How to buy 'miracle' hangover cure that also 'burns off 70% of calories' from alcohol

It claims to be the 'first-ever product in history' to breakdown alcohol effectively

There's a new hangover cure that has been described as a 'miracle' that helps to burn off most of the calories brought about by alcohol - and here's why you can buy it.

The makers of the new pill claims to leave you feeling fresh as a daisy the morning after a night out, as in theory, it helps you to digest the beer, cocktails and shots you'd enjoyed the night prior.

Most of us know how unbearable a bad hangover can be, with the worst of them costing us a whole day while we rot in bed, eat something hearty and recover to full health.

Everyone has their own way of dealing with hanging though, but it looks like there's a new way of dealing with the booze without cutting it out too much.

Age is a cruel thing, with more people cutting down on their consumption for necessity rather than choice, but a 'miracle drug' might be coming to the rescue.

A group of researchers tested out a pill called Myrkl, which is pronounced similarly to 'miracle', on 24 subjects, 13 male and 11 female.

They were randomly picked to take two capsules a day of the AB001 drug, or placebo, over the course of a week for an alcohol exposure experiment, showing the effectiveness of the drug.

The study found that it essentially 'resulted in a substantially reduced absorption of alcohol into the body'.

How do you get this magic pill then?

Originally made in Sweden, you can get doses of Myrkl through their official website, your local pharmacy or even on Amazon.

It doesn't cost a fortune either as a four dose pack can be picked up for a tenner, or just under that - depending on where you look.

The study explained exactly how the pill worked too: "On the experimental day, they ingested a light breakfast and drank a moderate glass of spirit (0.3 g/kg body weight).

"Breath alcohol tests and blood draws for determination of blood alcohol levels were performed for up to six hours.

"After crossover, the experiment was repeated in the following week. Areas under the curves were calculated to determine alcohol absorption rates."

The official press release for the product states: "Myrkl is the first-ever product in history to demonstrate the breakdown of alcohol effectively (eliminating up to 70% of alcohol after 60 minutes), reducing common symptoms experienced after drinking alcohol.

“Not only does Myrkl break down alcohol into water and carbon dioxide before reaching the liver, but it also eliminates the calories associated with alcohol in the process."

The results reveals that Myrkl has the first formula in history that shows a promising ability to break alcohol down while burning down calories - though it should be noted that the study was only done on a smaller scale.

Frederic Fernandez, Head of Group at Myrkl, commended the findings of the study as he commented: “Alcoholic drinks are known for being notoriously high calorie, due to not only the sugar content in the alcohol, but also the other ingredients that are paired with it.

"Thankfully, our scientists have shown not only that AB001™, the active formulation in Myrkl, can leave you feeling refreshed the next day after a big night – but also that it burns the calories in the drinks consumed.

"This is huge news – and will be particularly welcomed by those who will be heading to parties over the forthcoming festive season, and want to avoid developing a beer belly, or setting themselves back in terms of their health and fitness goals.”
