Vine Tea Extract

What is Vine Tea Extract?

Vine Tea Extract is sourced from the tender leaves of Ampelopsis grossedentata, a precious plant endemic to China. It contains an extremely unique flavonoid compound—Dihydromyricetin (DHM). Depending on its purity, it presents an appearance ranging from a brownish-yellow powder to an off-white/white crystalline powder. Our extract is highly standardized, with DHM content ranging from 50% up to an impressive 98%.

In the modern supplement market, DHM is hailed as a “liver health superstar.” Clinical studies have shown its astonishing ability to accelerate the metabolism of ethanol (alcohol), block alcohol-induced brain receptor responses, and protect liver cells from damage, making it the irreplaceable, premier ingredient for hangover prevention products.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does DHM work for hangovers?

DHM works through two main pathways: First, it accelerates the activity of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) in the liver, metabolizing harmful alcohol byproducts faster. Second, it dampens the effect of alcohol on neurotransmitter receptors in the brain, thereby reducing dizziness and next-day fatigue.

Is the high-purity 98% DHM water-soluble?

Standard 98% DHM has limited solubility in cold water. If you need to apply it to liquid beverages (such as hangover shots), we offer a specially processed water-soluble Dihydromyricetin that achieves perfect, crystal-clear solubility.
