Spring is in full swing, which means summer travel is just around the corner. If your plans involve changing time zones, jet lag can be a major drag, but IV for jet lag can help with your adjustment.
What is jet lag?
Jet lag is a disorder that occurs when your circadian rhythm, or biological clock, is disrupted after quickly traveling across multiple time zones. Traveling across more time zones can make you more prone to experiencing jet lag, which means your body’s internal clock has trouble adjusting to the new time zone you’re in.1 Jet lag symptoms can include insomnia, daytime fatigue, trouble staying alert, headaches and stomach issues, according to the Cleveland Clinic.2
How long does jet lag last?
Jet lag is temporary, but it can make your vacation or business trip unpleasant. The duration of jet lag depends on several factors, including your overall health, how far you traveled and your body’s circadian rhythm. Generally, it lasts a couple of days, but some people may experience it for up to a week.
According to Everyday Health, researchers have found that for each hour to an hour and a half of time change, it takes roughly a day to adjust.3 In other words, a trip from the East Coast to the West Coast can take two to three days to adjust to because it’s a three-hour time difference.
How to beat jet lag
An IV for jet lag may help travelers overcome their symptoms more quickly. IV Elements offers a couple of different IV therapy for jet lag options. Both the Super Myers Cocktail and Immunity Support Cocktail formulas are recommended as jet lag IV fluids.
The Super Myers Cocktail IV therapy treatment is equipped with B-complex vitamins, calcium gluconate, glutathione, magnesium, vitamin C and trace elements of zinc, copper, manganese and selenium.
The Immunity Support IV drip is a blend of B-complex vitamins, B12, glutathione vitamin C and zinc.
Both serve as jet lag IV treatments as the hydrating fluids can help your biological clock get into a rhythm in your new location.
In addition to using an IV for travel to help relieve jet lag symptoms, there’s also some prep work travelers can do to get a head start.
Nowadays, there are several digital flight calculators that create a recommended sleep schedule for the days before your trip and suggested hours that you should avoid sunlight.
