Total game changer

When I first stumbled across Alkaa on Instagram, I was immediately interested but didn't get my hopes up. I've never been able to drink anything containing alcohol without my face turning red, my temperature spiking, and breaking into a sweat. Red wine? Forget about it, instant migraine. I ordered the discovery set and am thrilled to report I enjoyed an entire bourbon based drink (and my husband doesn't skip on the pour, lol) without a single drop of sweat! No flushing! No misery! Oh my goodness, is this how normal people feel? I just ordered a 24 count and a travel tin for our upcoming cruise. Bring on the drink package! 🍸😁 Thank you Alkaa!

Crazy effective!

For such a small sachet, I had four cocktails throughout my evening, the first I left in for 5, second I left in for 10, 3rd 15, and the last I simply left it in the glass the whole time. I noticed a huge difference in drinking the same cocktail I normally do, surely a little dehydrated but much less head fog and "gross" feeling one might correlate with alcohol, I'm not sensitive by any means, I just enjoy cocktails quite a bit, and this has entered my new rotation of things to keep in my bag 🤙

I am enjoying how these work

These are working really nice. I love that they don’t change the flavor and works well.

A large glimmer of hope

So until I came across an advert for ALKAA I thought there was nothing I could do about my intolerance to many alcoholic drinks which just seemed to be getting worse.
I leapt at the chance to try samples and hurray!, this may be the answer! Early days as only tried twice and only with a glass/2 glasses of wine, but much improved symptom wise. Going to order some more and see if leaving in for 10 minutes eleviates all my symptoms 🤞

Hangovers be damned!

I stopped drinking wine a year ago because of how terrible it made me feel the next day. Since using ALKAA, I can happily enjoy wine again without waking up multiple times per night. I wake up the next morning without a headache. ALKAA is a great product because you can also use it in all alcohol including beer. Cheers! 🍺🍷🍸

Amazing toxin removal-Feel the Difference!

This product truly delivers! After a night out or just anytime I want to enjoy a drink I use it, I wake up feeling refreshed with no headache, nausea, or fatigue. The ingredients are effective no weird side effects. If you want to enjoy one or more drinks without paying for it the next day, this is a must-have. Highly recommend!

Making California wines fun again

As a young adult moving to the San Francisco Bay area, I learned wine from the tasting rooms of Napa Valley. From the start I learned Merlot would trigger a migraine, so I stuck to Cabernet for twenty years. Then Cabernet, even in the smallest amounts, became a guaranteed instant nap followed by a hangover headache. Lately I've limited myself to Italian wines; I've been told the difference has something to do with histamines. Whatever it is, that's the thing I'm sensitive to in New World wines.

But it feels weird to be critical of the wine when the family is sharing a bottle, which is most often Cabernet. And I do love a good Cabernet. So I play games of pre-hydrating, aerating for 30 minutes, and drinking the smallest glass. It's a dice roll with unpredictable results, mostly fails.

This sachet gave Cabernet back to me. I placed the sachet in the glass, set my timer, and swirled it off and on for five minutes. The wine needed time to open up anyway. Then I retrieved the sachet and set it aside on a tea rest before sipping. The wine now had a smoother, more refined texture while keeping the expected taste spot on. I repeated the process for a *gasp* second glass, following directions and swirling for ten minutes this time. Not only did I not require an instant nap, but I awoke the next morning with zero reminders of my indulgence.

Due to my own sensibilities, I am not ready to pull one out at the restaurant, but ALKAA lets me enjoy sharing a bottle with the family without having to ask like a bougie snob, "Is it Italian?"

PS: I also tried the sachet with whiskey and had the same result. I am overjoyed.

Amazingly, it works !!

Drinking wine and bourbon moderately has always been something I enjoyed. Unfortunately, allergies caused by sulfites in wine or rye in bourbon often prevented me from fully enjoying them. That all changed when I discovered Alkaa—it’s been an absolute game-changer!

Now, by adding Alkaa to a moderate amount of bourbon or wine, I can enjoy these beverages without any allergic reactions. It’s made such a positive difference in my experience, and I can’t thank you enough for creating this incredible product.

Highly recommended for anyone with similar sensitivities!

Pleasantly surprised

I was hopeful but very skeptical, as nothing I had tried before had worked. I can just report i was able to enjoy a glass of wine for our anniversary, for the first time in years. Thank you.
