Counteract™ is a postbiotic that delivers active ALDH enzyme to your gut — the enzyme your body uses to break down acetaldehyde, the most toxic byproduct in alcohol.
Unlike traditional recovery supplements built around vitamins and herbs, Counteract takes a more targeted approach. It's built to clear the toxin at its first point of accumulation.

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 SUPPORT SMARTER ALCOHOL METABOLISM
Precision-formulated to break down the main toxin from alcohol - before it reaches the rest of you.
-
1
Clearance Where It Starts*
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.
-
2
Feel Better the Next Day*
Designed to support a smoother, more functional next-day experience.
-
3
Flush Response Support*
If you go red after one drink, your body clears acetaldehyde slowly by default. Counteract adds ALDH capacity exactly where it's missing.
-
4
Support Natural Alcohol Metabolism*
Works with a key pathway your body already uses to process alcohol.
-
5
Upstream, Not After-the-Fact*
Vitamins replenish and herbals soothe symptoms after the damage is done. Counteract works on the toxin itself — the one intervention that actually addresses the cause.
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.

When you drink alcohol, your body breaks it down in two main steps:
- Alcohol → Acetaldehyde: Alcohol is converted into a toxic byproduct called acetaldehyde, a compound 30x more toxic than alcohol.
- Acetaldehyde → Acetate: An enzyme called ALDH helps break down acetaldehyde.
Counteract is designed around the second step, delivering ALDH activity to the digestive tract to help break down acetaldehyde.
Counteract takes a targeted, enzyme-powered approach to alcohol metabolism, designed to support:
- Acetaldehyde Breakdown: Targets a toxic byproduct produced when your body processes alcohol.
- Next-Day Wellness: Developed with the goal of helping you feel fresher the next morning.
- Alcohol Flush Support: Designed around the enzyme pathway involved in alcohol-related flushing.
- Natural Alcohol Metabolism: Uses ALDH, an enzyme your body naturally relies on.
- Gut-Targeted Action: Designed to deliver active enzymes directly to your digestive tract.
Most traditional hangover supplements rely on vitamins, electrolytes, and herbal extracts to support recovery or attempt damage control.
Counteract takes a different approach — counteracting the toxic alcohol byproduct itself.
Using precision fermentation, we produce ALDH, a functional enzyme that naturally breaks down acetaldehyde.
Our non-living postbiotic is designed to deliver this enzyme activity in the gut, without relying on live bacteria to grow or produce enzymes after consumption.
It's targeted enzyme technology, not just another vitamin blend.
Acetaldehyde is a group 1 carcinogen produced when your body processes alcohol.
It's associated with alcohol-related flushing and contributes to alcohol's harmful effects. That's why acetaldehyde metabolism is an important part of the targeted mechanism behind Counteract.
ALDH is an enzyme your body naturally produces to help convert acetaldehyde into acetate, a much less harmful compound that can be further metabolized.
Counteract uses precision fermentation to produce additional ALDH enzyme activity for its postbiotic formulation.
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.
No. Counteract does not prevent intoxication, make alcohol harmless, or establish that you can safely drink more.
It is not a substitute for moderation, hydration, food, or sleep. Never drink and drive.
If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, avoid alcohol. Counteract should not be used as a way to make alcohol consumption safer.
If you take medication, have a medical condition, or have concerns about enzyme-based supplements, speak with your healthcare professional before use.
