Why This Cluster Exists
Most of the site is about how H180 specifically works -- the DHM mechanism, the SAG delivery story, the fulvic acid chelation chemistry, the testing methodology. This cluster zooms out one level. It is for the broader educational topics that come up over and over in the rest of the content but are not really about any one ingredient. (this cluster is the part of the site I think the most about, because the broader category context matters as much as any individual ingredient mechanism.)
What the Hangover Trials Found
The 2005 systematic review of all randomized hangover-prevention trials concluded that no compelling evidence existed for any single intervention as a clinically reliable hangover treatment 1. That finding shapes how to read every hangover product's claims, including ours.

What Clinical Dose Means
The clinical-dose page covers how a dose used in animal research is, or is not, translated into a human dose. For DHM, the best-known studies were in animals, and I have found no published study of how DHM is absorbed in people, so that translation stays rough. Route matters too: a 2020 rat study that gave DHM by mouth, rather than by injection, found no change in ADH activity and no drop in blood alcohol or acetaldehyde 3.
Acts by promoting aldehyde and alcohol metabolism of foods.†

How Alcohol Metabolism Works
The alcohol-metabolism page is the educational layer for the alcohol biochemistry that the rest of the site assumes you know. ADH and ALDH, NAD+ depletion, CYP2E1 induction, the mitochondrial side, GABA receptor effects -- all of this gets covered in the cluster pages individually, but the context-cluster version is the integrated picture. The NIAAA alcohol metabolism overview is the canonical entry point 2, and the broader alcohol hangover mechanism review fills in the symptom side 4.
Supports balanced consumption of alcohol (from all sources of food and drink).†

What This Cluster Is Not
This cluster is not a regulatory disclaimer page or a substitute for the structure-function claim mappings in the claims cluster. It is the educational background that lets a reader make sense of the rest of the site. The broader context is what tells you whether to trust any single supplement's marketing claims, including ours.
