Jet Lag IV Drip

Flying across two or more time zones disrupts your body’s normal sleep–wake cycle. Typically, travelers with jet lag–induced insomnia have difficulty staying awake during the day and sleeping at night. This is because their body’s physiological processes—the release of certain hormones that regulate sleep patterns and others—are in alignment with their time zone. It takes time to adapt to a new local time zone, including the timing of meals and the rising and setting of the sun.

The vitamins contained in our jet lag IV drip help to accelerate your body’s adaptive processes by promoting the production of melatonin (the hormone that regulates sleep–wake cycles) and serotonin (a hormone that improves mood and sleep patterns), in turn fostering physical and mental relaxation and enhancing your energy supply to help you stay awake during the day. All these results can be noticeable a few hours after the procedure, whereas for jet lag sleep disturbances to resolve on their own may take as long as six to seven days.

Mental and physical fatigue and generalized weakness are common symptoms of jet lag. This is a result of long-haul flights themselves as well as differences between the old and new time zones, which disrupt your sleep patterns and metabolism, which, in turn, makes you feel tired and unable to concentrate on planned activities.

Vitamins B-complex and B12 are well known for their roles in metabolism and energy production. They help give your tissues the energy they need and mitigate the impact of travel on your mental and physical functioning. Additionally, these vitamins help reduce stress and irritability, which require a lot of energy.

So, the vitamins you receive during our IV therapy will help restore your energy levels and improve fatigue and weakness caused by jet lag.

If you’ve ever had a jet lag headache, you know that it’s an extremely unpleasant and tiring experience that zaps your productivity and concentration.

Jet lag headaches are usually either tension headaches (a dull, squeezing pain that primarily occurs around the forehead and is mild to moderate in intensity) or migraines (a moderate to severe throbbing pain that usually occurs on one side of the head and may be accompanied by sleep problems, nausea, and vomiting). If left untreated, the headache can last up to two days.

Considering the prevalence of headaches during jet lag, we have included anti-headache medications that will provide instant headache relief and improve your overall well-being.

Jet lag–associated sleep problems, changes in usual meal times, dehydration, motion sickness, and disruption of hormonal regulation of the digestive system can cause digestive problems, including nausea and vomiting.

Anti-nausea and anti-vomiting medications administered as part of this IV therapy are very effective at blocking nausea-causing signals in the brain and providing immediate relief from nausea.

Flights, especially long-haul ones, contribute to dehydration because of dry air inside the cabin and limited access to water and other drinks. Dehydration, in turn, worsens symptoms of jet lag caused by a mismatch between the body’s internal clock and the local time, resulting in increased fatigue, headaches, cognitive dysfunction, and irritation. Dehydration also slows metabolism, limiting the availability of nutrients and energy to tissues. The longer the flight, the higher the risk of dehydration.

One of the primary functions of jet lag IV therapy is to improve your fluid balance and prevent or treat dehydration and its consequences. The optimal amount of fluid enters directly into your bloodstream, ensuring its immediate delivery to your tissues and supporting essential physical and cognitive functioning.

The IV fluid (saline) in our jet lag drip is a mixture of water and sodium chloride (table salt) in a concentration that is isotonic; that is, it perfectly matches the concentration of salt in body fluids. It provides immediate hydration and restores electrolyte balance, thereby alleviating symptoms of dehydration, including physical and mental fatigue, headache, dizziness, and irritability. This is more effective than simply drinking large amounts of fluid because it bypasses the gastrointestinal tract and goes directly into the bloodstream, where it is instantly available for circulation throughout the body.

We couldn’t miss B vitamins when it comes to treating jet lag symptoms. These vitamins support our physical and cognitive functioning through their involvement in a number of physiological processes in our body.

B vitamins help quickly relieve the most common symptoms of jet lag, including fatigue, sleep disturbances, lack of concentration, and irritability, in these ways:

• They improve sleep patterns—specifically, vitamins B6 and B9 are involved in the production of serotonin, which regulates our emotional stability and sleep
• They relieve stress and symptoms of depression and anxiety, which, in turn, significantly affect your sleep, productivity, mood, and overall well-being
• They improve metabolism and provide energy to cells, thereby relieving fatigue and brain fog

Vitamin B12 plays a key role in various vital bodily processes. A deficiency of it can lead to anemia, neurological problems, cognitive impairment, mood disorders, and digestive problems. Therefore, ensuring its optimal levels in the body can prevent a range of health problems.

As for jet lag, it helps in these ways:

• It produces melatonin, a hormone responsible for regulation of circadian rhythm and sleep–wake cycles
• It metabolizes carbs, fats, and proteins, helping the body produce the energy it needs from food and nourishing your cells with essential nutrients
• It produces red blood cells, which transport oxygen to our tissues, where it is converted into energy and ensures the proper functioning of cells

In other words, Vitamin B12 helps fight fatigue and dizziness caused by jet lag by regulating sleep patterns and improving the synthesis and supply of energy to our tissues.

High level of Vitamin C provides better antioxidant protection and produce hydrogen peroxide at higher doses that can attack infectious cells.

This IV therapy includes medicines for nausea and vomiting (antiemetics) intended to prevent or relieve nausea and vomiting caused by jet lag. Besides helping with digestive problems, they indirectly improve other symptoms of jet lag by preventing dehydration caused by vomiting, which leads to general fatigue, cognitive dysfunction, metabolic problems, headaches, and dizziness.

Anti-inflammatory, headache, and pain medications contained in our IV drip are very effective against headaches, especially migraines and tension headaches, which typically occur during jet lag. This medicine interferes with the production of chemicals (prostaglandins) responsible for pain and inflammation.
