b.Ready Gummies: Cleanse. Recover. Conquer.
Chrissy Xu is the co-founder of b.Ready Gummies, a wellness brand redefining hangover recovery through a blend of modern science and traditional herbal wisdom. Inspired by her own struggle to keep up with the demands of a fast-paced lifestyle, Chrissy set out to create a solution that was effective, enjoyable, and rooted in natural ingredients. Together with her best friend Shi, she developed b.Ready—vegan gummies designed to support hangover relief, detoxification, and liver health—empowering others to live life without slowdowns. b.Ready combines patented science-backed ingredients like TEX‑OE®, Preventium®, and Siliphos® with Traditional Chinese Medicine roots such as kudzu and licorice. DeliveryRank features an exclusive interview.
Can you walk us through how you chose these specific ingredients and designed the formula to target key hangover symptoms?
We started with a simple brief: “Blend real science, culture, and sheer ease of use into one product people will want to take after a night out.” That principle guided every choice that went into b.Ready.
First, we dug through more than 80 peer‑reviewed studies on hangover biology and kept only ingredients that showed benefits in human trials – not just on animals. That process led us to three patented actives:
1. TEX‑OE® prickly‑pear extract – linked to roughly a 50 % drop in severe next‑day symptoms such as headache, nausea, and fatigue.
2. Preventium® potassium D‑glucarate – speeds the liver’s glucuronidation pathway so acetaldehyde clears faster, easing brain fog and pounding headaches.
3. Siliphos® milk‑thistle – up to seven times more bioavailable than standard milk thistle, helping shield liver cells from oxidative stress.
Growing up in China, I also watched my dad rely on kudzu and licorice root – staples of Traditional Chinese Medicine – for those same issues. Bringing them into the formula gives our gummies cultural roots that feel authentic and relatable to anyone who prefers natural remedies.
Finally, experience matters. Premium ingredients are wasted if the format is a chore, so we chose vegan pectin gummies – no gelatin, no corn syrup – that taste like a treat, travel well, and start dissolving in the mouth. A natural berry flavor masks milk‑thistle’s earthiness, so even wellness‑focused users keep a pouch in their bag.
Each ingredient tackles a different root cause – acetaldehyde build‑up, inflammation, oxidative stress, or nutrient loss – so we can deliver the right dose of each. The result is a formula that fuses modern science with cultural heritage and is genuinely pleasant to take.
Your website cites a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial showing a 50% reduction in headaches, nausea, and fatigue, along with improved alcohol metabolism and absorption rates. How did you structure this study, and how do these clinical results influence your marketing and product positioning?
We didn’t start with a blank slate—we started with the best human data already available on hangover biology. A standout was a double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study showing that TEX-OE® prickly-pear extract cut severe next-day symptoms in half and sped acetaldehyde clearance. That gold-standard evidence put TEX-OE® at the center of our formula. From there, we added Preventium® to support the liver’s detox pathway and Siliphos® for its superior bioavailability and antioxidant power. In other words, the research dictated both the ingredients we chose and the story we share with consumers: every claim traces back to real-world human results. The research shapes how we talk about the product in three ways:
Science‑first screen – we kept only ingredients backed by solid human data and built everything else around them.
One clear promise – we focus on TEX‑OE®’s ability to cut tough morning‑after symptoms in half and link directly to the published study so readers can judge for themselves.
Trust over hype – leading with independent results lets us talk efficacy without over‑promising and explains why we license patented, batch‑tested ingredients.
By starting with what’s already proven, we avoid guesswork, create a formula that blends cutting-edge science with cultural heritage, and deliver a clear, credible narrative consumers can believe in.
You emphasize full transparency—detailing every dose and eschewing proprietary blends—alongside eco-friendly packaging. How important are transparency and sustainability to your brand identity, and how do you communicate that effectively to consumers?
When I shopped for supplements, two things always bothered me: proprietary blends that hid real dosages and bold claims backed only by tiny asterisks. So we set a simple rule: every ingredient and its exact amount appears on the label.
That choice builds instant trust – anyone can check our numbers against the studies on our site – and keeps us accountable to source the best, batch‑tested versions of each ingredient.
Sustainability is just as important. It feels wrong to talk about wellness while ignoring the planet, so we switched to mono‑material, curbside‑recyclable pouches printed with plant‑based inks and FSC‑certified cartons for larger orders. These upgrades cost more, but customers notice and appreciate them.
We communicate this commitment through:
1. Clear on‑pack Supplement Facts with full dosages.
2. A plain‑language “Transparency & Sustainability” page that explains our testing, sourcing, and recycling steps.
3. A welcome email that reminds customers how to recycle the pouch and invites feedback.
By showing exactly what’s inside the pouch – and why the pouch itself treads lightly on the planet – we reinforce the same promise at every touchpoint.
Customer reviews highlight real-world impact (“no headache, no nausea, no hangover”) and strong emotional appeal. How do you collect and leverage testimonials in your marketing, and what role do they play in building credibility and trust?
Reviews are living proof of how the science plays out in everyday life, so we’re deliberate about collecting and sharing them.
1. Verified purchase only – a third‑party platform ties each review to a real order, so nothing can be faked.
2. Well‑timed asks – we send a polite note 48 hours after delivery, then a follow‑up on Monday morning when most people have put the gummies through a weekend test.
3. No scripts, no incentives – customers write in their own words.
Authentic quotes sit beside product images on our site, open many of our lifecycle emails, and inspire creator content on TikTok and Instagram. Lab data answers “Does it work?” but customer stories answer “Will it work for me?” – closing the credibility gap and often giving us language that becomes our best‑performing headlines.
b.Ready positions itself at the intersection of modern science and ancient wisdom. How do you balance both narratives in your storytelling and brand messaging—and how does that distinction affect customer perception and differentiation from competitors?
We let science and heritage take turns, like two voices in the same conversation. I always start with the evidence – patented ingredients, peer‑reviewed studies, clear dosages – because shoppers want to know the product works. Then I share the cultural back‑story: kudzu tea in my childhood kitchen, licorice root used for centuries to ease “drunken heat.”
That rhythm – fact, then feeling – shapes every touchpoint. Our site has a straightforward “Science” page alongside a companion “Why TCM” page. Visually, crisp molecule icons sit next to subtle plant sketches. Emails and social posts pair a single data point with a quick cultural anecdote.
Customers say the blend feels both proven and personal, and it clearly separates us from brands that choose just one lane: either lab‑heavy formulas with no soul or herbal tonics without data. By refusing to force that trade‑off, we carve out our own space in the category.
