A Closer Look

Back in the 1800’s, a hangover referred to unfinished business, something left over from a meeting. By the early 1900’s the reference to a hangover as the “morning after-effect of drinking too much” first surfaced. An alcohol hangover is associated with a variety of symptoms that may include dehydration, fatigue, elevated body temperature, and difficulty concentrating.

Folk remedies abound because there is no medically proven method for countering a hangover. The Smoothie Essentials Hangover Blend is designed to address some of the more common symptoms. Adding Hangover Blend to a cool, refreshing smoothie is an enjoyable remedy to counter the elevated body temperature. The ingredients along with the liquids will support rehydration and the restoration of the body’s natural electrolyte balance. Along with adequate liquids, the trace amounts of potassium and magnesium in the Smoothie Essentials Hangover Blend will help restore the body’s balance.

Featured Ingredients

Chamomile

Chamomile is a daisy-family plant and is best known as a soothing herb. It has properties that help address inflammation and normal functioning of the digestive tract.

Gingko Biloba

The extract found in the leaves of the Ginkgo Biloba tree has long been used in traditional Chinese medicine. Only in the past few decades has its usefulness been realized in Western Medicine. Of great interest to many researches is that Ginkgo Biloba helps increase blood flow to the brain, helping improve good mental function.

Ginger

Ginger is used in Asian medicine to treat stomach aches, nausea, and diarrhea. Many digestive, anti-nausea, and cold and flu dietary supplements sold in the United States contain ginger extract as an ingredient.

Taurine

Taurine is named after the Latin taurus, which means bull or ox. Taurine is a key component of bile, which is needed to digest fats. Among its many benefits, it is known to assist the adult blood pressure. Taurine is an amino acid in our bodies that naturally diminishes during increased physical exertion. It is also known for its detoxifying and anti-oxidizing effects.

Peppermint

Peppermint is a common support for a variety of health conditions including nausea, headaches, and stomach conditions.

All together, these ingredients in a smoothie can assist in giving the body the boost back to where you want to be.
