How To Get Rid Of Hangover Anxiety

As we all know, alcohol is great for socializing, but isn’t always great for our health or anxiety!

When consumed in larger amounts, alcohol can cause hangovers including exhaustion, dehydration and even anxiety.

You may grab for the medicine cabinet to remedy symptoms like your heartache, but anxiety can be trickier to handle.

To help remedy these symptoms naturally, two ingredients have been researched to help you prevent hangover anxiety and get back to your normal self in no time.

What Causes Hangover Anxiety (Hangxiety)?

If you've ever had hangover anxiety, it can be the worst! And other related symptoms you may have include fatigue, feeling slow or less alert, a racing heartbeat, feelings of guilt or shame, restlessness, and difficulty sleeping.

In a Dutch study, just over 22% of participants reported symptoms of a hangover anxiety.² It's so common that it was coined into the term, "hangxiety."

Although it's not known exactly that causes a hangover anxiety, research on hangovers shows most symptoms come from dehydration, sleep deprivation, loss of vitamins and nutrients, free radical damage on the body, and Acetaldehyde buildup which is a toxin produced by alcohol in the body.

How Long Does Hangxiety Last?

Hangxiety or hangover anxiety, can last for many hours even after blood alcohol levels are normalized, which means up to the whole next day after consuming alcohol.

In an Argentinian study, it showed anxiety symptoms lasted anywhere from 4 to 14 hours after blood alcohol levels returned close to zero.⁶

How To Get Rid Of Hangover Anxiety With Two Natural Ingredients

If you are looking to get rid of your hangover anxiety, there are two ingredients shown to remedy the condition.

Those ingredients are Glutamine and DHM (dihydromyricetin), and below we show you with the given research how they can help.

1. Glutamine 
Hangover anxiety can be likely compounded by the negative effects of "glutamine rebound."

Drinking alcohol reduces the body's ability to produce glutamine.  When you stop drinking, your body tries to reverse course and repair the problem by producing a ton of glutamine, causing glutamine rebound.

The day after consuming alcohol, this leads to fatigue, restlessness and you guessed it -- anxiety!

Supplementing glutamine can likely minimize a glutamine rebound and damper hangxiety, also a reasons it's considered as a hangover prevention formula.

2. DHM (dihydromyricetin)
As a natural antioxidant, the DHM benefits are many, most significant to improve stress, mood and anxiety.

The University of Southern California School of Pharmacy showed that DHM has the ability to reduce neuro-inflammatory changes that are produced by anxiety.⁵ The research indicated that DHM can be used used to reduce anxiety from its anxiolytic properties.⁵

DHM most commonly is extracted from the Japanese raisin tree, and from these studies shows promising results when supplementing to help combat hangover anxiety.

As you can see, in research both Glutamine and DHM can have a positive effect on anxiety.

So, next time you find yourself in that situation we’ve all been in before, dealing with the anxiety and symptoms of a hangover, consider taking this different approach. Using these two natural ingredients is safer, natural, and an effective means that seems to work well when dealing with hangover anxiety.
