taken. Hangover severity (based on nine symptoms) and overall
well-being were assessed on a scale (zero to six points, with six
points indicating the worst well-being). Two weeks later, the study
was repeated with the same volunteers except those that were
previously given OFI were given placebo and vice versa.
The researchers found that three of the nine symptoms of hangover
– nausea, dry mouth, and loss of appetite – were signifi cantly
reduced after taking OFI. The average score for well-being the
next morning was 2.75 for volunteers who took OFI and 3.10 for
volunteers who took placebo. The researchers also found that
levels of C-reactive protein were strongly associated with hangover
severity, and C-reactive protein levels were 40 percent higher
in volunteers who took placebo compared with OFI.
“In this randomized, placebo-controlled, crossover trial, we
found hangover symptom severity to be moderately reduced by
an extract of the prickly pear plant, Opuntia fi cus indica,” the
authors write.
