From Frustration to Innovation
In an industry saturated with quick fixes and clever branding, Get Over It founder Chris took a different path, one built on science, persistence, and personal sacrifice. The idea behind the brand did not begin in a boardroom or through market trends. It began with frustration. After reaching his mid thirties, Chris found himself questioning why socialising still came with the same inevitable aftermath. Like millions of people, he assumed hangovers were simply unavoidable. If there were a genuine solution, surely a major global company would have created it already. But after diving into the science of how the body processes alcohol, he realised something surprising: almost every product on the market was focused on hydration, vitamins, or branding, rather than addressing the biological impact of alcohol’s toxic byproducts. That discovery became the turning point.The Science Behind the Brand
At the same time, Chris was already immersed in advanced supplement absorption technology through his work in elite sport and health tech, including launching a supplement range for first team players at Chelsea FC. Combining this expertise with emerging liposomal delivery systems, he identified a significant gap in the wellness market. “The science made sense,” Chris explains. “The absorption technology was the missing piece.” What followed was years of relentless development. Chris spent more than three and a half years testing formulations with laboratories around the world, searching for technology advanced enough to deliver meaningful results. Throughout that period, he watched competitors launch products and dominate social media with formulas he believed were fundamentally unable to solve the real problem. Still, he refused to compromise.Why No One Had Solved It Before
The deeper Chris went into development, the clearer the industry challenge became. Conducting alcohol related trials came with major legal and ethical complications, creating barriers that many businesses simply were not prepared to navigate. “No company wants to tell employees to go out, get drunk, and test products,” he says. “It becomes a liability nightmare.” Despite the obstacles, Chris remained focused on building a product grounded in evidence rather than marketing hype. Eventually, after years of testing and countless failed iterations, only one laboratory had the capability to create the proprietary liposomal formula that would become Get Over It.
