Cheers Health Restore Study

Alcohol consumption is known to reduce REM sleep, impair heart rate variability (HRV), and increase next-day fatigue, irritability, and cognitive disruption. Moderate alcohol intake can disrupt circadian rhythm and impair autonomic recovery. Prior research has shown dietary supplements containing amino acids, antioxidants, and electrolytes may support recovery, but few studies have assessed real-world behavioral patterns using digital health technology. Observational data from wearable devices and participant-reported outcomes can offer scalable, ecologically valid insights into how lifestyle products may mitigate alcohol-induced disruption.

Cheers Restore contains a formulation of antioxidants, electrolytes, and plant-based compounds designed to support physiological resilience and sleep recovery after alcohol consumption. This study is structured to evaluate Cheers Restore in a real-world setting without introducing investigational or therapeutic claims. By capturing participant-driven usage patterns and outcomes, the study enables ecological validation and supports responsible product communication aligned with DSHEA and FTC guidelines.
