How it works

 

Drink a Pre-Alcohol

For best results, make Pre-Alcohol your first drink of the night.

Drink responsibly

Whether it’s a glass of wine with dinner or going out with friends, pace yourself, hydrate, and get a good night’s sleep.

Enjoy tomorrow

Seize your next day—hit the gym, get outside, play with the kids—make the most of it.

A friendly reminder

Alcohol will still probably affect your well-being and your sleep. A healthy breakfast and coffee should have you up and running by mid-morning.

  • Alcohol produces acetaldehyde

    When we drink, our bodies break down alcohol into an unwanted byproduct called acetaldehyde.

    That byproduct is largely responsible for how we feel the day after drinking.

  • Acetaldehyde builds up in the gut

    Acetaldehyde forms in two places: the liver and the gut.

    The liver produces an enzyme that removes it quickly. But the gut does not. So acetaldehyde builds up and lingers, filtering out into the rest of our body over time.

  • Pre-Alcohol breaks it down

    Pre-Alcohol helps our gut catch up by temporarily adding a probiotic that can break down acetaldehyde.

    This probiotic – Bacillus subtilis ZB183™ – has been engineered to produce the same type of enzyme as our liver: one that digests acetaldehyde.

  • Proudly built with genetic engineering

    The ZBiotics team invented the probiotic in Pre-Alcohol – Bacillus subtilis ZB183™ – using genetic engineering.

    Our approach to biotechnology is safety-first and grounded in the strictest ethical principles. We build responsibly or we don’t build at all. Pre-Alcohol undergoes rigorous quality testing at every stage, and we transparently publish our findings on our Quality page

      FAQs

      What is ZBiotics® Pre-Alcohol Probiotic Drink?

      Pre-Alcohol is a beverage containing a patented, genetically engineered probiotic (B. subtilis ZB183™) that helps you land on your feet the day after drinking alcohol. It’s engineered to break down acetaldehyde – the compound your body produces as it breaks down alcohol.

      How does Pre-Alcohol work?

      Pre-Alcohol is designed to replicate the natural process of your liver, but do it in your gut. We took a normal probiotic bacteria you already eat every day, and we bioengineered it to produce the same type of enzyme your liver produces. That enzyme breaks down acetaldehyde – an unwanted byproduct of alcohol that accumulates in your gut when you drink.

      Your liver does not have access to your gut. But by drinking Pre-Alcohol, the goal is to augment your gut’s natural ability to digest acetaldehyde while you drink and while you sleep – helping you make the most of the next day. Just remember that Pre-Alcohol does not affect intoxication or make alcohol safer to drink, so always drink responsibly.

      When do I drink Pre-Alcohol?

      When you're drinking. The earlier the better.

      The probiotic in Pre-Alcohol needs time to “wake up” in your gut, so we say the earlier the better if you can remember it. We drink Pre-Alcohol just before going out – right before our first drink. But it should be active if you drink it any time during the day or evening. So whether it’s a few hours before drinking, right with your first drink, or even if you’ve already enjoyed a round or two, go for it.

      How long does 1 bottle of Pre-Alcohol last after I drink it?

      The probiotic in Pre-Alcohol is likely to stay in your body for 18-24 hours after you drink it. So one bottle will cover you for a whole day, even if you're starting with brunch mimosas followed by evening plans later on!

      Does Pre-Alcohol expire?

      Pre-Alcohol expires 18 months after bottling. Check the “BB” (Best-By) date on your bottle or box.

      Store Pre-Alcohol at room temperature with the cap on. Do not refrigerate. Do not open it until you’re ready to drink it; opening it could potentially let contaminants from the air into the bottle.

      Will Pre-Alcohol change my microbiome?

      That's not how it's designed.

      We intentionally designed Pre-Alcohol so that it would not change your microbiome. We purposefully built our probiotic using a base bacteria that is well-adapted to passing straight through you and not colonizing your gut.

      This creates a few likely benefits: (1) your microbiome remains unchanged; (2) the interaction between our probiotic and your gut should remain consistent and predictable; and (3) because we’re not trying to change your microbiome, we don’t need to use an excessive amount of probiotic per serving.
