Scientists received amber acid back in the XVII century - directly from the very mineral, "solar stone".During this time, biologists have studied many of the most useful properties of acid, and most importantly - found that the human body produces small amounts of it itself. But if an emergency occurs( for example, drinking alcohol), an additional dose of "medicine" is needed to support the body. It is on this principle that succinic acid acts from a hangover.
Succinic acid for hangover
Succinic acid is part of the group of carboxylic acids, the chemical formula of which contains carboxyl groups - COOH.It is actively used in industry( from "solar" acid make plastic), is very demanded in agriculture, and for man it is just a universal therapeutic additive.
Many modern means from a hangover are made on the basis of this mineral acid( popular "Antipohmelin", budgetary "Limonar").
Tablets - this is the only form of acid( if you do not take into account the drugs on its basis).They can be in weight in 0,1, 0,25, 0,5 mg, in packing more often on 10 pieces. Depending on the weight, the price differs - the standard of "sunny" tablets can be bought from 15 rubles.and higher.
The manufacturer of succinic acid - or Russian( LLC NFC - Tomsk region, OJSC Marbiopharm - Republic of Mari El, Pharmstandard - Moscow), or Ukrainian( OOO Elit-farm).Depending on the manufacturer, the dragees may contain either pure succinic acid along with the auxiliary ingredients, or a base substance in the company with a small percentage of ascorbic acid.
Benefit and harm of
It is important to understand that succinic acid is not a complete medicine, it is just a biologically active additive. Simply familiar to our body( because he himself synthesizes it) and very useful.

Action mechanism for hangover
The main biologically active substance of "sun acid" in case of a hangover is its salts, succinates. They provide a therapeutic effect for alcohol withdrawal.
The most dangerous thing in alcohol is the products of its decay. Ethanol in the body gradually turns into a very toxic acetic acetaldehyde, and that later is split into water and acetic acid. Until its breakdown, acetaldehyde has time to poison almost all organs and tissues of the body with its toxins.
The main function of succinic acid from a hangover is to prevent the toxic effect of toxins. Succinates increase metabolism, so acetaldehyde breaks down faster into safer components, and helps to bring decay products out of the body faster.
All these effects allow you to quickly remove the symptoms of alcohol withdrawal and improve the overall well-being of a person.
Instructions for Use
Doctors recommend taking succinic acid to reduce the toxic effects of alcohol in three cases:
- to get rid of the usual hangover;
- in the treatment of alcohol withdrawal syndrome;
- in the treatment of alcohol dependence( in some cases, and necessarily in the complex therapy).
In the last two cases the dosage, how much to take and how to apply within the curative "amber" course should be determined exclusively by the doctor. To remove hangover syndromes there is a classic instruction.
To protect yourself from a hangover, the drug can be taken and up to the alcoholic libation, and after the appearance of hangover symptoms. How much to take? Before the feast, you should take only 2 tablets of "mineral" acid for 0.1 gr - about an hour before the first glass / glass.
When the hangover has already begun, the drug should be drunk gradually - 1 dragee( 0.1 g) every 50 minutes. A maximum of 6 "amber" tablets are allowed per day.
Contraindications
Amber acid is not accidentally called acid - when applied excessively it can irritate the diseased stomach and intestinal mucosa. This feature is largely determined by the contraindications of tablets.
The main prohibitions on the use of "mineral" tablets against a hangover are:
- gastritis with hypersecretion;
- exacerbation of gastric or duodenal ulcer;
- pronounced hypertension;
- urolithiasis;
- glaucoma.
A characteristic feature of the "solar" acid is an exciting effect on the brain, so it is important to use the antipoverment dose of tablets before the evening.
Reviews
Doctors-toxicologists and narcologists respond about succinic acid with a hangover exceptionally positively and say that it really helps. But emphasize - this substance works best in a complex, so it is worth using "amber" tablets in combination with sorbents, drugs for restoring cellular functions and other groups of drugs.
Another option is to choose a special drug for the treatment of hangover syndrome, which contains several active substances, including medicinal acid.
Since in order for the tablets to dissolve and begin their action, it takes at least 8 hours, take acid in the evening, before alcoholic libation, it is necessary. The doctors are also reminded of this.
Those who drank tablets and tested the anti-alcohol effect of succinic acid, leave very grateful comments. Those who took the pill only in the morning, when the painful symptoms began, warn - it should be drunk with extreme caution. The stomach irritated with alcohol hardly suffers acid - pains and carvings in a stomach can be very appreciable, but soon pass or take place.
The main assistant for succinic acid tablets for a hangover people call a normal full sleep.
