Alcohol Defense Review
Original post in this thread

I received a sample of Alcohol Defense with one of my Nootropics Depot orders. I drank a lot at a holiday party and tried it out before going to bed. I think it worked ok.
Though the next day, for a good portion of the day, I felt very mildly crappy. It was a crappiness feeling I've not really experienced before even when I've drank a lot in the past. Not sure if the Alcohol Defense had anything to do with it. I suppose I'd have to try it again in the future if I wanted to confirm.
The question is whether I will actually buy the product. My answer is probably not. I don't drink large amounts too often to warrant needing to buy a bottle of 60 capsules, which is the smallest size bottle offered. When would the bottle expire? Throughout my entire life, I don't think I would've needed to use an entire bottle of this. If you think I should use this whenever I drink even if I don't drink a lot, then I feel it's kind of expensive for that.
Though I would consider buying it if 1) the cost per capsule was lower; 2) I could buy individual packs instead of a whole bottle (or a much smaller sized bottle)
I do applaud you for creating this product though and I look forward to your future p…

Thanks for the feedback!
The feeling you had the next day was likely a tired feeling due to the glycine. We put glycine in the stack last minute because some people were unable to sleep on the formula before. The glycine definitely made sleeping easier, but it does cause some people to be lethargic the next day. So we are considering making a second formula for the daytime without glycine. It's hard to balance effects for everyone's body chemistry. There are some people who are dumbfounded by how well this stack works, and others that say it's just okay. It's going to take a couple different formulas for us to get something for everyone's chemistry.
The ginger extract we have in it is also VERY potent. So if you have a ginger allergy, this stack is probably not a good idea. We are going to release another formula with a different 5-HT3 antagonist for those that don't react well to ginger. We have a lot in the works, actually.
Regarding your feedback on the bottle sizing, we are already working on that. We are going to have a 10 pack of the single serve packets available for purchase. We are also going to be distributing them into stores. We are just finalizing the box design now. So you should be able to buy a single packet last minute at a gas station if you forget. I think many people are going to like that option. Not everyone plans ahead for 30 servings of an alcohol defense stack, but many people would pick a single serving up at a store the day of drinking. We do have some people that are already on their second 120 count bottle, though. Haha
