ALT
The liver's own signal
An enzyme found mostly in liver cells. When liver cells are under strain, more of it shows up in your blood.
The science of Daily Restore
It isn't in your head, and you don't have to quit. This page goes deeper than anywhere else on our site: what a night of drinking does to your body, hour by hour, why each ingredient is in 1 Daily Dose, and the full story of our 12-week study, week by week.
01 · A night with two glasses
Two glasses of wine at dinner. Here's what happens next, and why you feel it in the morning.
Alcohol passes into your blood and on to your liver, which handles about 95% of what you drink.
Your liver clears roughly one standard drink an hour. Anything beyond that keeps circulating until it can catch up.
Your liver turns alcohol into acetaldehyde, a toxic compound, then breaks that down. It draws on glutathione, its main antioxidant, to do it.
Alcohol can help you fall asleep, but as it wears off, sleep in the second half of the night gets lighter and more broken.
Heavier, foggier, slower to get going. Alcohol can also interfere with how you absorb B vitamins your brain and energy depend on.
Why it's harder now
As we get older, our bodies hold less water, so the same glass leads to a higher blood alcohol level, and we clear it more slowly. That's why two glasses can hit harder at 55 than they did at 30.
So why every day?
Several of Daily Restore's ingredients build up over time. Taking it every day, including days you don't drink, keeps the nutrients alcohol drains topped up, so your body isn't starting from empty when you do drink.
| Morning-after fix | 1 Daily Dose | |
|---|---|---|
| When | After you already feel it | Every day, before you need it |
| Your liver | Usually not part of the plan | Milk thistle, NAC and DHM, every day |
| Nutrients | A one-off top-up, if any | B1, B12 and folate kept steady |
| Sleep and mood | Rarely addressed | 5-HTP, L-tyrosine, L-theanine and ashwagandha |
02 · Every ingredient, and its research
Not just a list of names. For each ingredient: the form we chose, why it matters to you, and the kind of research behind it.
01 · Supports your liver
02 · Replaces what alcohol drains
03 · Steadies mood and focus
“Supplements hide how little is inside.”
Fair. Every ingredient is named on our label. The B vitamins are listed at full dose. The other seven share a 1,600 mg blend in every Daily Dose. Ingredient research shows why each one belongs; our own study, next, tested the finished formula. See the Supplement Facts
03 · Our study, week by week
40 adults who drink took 1 Daily Dose every day for 12 weeks and answered the same questions at the start and at weeks 4, 8 and 12. Here's how their answers moved.
Average answers at each check-in, on the study's own five-point scales. Everyone took Daily Restore, and each person was compared with their own starting point.
| We asked about | The question, in the study's words | Reported better |
|---|---|---|
| Waking refreshed | “How often did you wake feeling refreshed after a night in which you consumed alcohol?” | 92% |
| Next-day tiredness | “How noticeable was your next-day tiredness or fatigue after drinking alcohol?” | 83% |
| Sleep | “How noticeable was your poor or unrestful sleep after consuming alcohol?” | 83% |
| Recovery | “How often did you feel that you recovered well by the next day after drinking alcohol?” | 83% |
| Concentration | “How noticeable was your difficulty concentrating or thinking clearly the day after drinking alcohol?” | 81% |
| Satisfaction | “I am satisfied with the overall results of this product.” | 86% |
| Would recommend | “I would recommend these products to my friends and family.” | 83% |
“Couldn't people just feel better because they expected to?”
A fair question. That's why the study also took blood at the start and at week 12. Of the 24 people with both tests, 17 saw at least one liver enzyme (AST, ALT or GGT) come down. Most people started in a healthy range, so there was little room to move, and the group averages stayed there. GGT came down the most.
What comes next
The research company is locking the final data now. When the full report is ready, we'll publish it here, including every measure, not just the best ones.
Survey percentages: the 36 people with surveys at the start and week 12. Charts: average answers at each check-in, August 2026 data. Blood: the 24 people with both blood tests. Study CLOUD-69009. Individual results vary.
04 · How to read your liver panel
Your doctor's routine blood work usually includes them. Here's what they mean, so the next report makes sense.
ALT
An enzyme found mostly in liver cells. When liver cells are under strain, more of it shows up in your blood.
AST
Found in the liver and also in muscle, so a hard workout before a test can nudge it up too.
GGT
Often rises with regular drinking and with some medications. It's on our at-home test.
Every lab prints its own normal range next to your result. Look at where you sit in that range, and how it changes from one test to the next.

07 · Questions about the science
No. Everyone took Daily Restore, and each person was compared with their own starting point. It shows what changed while people took the finished formula. Several ingredients have their own placebo-controlled trials, listed above.
92% of participants answered that they woke refreshed more often at week 12 than at the start. It counts how many people improved, not how much each person improved. The charts above show how much.
More of it reaches your body. In a human absorption study, benfotiamine delivered more thiamine than standard thiamine.
No supplement does. In our study, nearly everyone reported fewer next-day symptoms, and 17 of 24 people with blood tests saw at least one liver enzyme come down. If it isn't for you, our 180-day guarantee covers you, even on opened bottles.
Bring the Supplement Facts to your doctor or pharmacist. Ask especially if you take medication for mood or sleep, because Daily Restore contains 5-HTP, which your body uses to make serotonin.
Take 1 Daily Dose for 12 weeks. If you don't feel the difference, you have 180 days to get your money back, even on opened bottles.
