausea, and weakness after drinking than those who did not take the DHM (Kim et al., 2017). This article discusses DHM and hangovers and how the latter affects the former.
DHM, also known as Dihydromyricetin or Ampelopsin, is a potent flavonoid. It has been seen to help accelerate your body’s ability to break down acetaldehyde, the toxic by-product of alcohol metabolisation.
Fairly new in the eyes of Western science, it has been used for thousands of years in traditional Chinese medicine – the plants from which DHM can be extracted, Ampelopsis grossedentata and Hovenia dulcis, have have been used as remedies or a supplement for hangovers for centuries and consumed as teas, powder preparations, and infusions.
DHM has recently invited considerable academic interest given its promise of an entire swathe of health-beneficial effects. DHM studies suggest Dihydromyricetin (DHM) relieves alcohol toxicity and prevents intoxication by limiting the absorption of alcohol in the gastrointestinal tract and promoting the metabolisation of alcohol in the liver. DHM has even been proposed as a ‘novel anti-intoxication medication’ (Shen et al., 2012).
Indeed, DHM ‘has been demonstrated to show anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antimicrobial, cell death-mediating, and lipid and glucose metabolism-regulatory activities’ (Li et al., 2017). There are now over 279 studies across medical publisher databases PubMed and Google Scholar, and many more in the pipeline. Definitely the flavonoid to keep your eye on!
