Take one B-complex vitamin capsule. This contains Vitamin B1 (thiamine) and B2 (riboflavin) which help convert food to energy.
Next, take one folic acid supplement. This helps protect your nerve cells and brain function.
Then, take one magnesium supplement, such as magnesium glycinate or threonate, to help relax muscles and regulate neurotransmitters.
Finally, hydrate by drinking plenty of water.
For extra electrolytes, you can optionally add an electrolyte packet or a pinch of Himalayan salt to your water.
No storage required; consume immediately after mixing. Prepare fresh each time for optimal potency of water-soluble vitamins.
A banana bag is an IV fluid used in hospitals to treat dehydration and nutrient depletion. This oral version delivers the same key nutrients—B vitamins, magnesium, folic acid, and electrolytes—without medical supervision, targeting the root causes of hangover symptoms.
Take it immediately upon waking or as soon as you recognize hangover symptoms. The sooner you replenish electrolytes and vitamins, the faster relief typically begins.
Yes. Coconut water (16 oz) provides natural electrolytes as an alternative. You can also dissolve the Himalayan salt in plain water, though electrolyte powder is more balanced and effective.
This regimen is generally safe on an empty stomach, but consult your doctor if you take medications, especially diuretics or heart medications, as magnesium and electrolytes may interact.
Mix the water and electrolyte powder the night before and refrigerate. Add supplements fresh when ready to consume for best efficacy, as some vitamins degrade when dissolved.
