Abstract

Hangover is associated with alcohol metabolism in body after the ingestion of an alcoholic beverage. It has been known that hangover is caused by increasing blood acetaldehyde concentration. This study was carried out to evaluate effect against blood ethanol(EtOH) and acetaidehyde(AcH) on the seven natural products samples(Lotus seed, Sweet chest nut rose, Kohki, Gurume-K, Gurume-J, Phytic acid and Chlorophyll). Also, samples which were selected as good products were mixed. Then, effect against blood EtOH and AcH formulas were tested in vivo. (omitted)
