NCT ID NCT07332429
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether Alcovit, a powder containing zeolite clinoptilolite and vitamins, can reduce blood alcohol levels and hangover severity in healthy adults. About 228 occasional or moderate drinkers will take Alcovit or a placebo either just before or right after drinking a standard amount of alcohol. Researchers will measure blood alcohol, breathalyzer readings, and hangover symptoms over 60 minutes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Alcovit (zeolite clinoptilolite with B vitamins, vitamin C, and chlorophyllin)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a way to reduce blood alcohol levels and hangover severity after drinking.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early trial with no phase assigned, so results are uncertain. The effect may be small or no better than placebo, and it does not prevent intoxication or alcohol-related harm.
