The local market pages and the author/company background sit adjacent, not inside the research.* These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. ## The Formula Three ingredients dosed for what each one actually contributes -- DHM at 1,500mg, S-acetyl glutathione at 75mg, and fulvic acid at 150mg, with nothing else added for the label. [Read the formula hub →](/science/formula) - [Three Ingredients: Why Only Three](/science/formula/three-ingredients) - A short ingredient list is not a marketing choice -- it is what is left after structured elimination cut everything that did not move the data. - [The Elimination Story](/science/formula/elimination-story) - How the formula got from twelve candidate ingredients down to three, and why removing things produces a more defensible formula than adding them. - [The Patent Explained](/science/formula/patent-explained) - What is in the patent, what it covers, and why the patent language differs from the consumer label language under DSHEA. - [How the Three Ingredients Work Together](/science/formula/how-they-work-together) - DHM, SAG, and fulvic acid hit three different points of the alcohol metabolism cascade. Here is how the combination produces the result. - [Why 1,500mg DHM: The Dose Logic](/science/formula/why-1500mg-dhm) - The surface-area conversion math from animal studies and the bioavailability haircut from poor gut absorption are why the dose lands here. ## SAG S-acetyl glutathione is the gut-stable form of glutathione -- the downstream antioxidant restoration in the H180 formula. The cluster covers the molecule, the delivery story, and the oxidative stress it addresses. [Read the SAG hub →](/science/sag) - [What Is SAG?](/science/sag/what-is-sag) - SAG is the acetylated, gut-stable form of glutathione. The 75mg dose delivers intact GSH where regular oral glutathione cannot reach. - [Glutathione: The Master Antioxidant](/science/sag/glutathione-master-antioxidant) - Why glutathione is the cell's primary intracellular antioxidant, where it sits in the detoxification system, and why ethanol depletes it. - [SAG Intracellular Delivery](/science/sag/intracellular-delivery) - The acetyl group on the cysteine sulfur is what protects the molecule through the gut and lets intracellular esterases release intact GSH. - [ROS and Oxidative Stress](/science/sag/ros-oxidative-stress) - Reactive oxygen species generated during alcohol metabolism, and why the GSH pool is the cell's primary defense against them. - [SAG and DHM: The Synergy](/science/sag/sag-dhm-synergy) - How upstream enzyme induction (DHM) and downstream antioxidant restoration (SAG) cover different points of the cascade. - [SAG vs. Standard Glutathione](/science/sag/sag-vs-glutathione) - Standard oral glutathione has under 1 percent bioavailability. S-acetyl glutathione is engineered to survive the gut. Side-by-side. - [Glutathione and Alcohol](/science/sag/glutathione-alcohol) - Hepatic GSH drops within hours of meaningful alcohol intake and stays depleted longer than the alcohol itself takes to clear. - [Acetaldehyde and Oxidative Stress](/science/sag/acetaldehyde-oxidative-stress) - Acetaldehyde damages cells through both direct adducts and indirect ROS. GSH handles both -- which is where SAG fits in. ## The Testing 150 self-tests over six months were the entire R&D process for the H180 formula -- not a clinical trial, but the structured n=1 protocol that settled what the published literature alone could not. [Read the testing hub →](/science/testing) - [150 Self-Tests: The Method](/science/testing/150-self-tests) - The protocol, the scoring, the controls, and the trade-offs of the personal R&D process that produced the H180 formula. - [The Elimination Method](/science/testing/elimination-method) - Removing one variable at a time and watching what changes is the only way to identify what is actually doing the work in a formula. - [What Got Cut and Why](/science/testing/what-got-cut) - The candidate list, what each ingredient was supposed to do, and why nine of the original twelve did not survive the cuts. - [Drink Counting Methodology](/science/testing/drink-counting) - ABV, beverage type, food, sleep, and timing all logged. The disciplined-logging protocol that made the self-test data interpretable. - [Honest Limitations](/science/testing/honest-limitations) - Self-experiments are useful but limited. The fatigue exception, the confounders, and what this method cannot do. ## Context and Comparison The educational layer of the H180 site -- why most supplements fail, what clinical doses actually mean, and how alcohol metabolism works above ingredient-by-ingredient detail. [Read the context hub →](/science/context) - [Why Most Supplements Fail](/science/context/why-supplements-fail) - Three structural failure modes across the hangover-supplement category: under-dosing, weak mechanisms, and bad bioavailability. - [What Clinical Dose Actually Means](/science/context/clinical-dose-meaning) - Animal-to-human dose translation, surface-area conversion, and bioavailability adjustment -- the math behind a functional dose. - [Alcohol Metabolism Explained](/science/context/alcohol-metabolism-explained) - Three liver pathways, two enzyme systems, one rate-limiting cofactor. The integrated picture of how the body handles alcohol. - [Why Bioavailability Matters](/science/context/bioavailability-matters) - Why "how much survives the gut" decides whether a supplement does anything at all -- and why the H180 formula is built around this question. - [Acetaldehyde: What It Is](/science/context/acetaldehyde) - The reactive aldehyde produced when ethanol is broken down -- and the molecule that drives most of the cellular damage from drinking. - [Alcohol and Liver Health](/science/context/alcohol-liver-health) - The dose-response curve from steatosis to cirrhosis, and where moderate drinking sits relative to the long-term liver risk profile. - [Flavonoids and Alcohol](/science/context/flavonoids-alcohol) - The broader category of plant flavonoids studied for alcohol-related effects, and where DHM sits within that landscape. Austin is the home market and the city the formula was tested against. Each guide here ties a specific Austin context -- a festival, a venue district, a wedding weekend, an athlete training schedule -- to the same mechanism story behind H180. [Read the Austin hub →](/find-us/austin) - [SXSW Survival Guide](/find-us/austin/sxsw-survival) - Six straight days of free drinks at every panel and party. The recovery protocol worked out across 150 personal Austin tests. - [ACL Festival Recovery](/find-us/austin/acl-recovery) - "ACL flu" is what locals call the festival hangover. Why dust, sun, beer in plastic cups, and 90,000 people compound -- and what to do about it. - [F1 USGP Weekend Austin](/find-us/austin/f1-weekend) - A weekend of paddock hospitality, COTA Concert Series, and Wynn Nightlife pop-ups. Recovery protocol for the international F1 crowd. - [World Cup 2026 Austin](/find-us/austin/world-cup-2026) - Five weeks of group-stage matches starting at noon, two host cities a short drive away, and Austin watch-party culture in full swing. - [UT Tailgate Recovery](/find-us/austin/ut-tailgate) - Six home games, three-hour pre-game tailgates at Bevo Boulevard and Scholz Garten, and a Sunday that decides whether Monday is functional. - [Rainey Street Recovery Guide](/find-us/austin/rainey-street) - A district where one bar self-brands as the healthiest on Rainey -- and where the slower-pace crowd still drinks plenty across a long night. - [Austin Bachelor & Bachelorette Recovery](/find-us/austin/bachelor-bachelorette) - A 72-hour Austin protocol stacking party bikes, Lake Travis, Rainey Street, and 6th Street. Built for the maid of honor and the best man. - [Austin Wedding Recovery](/find-us/austin/austin-wedding-recovery) - Three to four days of toasts, champagne, late receptions, and a Sunday brunch the next morning. The protocol nobody at the venue tells you about. - [The Oral Alternative to IV Drip Therapy](/find-us/austin/iv-drip-alternative) - Austin has a $300 IV bag economy. The mechanism-honest version of when it helps and when an oral protocol does the same job. - [Austin Biohacker and Longevity](/find-us/austin/austin-biohacker) - Where DHM, glutathione, and fulvic acid slot into an Austin longevity stack -- and where they do and do not overlap with the standard biohacker tools. - [Athlete Recovery and Alcohol Austin](/find-us/austin/athlete-recovery) - For Austin lifters, runners, CrossFitters, and weekend pickup players who train hard and also drink socially.
