Sisun Lee first discovered magic elixirs designed to help with rough mornings after drinking while on a trip home to South Korea in 2016.
Amazed by how effective they were, he dove into research and connected with Dr. Jing Liang, a DHM researcher and USC professor. From there, he created the first version of Morning Recovery, launched on Indiegogo, and raised over $250,000 from customers all over the world to get things going. We’ve been growing ever since.

Partnership with USC.
In 2018, we donated $230,000 to the USC School of Pharmacy to form a research fund. Led by our advisors, Dr. Jing Liang and Dr. Daryl Davies, the team will use this donation to drive innovation in dihydromyricetin (DHM) research relating to Alzheimer’s, Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD), and other anxiety disorders.
Our founders.
Sisun leads day-to-day operations and Misha leads all things creative. Prior to starting More Labs, Sisun led product teams at Tesla, Uber, and Facebook. Misha led product design across teams at Uber and Secret Location.
