THE REAL CULPRIT
It's not the alcohol. It's what comes after.
Your liver turns ethanol into acetaldehyde — a compound that's up to 30× more toxic than alcohol itself. That's what's behind the headache, nausea, brain fog the morning after, liver damage and aging.
Your body has enzymes (ALDH) that clear it, but they get overwhelmed fast.
Counteract adds backup.

Deliver. Intercept. Clear.
Three steps. One capsule. The same pathway your body uses — just with serious reinforcements.
01
Deliver
Targeted release
Enteric coating gets the capsule past stomach acid, releasing ALDH enzymes in the upper intestine — exactly where alcohol is first absorbed.
→ Duodenum & jejunum
02
Intercept
Enzymatic shield
ALDH enzymes activate in the gut lumen and start intercepting acetaldehyde the moment it forms — before it enters your bloodstream.
→ Target: CH₃CHO
03
Clear
Metabolic conversion
Acetaldehyde → acetate (harmless) → CO₂ + water. The toxic load is cleared at the source. You wake up feeling like yourself.
→ Output: acetate → CO₂ + H₂O
THE PRODUCT
One capsule. Before your first drink.
No powders, no chasers, no complicated protocols. Just science that fits in your pocket.
1 capsule, 30 minutes before drinking
Enteric-coated for targeted release in the upper intestine. No need to redose throughout the night.
15 billion CFU per capsule
Engineered Lactobacillus expressing recombinant ALDH2. Shelf-stable at room temperature for 18 months.
Zero stimulants, fillers, or DHM
No caffeine, no herbal extracts, no band-aids. Counteract works through enzymatic action — the same pathway your body already uses.
10 capsules per bottle — $49
That's $4.90 per use. Less than a single drink at most bars. Ships free, subscription available at 20% off.
Got questions?
How is this different from other supplements?
+
Counteract is not a vitamin blend or herbal extract. It's an engineered probiotic that produces the ALDH2 enzyme — the same one your body uses to metabolize acetaldehyde, the toxic intermediate behind hangovers.
Is this a GMO?
+
Yes. Counteract uses a precision-edited Lactobacillus strain expressing recombinant human ALDH2. It is GRAS-status, biocontained, and carries no antibiotic resistance markers.
Will this stop me from getting drunk?
+
No. Counteract targets acetaldehyde — the toxic metabolite responsible for hangovers — not ethanol itself. You'll feel the same; you just won't pay for it the next morning.
What about Asian flush / ALDH2 deficiency?
+
Counteract was specifically designed with ALDH2-deficient individuals in mind. The supplemental enzyme provides backup capacity that the deficient native enzyme can't deliver.
When do I take it?
+
One capsule, 30 minutes before your first drink. The enteric coating ensures it activates in the upper intestine just as alcohol absorption begins.
