The £1 hangover pill that is now on sale in the UK after 30 years of development

Following more than three decades of research and design, a pill which promises to cure hangovers will go on sale in the UK. The pill was initially invented in 1990 by scientist Johan de Faire, and claims to rapidly break down alcohol.

Now rebranded as Myrkl, the pill will be available in the UK with a £30 price tag set for a pack of 30. Those who take two pills between one and 12 hours before drinking will break down 70 per cent of the alcohol that they consumed after 60 minutes, according to a study in the journal Nutrition and Metabolic Insights.

The supplement has been independently clinically tested and also claims to boost energy levels thanks to vitamin B12. The pill is 100 per cent natural & vegan, according to Myrkl, who have also said that all ingredients are authorised and recognised as safe by the European Food Safety Agency (EFSA).
