Průvodce přísadami RESTORE: Co každá složka dělá a proč patří do vzorce
Table of Contents
TL;DR:
- RESTORE is built around six working components — DHM, Hovenia dulcis extract, milk thistle, a B-vitamin complex, electrolytes and vitamin C — each chosen for a defined role in next-day recovery.
- The formula pairs ingredients that work on complementary pathways: DHM and Hovenia support the acetaldehyde side of recovery, milk thistle and vitamin C support antioxidant defence, and B vitamins with electrolytes RESTORE what a night out tends to deplete.
- Because every ingredient is named with a specific reason for being in the bottle, RESTORE reads as a thoughtfully built next-day formula rather than a generic blend stacked for label appeal.
Most next-day recovery supplements list an impressive ingredient panel but rarely explain why each component is there. RESTORE takes the opposite approach: six working ingredients, each with a specific role, chosen to work together on the pathways that define how the body feels the morning after.
Key takeaways
| Ingredient | Role in RESTORE | Why it belongs in the formula |
|---|---|---|
| DHM (dihydromyricetin) | GABA-A rebalancing and acetaldehyde metabolism support | Addresses the two central pathways linked to how the body feels the next day |
| Hovenia dulcis extract | Traditional co-factor for DHM | Natural plant source of DHM that complements the standardised dose |
| Milk thistle (silymarin) | Antioxidant support for the liver | Shifts the formula from symptom-only to pathway-aware |
| B-vitamin complex | Cofactors for alcohol-processing enzymes | Replaces what a social night tends to deplete |
| Electrolytes | Fluid and mineral rebalance | Supports hydration, which is often the missing layer of next-day comfort |
| Vitamin C | General antioxidant defence | Adds a second antioxidant angle alongside silymarin |
How to read this ingredient guide
This guide walks through every component of RESTORE one at a time. For each ingredient you will find a plain-language explanation of what it does, the mechanism in two to three sentences, and the specific reason it earned a place in this formula rather than being included for the label.
RESTORE is designed around a morning-after philosophy: the goal is not just to take something before bed, it is to support the body through the overnight hours so the next day starts in better shape. Every ingredient below is there because it contributes to that outcome.
DHM (dihydromyricetin)
DHM is the anchor ingredient in RESTORE. It is a naturally occurring flavonoid, most commonly extracted from Hovenia dulcis (the Japanese raisin tree), and has become the defining ingredient of premium next-day recovery formulas for a reason: it works on the two pathways that most directly shape how the body feels the morning after.
The first pathway is GABA-A rebalancing. Alcohol binds to GABA-A receptors and temporarily amplifies their calming effect. DHM helps rebalance this system so the receptors return to baseline more smoothly, which supports clearer mental state the next day.
The second pathway is acetaldehyde metabolism. When alcohol is processed, it is converted into acetaldehyde — a compound linked to many of the unpleasant next-morning symptoms. DHM supports the enzymes involved in breaking acetaldehyde down further, helping the body process it more efficiently.
The research-relevant dose range for DHM in a recovery context sits between 300 and 900 mg. Products below that threshold are typically underdosed for label appeal only. RESTORE is formulated to sit meaningfully inside this range.
Hovenia dulcis extract
Hovenia dulcis is the plant from which DHM is sourced. In RESTORE it appears as a standardised extract that contributes additional DHM alongside the isolated ingredient and brings the full plant matrix with it.
There is a practical reason for pairing both. A standardised DHM dose gives predictability — you know exactly how much active compound is present. The Hovenia extract complements that with supporting plant compounds that have been used traditionally for the same purpose. The combination reads as a modern formula built on a traditional foundation.
Milk thistle (silymarin)
Milk thistle is the second most recognised ingredient in the recovery category after DHM, and for good reason. Its active complex, silymarin, is one of the most studied plant extracts for liver support. Silymarin is a group of flavonolignans with antioxidant activity, which is why it has become a standard reference ingredient in multi-pathway liver formulas.
In RESTORE, milk thistle contributes a dedicated antioxidant layer. A formula that covers only acetaldehyde metabolism misses the antioxidant angle entirely. Including silymarin shifts RESTORE from a symptom-focused product to a pathway-aware formula that supports the liver through its ordinary daily workload, not only after a social night.
B-vitamin complex
The B-vitamin complex in RESTORE is there because alcohol metabolism is a cofactor-heavy process. Specific enzymes involved in processing alcohol rely on B vitamins — B1 (thiamine), B3 (niacin), B6 and B12 in particular — to function at normal capacity. A busy social night can push demand for these cofactors above their usual daily level.
Including a B-complex does two things at once. It supports the enzymes doing the work of processing alcohol, and it replaces what gets used up during that process. Many single-ingredient DHM products overlook this layer entirely, which is why a formula including both reads as more complete.
Electrolytes
Hydration is the least glamorous part of the next-day picture but one of the most impactful. Alcohol has a diuretic effect that can tip the balance of fluids and key minerals — sodium, potassium, magnesium — over the course of an evening. By the morning, the subtle fatigue and thirst many people notice are as much about mineral balance as anything else.
RESTORE includes an electrolyte layer specifically because recovery is not only about metabolising alcohol, it is also about restoring what the body lost along the way. This is a small addition in weight but a meaningful addition in outcome: the morning after is often about the layers of support working together, not about any single hero ingredient.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is the second antioxidant in the formula, working alongside silymarin from milk thistle. Where silymarin concentrates on liver pathways, vitamin C contributes to general antioxidant defence across the whole body and to normal immune function.
The reason RESTORE includes both rather than relying on a single antioxidant is coverage. Different antioxidants operate in different parts of the cell and address different types of oxidative stress. Pairing silymarin with vitamin C gives RESTORE a broader antioxidant profile than a formula with only one.
Why the combination works better than any single ingredient
Each ingredient in RESTORE makes sense on its own — but the reason the formula exists as a combination is that next-day recovery is not a single-pathway event. It involves GABA-A receptor rebalancing, acetaldehyde processing, antioxidant defence, enzymatic cofactor supply and fluid and mineral rebalance. A single ingredient cannot credibly address all of these.
DHM alone is a powerful anchor but does not replace B vitamins. Milk thistle alone supports the liver but does nothing for GABA-A. Electrolytes alone rehydrate but do nothing for acetaldehyde. The combination RESTORE uses is built specifically so each ingredient covers a part of the picture the others do not — additive, not redundant.

Frequently asked questions
Why does RESTORE combine so many ingredients instead of using only DHM?
Because next-day recovery involves several pathways — GABA-A rebalancing, acetaldehyde metabolism, antioxidant defence, enzyme cofactor supply and fluid rebalance. A single ingredient cannot cover all of them. RESTORE is built as a combination specifically so each layer has dedicated ingredient support.
What is the difference between DHM and Hovenia dulcis extract?
Hovenia dulcis is the plant DHM is extracted from. RESTORE includes both a standardised DHM dose for predictability and a Hovenia extract for the full plant matrix. The two work as complements, not duplicates.
When is RESTORE meant to be taken?
RESTORE is designed for overnight support with a morning-after philosophy in mind. Always follow the timing and dosage instructions on the product label and consider your own habits when building a routine around it.
Is RESTORE intended for daily use?
RESTORE is formulated as a next-day recovery formula, used alongside social occasions rather than as a daily baseline supplement. For daily support across other wellness goals, BioEssentials offers dedicated formulas such as MAGNESIUM 5 and REVITAL.
Is RESTORE vegan, non-GMO and gluten-free?
Yes. RESTORE is vegan, non-GMO, gluten-free and independently tested by Eurofins, in line with the BioEssentials clean-label standard applied across the entire range.
