Hangover & Jet Lag IV Therapy in Los Angeles & Beverly Hills

The best hangover IV therapy in Los Angeles

Hangover symptoms can include thirst, headache, nausea, fatigue, dizziness, and poor concentration. IV fluids may be considered when clinically significant dehydration or inability to tolerate oral fluids is present, but there is no proven IV cure for a hangover and recovery still depends largely on time and the body’s metabolism of alcohol.

For patients with clinically significant dehydration, persistent vomiting, or difficulty tolerating oral fluids, IV hydration may be considered after medical screening. Ingredients are selected according to symptoms, medical history, medications, and safety considerations; IV therapy is not a proven cure for a hangover.

What is a hangover?

You’ve probably suffered from a headache, nausea, anxiety, loss of appetite, drowsiness, brain fog, dizziness, dry mouth, or remorse after a night of partying at least once. In that case, you already know the pain of a hangover. A hangover is your body loudly asking for help and wellness – immediately if not sooner.

Hangover symptoms can include headache, nausea, fatigue, dizziness and thirst. Hydration and electrolyte replacement may be appropriate for some patients, but vitamins and IV fluids are not proven to prevent a hangover or eliminate the effects of alcohol. Treatment is selected according to symptoms, medical history and clinical appropriateness.

These vitamins work because of how they respond to alcohol in the body. Alcohol is a diuretic and depletes the body’s fluids and nutrients. Some of those dreadful hangover symptoms may be due in part to a vitamin deficiency.

When over-imbibing, alcohol runs amok in your body, robbing it of fluids, electrolytes, micronutrients, and medications.

Most hangovers improve with time, rest, oral hydration, and avoidance of additional alcohol. Patients who cannot keep fluids down or who have significant dehydration may be evaluated for IV hydration in our Beverly Hills office or, when appropriate, through our mobile IV service.

So, if you’re part of the 11.6 million Americans who go to work with a hangover, read on to learn the detoxification benefits of our IV.

Vitamins for hangover include:

High-dose Vitamin

Vitamin C is an essential nutrient and antioxidant. High-dose IV vitamin C is not a proven hangover cure or detoxification treatment. When vitamin C is considered, its role, dose, risks and clinical appropriateness should be evaluated separately from treatment of dehydration or nausea.

B complex vitamins

B vitamins are water-soluble, meaning they are quickly lost with urination. And B vitamins are essential in just about every function of the human body. For this reason, when you’re lacking vitamin B, you feel tired and have low energy and brain fog.

Glutathione

Glutathione is an antioxidant involved in normal cellular processes. Evidence does not establish IV glutathione as a treatment that speeds alcohol clearance or reliably shortens a hangover, so its use should be considered individually rather than promised as a recovery treatment.

Glutathione is also a powerful anti-inflammatory agent that inhibits the production of inflammatory molecules called cytokines. Interestingly, cytokine formation also increases during alcohol consumption. This means glutathione may help decrease the duration of your hangover but also quickly diminishes your headaches and pains.

Anti-nausea and vomiting medicine

Our medical doctors can prescribe anti-nausea and vomiting medicine to eliminate one of the worst hangover symptoms. Alcohol causes irritation and inflammation in your stomach and gastrointestinal tract, leading to vomiting.

This specialty medicine in your IV works directly to block the signals in your nervous system that cause these unpleasant symptoms.

A combination of anti-inflammatory, headache, and pain medicines

Treatment should be based on the patient’s symptoms, hydration status, medical history, medications, and examination. Fluids or medications may be appropriate in selected patients, but an IV should not be represented as a guaranteed or rapid hangover cure.

Myers’ Cocktail

The Myers’ Cocktail is a popular IV infusion that contains a variety of vitamins and minerals, such as vitamins C and B plus magnesium and calcium. A Myers’ Cocktail is a quick way to replenish your body’s lost nutrients.

IV therapy for jet lag

While the causes are vastly different, the effects of hangovers and jet lag are surprisingly similar. Jet lag occurs when your body’s internal clock (circadian rhythm) is forced to quickly adjust to a new time zone. The more time zones your flight crosses, the worse your jet lag will be.

Flying in general can have detrimental effects on your body. No one likes those tiny airplane bathrooms, so most people don’t drink a lot before or during a flight. But if you aren’t drinking enough water, your body can quickly become dehydrated. And your body needs lots of fluids to function properly – so dehydration is bad.

What are the side effects of jet lag

The longer your flight, the more severe your jet lag symptoms will probably be. The symptoms generally include:

What are the best vitamins for jet lag?

Our jet lag supplement drip is similar to our hangover IV drip. It focuses on restoring lost fluids, electrolytes, and vitamins. Our jet lag IV drips are customized to each patient, but may include:

• Fluids and electrolytes
• Vitamin B-complex (especially vitamin B12)
• Anti-nausea medication
• Anti-inflammatories and pain killers

But, how long does it take to get over jet lag?

Good question! Why waste time on hydration and vitamins when jet lag just goes away on its own?

Well, jet lag can last anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. And having your body and sleep cycle messed up for that long has long-term consequences. If you travel often, the frequent circadian rhythm disruption can put you at higher risk for diabetes and depression.

So, why not spend 20 to 60 minutes relaxing with an IV vitamin drip and give your body the nutrients it needs to recover?

Why choose IV Vitamin Therapy for evaluation of hangover or jet lag symptoms?

IV Vitamin Therapy is located in an upscale boutique-style medical office. After consulting with a physician, you will be prescribed a single nutrient or a cocktail of nutrients, depending on your health history and goals. Sessions typically take between 20 and 60 minutes, and patients are conscious for the entire procedure. After the initial painless pinprick of a needle at the injection site, the nutrients flow into the bloodstream.

Almost immediately after injection, the nutrients begin working. Many patients use this time to read or work remotely. Modernly designed and calm, our medical offices are the perfect environment to receive regular IV vitamin injections.
