Frequently asked questions
Is the Jet Lag IV really worth $220?
Priced a la carte, the same fluids, B-Complex, B12, mineral blend, and licensed mobile delivery would run over $300 in most clinic settings. At $220 with same-day in-room service, you are paying less than a clinic visit and saving the trip across town after a long flight. Most clients tell us the cost is justified by getting day two and three of their trip back instead of losing them to fog.
How is this different from a standalone single-ingredient IV?
A pure hydration bag rehydrates you, but it does not address the B vitamin depletion or mineral imbalance that drive the energy and sleep side of jet lag. A B12 shot gives you a brief lift but does nothing for the liter of fluid you are down. The Jet Lag IV combines all four levers, fluids, B-Complex, B12, and minerals, in one 40 minute session because jet lag is not a single problem.
Why does this take 40 minutes?
A full liter of IV fluid takes about 30 to 40 minutes to deliver at a comfortable rate. Pushing it faster strains the vein and is not more effective, since your tissues absorb at a fixed rate. The 40 minutes also gives the B vitamins and minerals time to circulate, which is why most clients feel the difference before the bag is empty.
Can I get the Jet Lag IV regularly?
Yes. For frequent flyers, once per long-haul trip is a sensible cadence, ideally within 24 hours of landing. Crew members and weekly travelers often book it weekly during heavy travel stretches. Outside of travel, the same formula doubles as a solid weekly hydration and energy reset.
What if I have never had a comprehensive IV before?
Your nurse will walk through every ingredient, check vitals, and start slow. The IV itself is a small needle, similar to a routine blood draw, and most of the 40 minutes is simply sitting or lying down while the bag runs. First-time clients often choose the Jet Lag IV specifically because it is well-rounded without being overwhelming.
Do you accept insurance?
IV therapy is typically not covered by insurance, since it is considered elective wellness care. Ians IV accepts HSA and FSA cards, cash, and all major credit cards. If you plan to submit to your HSA or FSA administrator, we can provide an itemized receipt.
Why Ians IV for Your Jet Lag IV?
We come to you, including hotels and rentals
After a long flight, the last thing you want is another car ride. Ians IV delivers to hotels, vacation rentals, and homes so you can be horizontal with shoes off the moment you walk in.
Licensed RNs with NP oversight on every visit
Every Jet Lag IV is reviewed and approved by a Nurse Practitioner before treatment, and administered by a licensed Registered Nurse. You get clinical rigor in a hotel room, not a watered down version.
Same-day booking that actually works
Travel does not run on a schedule. Text or call when you land and we will work to get a nurse to you the same day, often within a few hours.
Who Books a Jet Lag IV?
Flew JFK to LAX or London to LAX overnight and has a 9 a.m. board meeting tomorrow. Coffee will not cut it and a nap will throw the whole week off. The Jet Lag IV restores hydration and B vitamin levels so they can be sharp by morning instead of fogged for three days. Most book it the same day they land, before the meeting prep starts.
Just landed from Tokyo, Paris, or Sydney with five days of vacation that will not wait. They do not want to lose 48 hours to grogginess, headaches, and broken sleep. The mineral blend and B12 help reset energy and support circadian rhythm so dinner reservations and morning surf sessions actually happen. They book delivery to the resort or vacation rental.
Flew in for a Friday rehearsal dinner and Saturday wedding. Dehydration plus champagne plus a new time zone is a recipe for showing up exhausted in the photos. A 40 minute IV in the hotel room before the rehearsal puts them back in the game without missing a beat.
Pilots, flight attendants, touring musicians, and consultants who fly weekly. The cumulative dehydration and disrupted sleep stack up. They use the Jet Lag IV as a reset between trips, not a one off. Many keep it on a regular cadence the day they land home.
They know from experience that day two and three after a long flight are worse than day one. Sleep is broken, appetite is off, workouts feel impossible. They book the Jet Lag IV proactively within 24 hours of landing to short circuit the slump before it sets in.

Full Ingredients Breakdown
| Name | What It Does |
|---|---|
| IV Fluids (1L normal saline) | Cabin air sits around 10 to 20 percent humidity, which is drier than most deserts, and a long flight can leave you a liter or more behind. Direct IV fluids restore plasma volume immediately, which is the single biggest lever for the headache, fatigue, and brain fog that follow long flights. Oral water alone takes hours and will not catch you up before tomorrow. |
| B-Complex (full spectrum B vitamins) | B1, B2, B3, B5, and B6 are direct cofactors in converting food into ATP, the molecule your cells use for energy. Travel stress and disrupted sleep deplete these quickly, which is part of why jet lag feels like more than just tiredness. Delivering them IV bypasses gut absorption so they are available to your cells in minutes instead of hours. |
| Vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin) | B12 supports red blood cell production and neurological function, both of which take a hit during long travel and poor sleep. The methylcobalamin form is the active version your body uses without conversion, which means faster impact on alertness and mental clarity. This is the ingredient most clients feel within the first hour. |
| Mineral Blend (magnesium, zinc, electrolytes) | Magnesium is central to muscle relaxation and natural melatonin production, which is exactly what a scrambled circadian rhythm needs to reset. Zinc supports immune function, which matters because pressurized cabins and crowded airports tax it heavily. Together with sodium and other electrolytes, this blend rehydrates at the cellular level, not just the bloodstream. |
