Endorsed by British actress and biohacker Davinia Taylor, Rise & Shine by Will Powders is a passion recovery aid. You take the capsules before, during and after a night out. The capsules are said to work together with ingredients that are said to protect the liver, help blood sugar levels and increase the amount of oxygen in your blood.
We asked rugby player Will “Pingu” to take this supplement during our night out. The first blue pill claims to “help maintain and protect your liver from excessive consumption of inflammatory foods, beverages, and stress.” The second pink pill taken at the end of the night is an antioxidant said to be designed to maintain blood sugar levels, while the final yellow pill (in theory) is to increase oxygen and improve alertness. apple.
Will said: “To be honest, I don't remember much and felt quite terrible the next day. “If it's a particularly important outing, you have to remember to take the pink capsule before bed, which I find a bit difficult. I think having something like this makes you more aware of what you're consuming and for that reason alone I think it's a positive thing.”
“There are many ingredients in these capsules that help protect your body from excess alcohol, including milk thistle, choline and vitamin B6,” says Brines von Melle. “It's a great formula and my only hesitation as a purist is that I'm not the biggest fan of the anti-caking agents found in some health supplements. Strong.”

What about the other rugby players in our test?
Nathan Steele, who drank absolutely nothing before bed, not even a sip of water, reported somewhat predictably that he felt “absolutely terrible” the next day. Meanwhile, Trevor “Smax,” who is allowed to drink water before bed, told us that he “needs to drink a lot of water before bed and again in the morning to feel hydrated.” ”.
Finally, it was Leo who took a package Dioralyte rehydration salts before bed, said that in the morning, he feels like he “needs more than a glass of electrolytes to help deal with a hangover like this.”
Of course, there are many factors – such as age, body mass, ethnicity, biological sex and even Your DNA—that impacts how people metabolize alcohol and thus experience a hangover — which in turn affects the effectiveness of these pills and poisons. With this in mind, WIRED freely admits that we had a little (OK, a lot) of fun conducting our “anti-hangover” test, so we'll raise our hands and acknowledge the results. This result is very subjective and cannot be evaluated scientifically. We also want to emphasize that, unless you want to feel as bad as Smax, Leo and Will, you should always Drink responsibly.
How to hack your Hangover
Brines von Melle offers some basic tools in hopes of helping the body handle alcohol consumption:
1. The intestines also absorb as much fiber as the liver, so eat a lot of fiber during the day cruciferous family vegetables and fermented foods. Eggs, in particular, are great for supplementing choline because your liver will use its choline stores to minimize the harmful effects of drinking alcohol.
