Government warns about "straining out the clear water"… Half of over-the-counter hangover remedies pulled from the market

More than half of the hangover remedies sold on the market suddenly disappeared this year. When asked to prove their effectiveness in relieving hangovers through human clinical trials, they discontinued sales.

More than half of the products have disappeared from the shelves since this year.

Because the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety advised not to sell products whose effectiveness has not been proven.

We also notified all companies to submit test results applied to the human body.

As a result, about half of the 177 products did not produce test results.

It seems that they could not be confident about the effectiveness.

The products currently being sold have their own test results.

However, this also has not received official certification from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety.

The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety is thoroughly reviewing the materials submitted by the company.

According to the passing criteria, men and women in their 20s to 40s are instructed to take a hangover remedy two hours after dinner, consuming approximately 90 grams of alcohol, equivalent to one and a half bottles of soju, within 30 minutes.

From the first drink until 15 hours later, a total of 8 blood samples are taken to observe whether the concentrations of blood alcohol and acetaldehyde decrease significantly.

The official from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety stated, "We plan to release the results in June," adding, "More products that are filtered out may emerge from this."

Meanwhile, some prohibited products were also sold on online shopping malls.

Emart was caught selling its own brand products until the beginning of this month.

The health authorities are soon expected to issue administrative measures.
