Idea

Highly effective, U.S. Patented, Pharmacist and Nutritionist developed formulary for the elimination of hangover symptoms from alcohol consumption. This patented formula has been synthesized into a 2-gummy modality.

Current Status

Original formulary was recently refined into a gummy modality. It has been tested for efficacy and the product finalized into a 2-gummy dose. Packaging has been re-done and only final product produced in limited quantities for drinker testing and distributor samples. We have 3 commission-only sales people with approximately 300 stores for initial direct distribution and one distributor with a significant order.

Market

Well-to-do A21-40 yr olds.
We are targeting alcohol retailers, hospitality industry, c-store, vape channel and B2C through Amazon.

Problem or Opportunity

Much has been spent on the development of the patented formula and are seeking additional capital for inventory and marketing.

Solution (product or service)

This is a highly effective prevention for the vagaries of a well-earned hangover. Our price point is in the middle of the competitive space. This product is targeted to A21-40 yr. old market that wants to enjoy their evenings and be able to be perfectly productive the next morning. This helps them assure that their work performance is not hampered by the previous evening's enjoyment.

Competitors

As seen in the funding deck there are a significant number of manufacturers in the space in a variety of modalities including liquids, pills, patches, powders and gummies. Many have known side-effects most notably upset stomach for the oral consumables and skin irritation with the patches.

Advantages or differentiators

Tested, patented and developed by a pharmacist and nutritionist. Highly effective with no side effects. Anecdotal feedback suggest complaints of stomach upset with the consumables and skin irritation with patches. We have had no reports of any upset with our test subjects. Heavy drinkers are "amazed" by their morning energy. In one case subject, he had consumed a 12-pack of beer and half a bottle of tequila the night before and was energized the next morning. The following evening he repeated his consumption and couldn't make it into work the next morning because he was only provided one 2-gummy dose.
