Two Myrkl pills need to be taken two hours before drinking. It then keeps breaking down alcohol for up to 12 hours.
It contains bacteria Bacillus Coagulans and Bacillus Subtilis enriched amino acid L-Cysteine and vitamin B12, which break down alcohol in the gut before it reaches the liver.
The supplement was created by Swedish medical company De Faire Medical (DFM).
All the ingredients are authorised and recognised as safe by the European Food Safety Agency and the US Food Drug Administration.
Mr Magnusson said: ‘Marking the first time in history that a consumer product is demonstrated to effectively and rapidly break down alcohol, we are very excited to be launching this ground-breaking product in the UK and in most European markets.
‘Moderate social drinking is a huge part of British culture, with the majority of British people heading out each week to enjoy a few drinks together.
‘Myrkl’s purpose is therefore to help those regular moderate drinkers to wake up feeling their best the next day, whether they’re a busy working professional, young parents, or seniors who want to maintain an active social life.’
Mr Magnusson added: ‘The independent clinical trials prove just how powerful this product is at breaking down alcohol.
‘Whilst Myrkl is in no way designed as an excuse to drink beyond NHS guidelines, we are really convinced that Myrkl is a game-changing product for those regular moderate drinkers, and we can’t wait for the British public to try it out.’
