What are electrolytes and what are the key benefits of electrolytes when consuming alcohol?

Electrolytes are essential minerals that carry an electric charge and play crucial roles in maintaining various bodily functions.

Some key benefits of electrolytes and why they’ve been included in our formula:

  1.  Rehydration: Alcohol is a diuretic, which means it can lead to dehydration. Electrolytes help retain fluid in the body, aiding in rehydration. Electrolytes regulate the movement of fluids in and out of cells and tissues, helping to maintain proper hydration levels in the body
  2.  Restoration of Balance: Drinking alcohol can disrupt the balance of electrolytes in the body. Replenishing these electrolytes can help restore normal physiological functions.
  3. Muscle Function: Electrolytes are essential for proper muscle function. After drinking, you might experience muscle cramps or weakness, which can be alleviated by restoring electrolytes.
  4. Improved Energy Levels: Electrolytes play a role in energy production. Replenishing them can help in reducing fatigue and improving overall energy levels, which may be low after a night of drinking.
  5.  Headache Relief: Dehydration and electrolyte imbalance are common causes of hangover headaches. Rehydrating with fluids that contain electrolytes may help alleviate headache symptoms.
  6. Enhanced Recovery: Including electrolytes in your post-drinking hydration strategy can potentially speed up recovery time and improve how you feel the next day.
  7.  Better Cognitive Function: Electrolytes can support brain function and may help reduce hangover symptoms like confusion, dizziness, and impaired focus.

Replenishing electrolytes after alcohol consumption is essential for promoting rehydration, restoring balance, and enhancing overall recovery. By addressing issues like dehydration, muscle function, fatigue, and cognitive clarity, electrolytes play a crucial role in mitigating hangover symptoms and helping you feel better more quickly. 

What are the key benefits of B Vitamins when consuming alcohol?

Vitamin B complex, which includes several essential vitamins such as B3 (niacin), B5 (pantothenic acid), B6 (pyridoxine), and B12 (cobalamin) play critical roles in numerous bodily functions and can provide several key benefits after alcohol consumption.
Some of these benefits include:

Energy Production: B vitamins play a crucial role in energy production. After drinking alcohol, B vitamins can help restore energy levels that may be depleted.
Mood Regulation: B vitamins, especially B6 and B12, are important for the synthesis of neurotransmitters that regulate mood, potentially helping to counteract feelings of anxiety or depression and may help reduce feelings of fatigue and irritability post-drinking.
Improved Metabolism: B vitamins support liver function, essential for detoxifying alcohol and processing nutrients.

What are the key benefits of Vitamin C when consuming alcohol?

Vitamin C offers several benefits for the body after alcohol consumption.

Antioxidant Properties: As a powerful antioxidant, vitamin C helps protect cells from damage caused by free radicals, reducing oxidative stress.
Reduces Inflammation: Vitamin C has anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce inflammation caused by consuming alcohol.
Replenishing Nutrients: Alcohol depletes many nutrients, including vitamin C. By replenishing vitamin C levels, you'll boost natural energy and support immune function during the detoxification process.

WHAT IS DHM?

DHM is acronym for Dihydromyricetin. 
Dihydromyricetin is a flavanol, a type of flavonoid. 

what is a flavonoid?

Flavonoids are natural compounds found in many plants, fruits, vegetables, tea, and wine. They have powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which help protect cells from damage, reduce the risk of diseases, and support a healthy immune system. Flavonoids can also improve blood flow, boost brain function, and keep the body in balance. Eating foods rich in flavonoids, like berries, apples, leafy greens, and tea, is good for overall health and may help prevent chronic health problems.

Where do you find DHM?

Dihydromyricetin (DHM) is primarily found in the following sources:

  1. Hovenia dulcis (Japanese Raisin Tree) 
    2. Ampelopsis grossedentata (a vine used in traditional Chinese medicine, Chinese Vine Tea)
    3. Vitis vinifera (grapevine) – DHM is found in the leaves and sometimes in the skin of grapes, particularly red grapes.
    4. Magnolia vine (Schisandra chinensis) – A plant from traditional Chinese medicine that contains small amounts of DHM.
    5.  Black tea leaves – While only in trace amounts, DHM can be found in black tea.

Sacro sources DHM from the Japanese Raisin Tree.

Why only 1 can max per day?

Due to health and safety compliance, we have put a caution for the high vitamin B levels. Too much vitamin B can lead to feelings of nausea but it is important to note that it would take a lot of Sacros to overload on this. Sacro has been designed to be consumed frequently and easily, particularly  after consuming alcohol throughout the day following, which is partly why the formula was made so low calorie, so you can keep hydrating without adding too much in through your hydrating calories.
4 cans of Sacro for example would be1 litre of liquid at only 112 calories. This is also why when creating our functional formula we ensured no artifical colours or flavours were added so you could enjoy a recovery beverage without paying for it with an alternative health detriment.
Put simply? Don’t sweat it — 1 can max per day is just a recommendation and requirement to comply with health and safety within New Zeland.

WHO HAS SACRO BEEN MADE FOR AND WHO SHOULD BE USING IT?

Sacro has been made for anyone who consumes alcohol and is looking for a recovery beverage that helps to mitigate alcohols impact and reduce alcohols after effects to support and maintain their health and well-being.  It's a formulated beverage promoting responsible drinking and improved recovery helping those who enjoy a good time find balance in their lifestyle.  Anyone who enjoys being social but still wants to preform and be at their optimal.
Think of it this way, anyone who is consuming alcohol, should now be consuming sacro too.
