The Science Behind Kampai

What causes hangovers?
Scientists have identified several factors that contribute to the discomfort some people feel after consuming alcoholic beverages. One, dehydration, is well-known — and easily remedied: make sure you drink plenty of water before, during and especially after drinking. The other factors, however, have to do with the way your body processes alcohol.*

How does Kampai help?
Kampai contains 2,800mg of the ideal combination of the amino acids alanine and glutamine — naturally occurring substances and two of the bodyfs gbuilding blocksh of protein. Research shows that alanine and glutamine supplementation helps support and expedite your body's natural metabolic processing of alcohol. In other words, taking Kampai before drinking and, ideally, again before retiring for the night, provides your body with a plentiful supply of the natural amino acids it requires to metabolize alcohol and to help preserve the homeostasis of the liver. A healthy-functioning liver is important since it is the only organ in the body that metabolizes alcohol.*
