Korean Pear and Red Ginseng are the two main ingredients of Seoul Tonic. Korean Pear contains key compounds associated with the metabolism of alcohol, Aldehyde Dehydrogenase (ALDH) and Alcohol Dehydrogenase (ADH).

If you've already started drinking or are tipsy, it's not too late to benefit from Seoul Tonic, but the original Korean Pear Recovery Tonic works best when taken 30 minutes before your first drink to prepare your liver. If it's too late, we recommend trying our ACV + Korean Pear + Ginseng Recovery Tonic right after your last drink to support recovery. Drinking the original after alcohol may still help somewhat, but for optimal results, prevention is key.

The science behind our Korean Pear Recovery Tonic is solid and fascinating. Korean pear contains natural compounds like dihydromyricetin (DHM) that activate key liver enzymes—alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH). These enzymes help your body break down alcohol and its toxic byproduct acetaldehyde more efficiently, reducing hangover severity. Additionally, Korean pear is rich in antioxidants and electrolytes, supporting hydration, reducing inflammation, and protecting liver cells from oxidative stress. Red Ginseng adds anti-inflammatory and antiviral benefits, further aiding liver recovery. Research, including a CSIRO study, shows drinking Korean pear juice before alcohol can reduce hangover symptoms by 16-21%, improve focus, and speed up alcohol metabolism. Our patented extraction method preserves these benefits, delivering the equivalent of 2 whole Korean pears per pouch for maximum effect.
