The Anytime You Drink Vitamin® Bottle

The Anytime You Drink Vitamin® supports alcohol metabolism, promotes liver health, and restores vital nutrients, so you can wake up feeling better than you should*

In general, we recommend chewing 2 tablets ASAP after your last drink.

However, everybody is different, and you may want to experiment to figure out how The Anytime You Drink Vitamin® works best for you!

The Anytime You Drink Vitamin® is $2.95 per serving because it utilizes the most bioavailable form of each of its 16 active ingredients, is made in the USA, and is patented -- all things that require significant investment. If we made it less expensively, we would have to compromise on many of those factors, which we are unwilling to do.

As a doctor-owned business, safety and quality have always been our top priorities.

The body primarily metabolizes alcohol in the liver using a series of enzymatic processes. The key enzymes and steps involved include:

• Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH): Converts alcohol (ethanol) into acetaldehyde, a toxic compound.(1)
• Aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH): Converts acetaldehyde into acetate, which is then broken down into water and carbon dioxide for elimination.(1)

Other enzymes, such as cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) and catalase, play minor roles, especially after heavy drinking.(1)

Alcohol metabolism in humans is a complex process influenced by a combination of genetic, environmental, physiological, and lifestyle factors:

• Genes (ADH & ALDH): Some people carry ALDH2 variants that clear acetaldehyde more slowly, causing flushing, nausea, or quick intoxication.(2,3)
• Food and Diet: Eating—especially carbs and protein—slows alcohol absorption, lowering peak blood‑alcohol levels.(2,4) Certain foods (like tomatoes) may even speed metabolism by boosting pyruvate.(5)
• Enzyme Activity and Induction: Heavy, regular drinking can ramp up CYP2E1. Alcohol may clear faster, but more toxic by‑products and oxidative stress build up, straining the liver.(6,7)

Environmental and Lifestyle Factors: Factors such as age, sex, body weight, and overall health status influence alcohol metabolism. For example, women often have lower levels of gastric ADH, leading to higher blood alcohol concentrations compared to men after consuming the same amount of alcohol. Physical activity, medications, and concurrent substance use can also modulate enzyme activity and alcohol breakdown.(2)

Your liver works best with a full team of nutrients, so we pack a lineup of science‑backed vitamins into The Anytime You Drink Vitamin® for well‑rounded liver support:

• B Vitamins (especially B12 and Folate): These are essential for overall liver function and help in the metabolism of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates.
• They also play a role in reducing homocysteine levels, which, when elevated, can be harmful to the liver.
• Vitamin C: As an antioxidant, vitamin C helps protect liver cells from oxidative stress and may support liver health.
• Vitamin E: Often highlighted for its antioxidant properties, vitamin E has been shown through multiple clinical studies to lower harmful liver enzymes and ease fat‑related irritation.
