Why Rally?

Regardless of the amount of alcohol that caused it, we have all felt the negative effects of alcohol.  The human body is designed to handle only a certain amount of alcohol; beyond that point, alcohol is saturated within the blood stream and the body has to work overtime to metabolize the excess.  This saturation point varies from person to person and depends greatly on various factors, such as: weight, height, sex, and tolerance to alcohol, to name a few. 



The negative side effects of alcohol are more uniform. Alcohol has been scientifically proven to deplete your Vitamin B stores, cause dehydration and lead to decreased energy & sugar levels in the blood.  In addition, the day after drinking many experience strong headaches, lack of focus, upset stomach, and a propensity to stay in bed watching 80's movies and eating greasy pizza.

These negative effects are so common that we collectively refer to the combined experience as a "hangover." At RALLY, we define a hangover as any negative side effect of consuming alcohol. It isn't dependent on how much you drink, how long you drink or whether or not you get drunk -- if the next day you felt the negative effects of alcohol, that is a hangover.
The creators of RALLY were tired of consuming alcohol and feeling the effects the next day. We were tired of alcohol slowing us down. We wanted to protect our body from the downside of alcohol and create a source of energy and clarity the next morning. We wanted to drink Friday evening and then hit the gym Saturday morning.

So, we created RALLY.

How Rally Works

The efficiency of RALLY comes from its three essential building blocks that work in concert to create the ultimate hangover reducing supplement:

B Complex

B Complex:
The B Complex plays an important role in cell growth and metabolism – creating energy to keep your body going; maintaining healthy skin and muscle tone; and enhancing the immune and nervous system function – keeping you healthy and mentally alert.

Studies show that drinking alcohol depletes the body of its natural stores of the B Complex. With lower levels of Vitamin B, one may experience dehydration, lack of focus and decreased energy.  By supplying a healthy dose of the full B Complex, your body is able to replenish its stores quickly to get your body what it needs to function optimally.

Vitamins
    Herbal Proprietary Blend:
  • Ginger is a versatile herb that benefits the stomach, intestines and circulation system. It will fight and protect against nausea and indigestion often caused by alcohol intake.
  • Spearmint acts as a calming agent to prevent gas, nausea, indigestion and other flu-like symptoms brought on by a hangover.
  • Feverfew prevents those lame pounding headaches that we have all woken up with.  Who can do anything in that state?

  • Guarana is an amazing naturally energizing plant found in the Amazon rainforest.  It is the engine of RALLY so that the next morning you are ready to hit the gym.

Amino Acids
    Amino Acids:
  • Acetyl-cysteine - As your body metabolizes alcohol, the alcohol is broken down into acetyladehyde, a toxin that has been shown to cause dehydration, sleep disturbance and decrease immune system functions. Acetyl-Cysteine helps to prevent these negative side effects by scavenging acetyladehyde and purifying the body. 

  • L-Tyrosine has been shown to increase dopamine, mental energy alertness, enthusiasm and physical stamina, especially in times of physical & mental stress. So, as you put stress on your body (such as drinking alcohol), L-Tyrosine helps to improve mental clarity and physical endurance.

Together, these ingredients work in concert to create the ultimate supplement to ditch the hangover and get you back in the gym.
