“The way cysteine works is that the body first processes the alcohol into acetaldehyde, which is very toxic, and then has to try to process the acetaldehyde into acetic acid (vinegar), which it can easily get rid of.
The combination of cysteine and vitamin C help turn the acetaldehyde into acetic acid.
Cysteine is a common sulfur-containing amino acid. It is found in eggs, meats, chili peppers--all the hangover foods. There is plenty of cysteine in food for moderate drinking, but when we overdo it, we swamp our natural mechanisms, and popping a few pills from the health food store can really help.”
Directions: take two tablets of N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine along with Vitamin C prior to going to bed.
