You wake up the morning after a dinner that got a little out of hand. Headache, dry mouth, upset stomach, zero energy. Looking for an anti-hangover supplement that actually works? Here's what's in Stay Fit, how it works, and why 92% of our customers buy it again.
The problem: why you feel so bad the next day
A hangover isn't just "too much alcohol." It's a combination of 4 physiological mechanisms piling up:
1. Acetaldehyde
When your liver metabolizes ethanol, it first converts it into acetaldehyde, a molecule 10 to 30 times more toxic than alcohol itself. Acetaldehyde is what causes nausea, cold sweats, and that "heavy head" feeling. Your liver needs glutathione (a naturally produced antioxidant) to neutralize acetaldehyde. When your glutathione stores are depleted, acetaldehyde builds up, and you pay the price.
2. Dehydration
Alcohol is a powerful diuretic: it blocks the secretion of antidiuretic hormone (ADH), so you urinate more than you drink. The result: cellular dehydration, headache, dry mouth.
3. Depleted vitamins
Alcohol massively consumes and excretes B vitamins (especially B1, B6, B12) and vitamin C. These vitamins are essential for energy production and detoxification. Without them, you feel drained.
4. Overloaded liver + irritated stomach
Your liver prioritizes processing alcohol, which slows down the metabolism of fats and sugars. And alcohol irritates the gastric lining, hence the nausea and digestive discomfort.
Bottom line, it's not just a headache. It's a cocktail of oxidative stress, dehydration, and temporary deficiencies.
The ingredients that actually help
The good news: we know these mechanisms well, so we know what to put in our formula to help. Stay Fit combines 5 families of active ingredients:
Vitamins C, A, and E - fighting oxidative stress
The EFSA claim is clear:
- "Vitamin C contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress."
- "Vitamin E contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress."
- "Vitamin A contributes to the normal function of the immune system."
Stay Fit contains 80 mg of vitamin C per dose (100% of the NRV), plus adjusted doses of vitamins A and E. It's exactly what your body needs to neutralize acetaldehyde and post-party oxidative stress.
Artichoke + Rosemary - liver support
Artichoke (extract standardized in cynarin) and rosemary (rosmarinic acid) are two plants documented for their effect on the liver. Claims are pending EFSA validation, but their traditional European use is recognized (a "Community monograph" is available for artichoke).
Dandelion - drainage
Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) promotes drainage and elimination functions. A traditional European plant, it's especially useful during periods of overload.
Licorice - gastric comfort
Licorice extract (deglycyrrhizinated, to limit its effect on blood pressure) soothes the gastric lining. If alcohol has irritated your stomach, licorice helps calm the discomfort.
Why Stay Fit is chewable (vs. a capsule)
Stay Fit is designed to be chewed or taken quickly, not swallowed as a capsule like a typical supplement. Why?
- Faster effect: The active ingredients start being absorbed right from the oral mucosa and stomach, not after a capsule has been digested.
- You can take it during or right after overindulging: no need to wait for the next morning.
- Pleasant taste: We worked on the formula to make it palatable even late at night (no "pharmacy" aftertaste).
- Convenient format: You can slip the sachet in your pocket, no need for a glass of water.
Optimal use:
- During the evening: Take 1 dose midway through, with a large glass of water.
- At bedtime: Take 1 dose before sleeping, with another glass of water.
- When you wake up: If needed, take 1 additional dose upon waking, with water and some breakfast.
This routine maximizes your chances of waking up without a severe hangover. It won't work miracles if you've drunk 2 bottles of wine, but for a "normal" festive overindulgence, the effect is clear.
92% repurchase rate - that's no accident
We regularly measure the repeat rate for each of our products. Stay Fit is our champion: 92% of customers who buy it once, buy it again within the year.
To put that number in context: the average repeat rate in the supplement industry is between 35% and 50%. At 92%, we're in another dimension. There's only one explanation: the effect people feel. If Stay Fit didn't work, people wouldn't come back.
Here are 3 testimonials out of the hundreds we've received:
Julien, 34, Geneva - "Wedding party with champagne + wine + cocktails. I took Stay Fit before bed. The next day: felt almost fine. It's not magic, but the morning was clearly much more manageable than it would have been without it."
Sandra, 41, Paris - "I travel a lot for business. Boozy dinners are unavoidable. Stay Fit is always in my toiletry bag. Always. It goes without saying you still have to drink water. But yes, it works."
Cyril, 28, Lausanne - "Bought it at a Sun Store pharmacy, on the pharmacist's recommendation. First time I tried it was after a party, took it at bedtime. Woke up without the usual nausea. I bought more the following week."
How to use
To maximize Stay Fit's effect:
- Hydrate: Stay Fit is not a substitute for water. Aim for at least 1 glass of water for every glass of alcohol.
- Eat: Have some food while you drink, it slows down alcohol absorption.
- Take Stay Fit in two stages: during the evening and at bedtime is the timing that works best.
- Avoid mixing: Don't combine Stay Fit with other supplements that already contain high doses of vitamins C or A.
- Know your limits: No supplement can make up for massive overindulgence. Stay Fit helps, it doesn't save you.
FAQ
Does Stay Fit prevent you from getting drunk?
No. Stay Fit does not prevent intoxication, does not reduce your blood alcohol level, and does not change the speed at which alcohol is metabolized. It helps your body better manage the associated oxidative stress and dehydration. You'll still get drunk if you drink a lot, but the morning after will be less brutal.
Can I take it every day?
Stay Fit is not designed for daily use. It's an "as-needed" product, for the occasions when you need it. For daily liver health, check out our products for continuous liver support and drainage.
Is it compatible with medication?
If you are on regular medication (especially anticoagulants or blood pressure medication), ask your doctor for advice before taking Stay Fit. Vitamins C and E can interact with certain drugs.
Is it suitable for pregnant women?
No. During pregnancy and breastfeeding, alcohol should be avoided entirely. Stay Fit is not indicated for use in these contexts.
What's the price?
See the Alpx Stay Fit page for the current price. It comes in a convenient box format, with several doses per box depending on the version (check the product page for details).
In summary
