Acetaldehyde first builds up in your gut. Counteract's ALDH enzyme intercepts it there and converts it into harmless acetate — before it's absorbed into your bloodstream.

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, liver damage and aging.
Your body has enzymes called ALDH2 that clear it, but they get overwhelmed fast.
Counteract adds backup.

HOW IT WORKS
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
Built to clear acetaldehyde at the source
Precision-formulated to break down the main toxin from alcohol - before it reaches the rest of you.
Most options are cleanup — or wishful thinking.
Vitamins replenish, herbals soothe, and DHM tries to nudge your liver indirectly. Counteract is the only one that shows up in the gut and breaks the toxin down at the source.

Counteract™ is an engineered postbiotic that delivers active ALDH enzyme to your gut — the enzyme your body uses to break acetaldehyde down into harmless acetate.
It's built to clear the toxin at its first point of accumulation.
Alcohol converts to acetaldehyde — a toxin up to 30× more harmful than alcohol itself. Counteract™ goes to work on it in the gut: The AL-01™ postbiotic delivers active ALDH that converts acetaldehyde to acetate
Counteract™ is not a vitamin blend or herbal extract. It's an engineered probiotic that delivers the ALDH2 enzyme — the same one your body uses to metabolize acetaldehyde, the toxic intermediate behind hangovers.
It works on the toxin and the root cause, not just the symptoms.
Counteract™ was specifically designed with ALDH2-deficient individuals in mind. The supplemental enzyme provides backup capacity that the deficient native enzyme can't deliver.
One capsule, 30 minutes before your first drink. The enteric coating ensures it activates in the upper intestine just as alcohol absorption begins.
Take another one for added support after a few hours / before the last drink.
