Jet Lag FAQ

Q: What is jet lag, and what can an effective remedy do?

Jet lag refers to the physical symptoms a person experiences after a long flight or from crossing several time zones. It is also known as the time zone syndrome, circadian rhythm disorder or desynchronosis. It is a temporary disorder that usually passes after a few days, but can take weeks for some people. It can wreak havoc on our bodies, leaving many feeling totally washed out and beyond exhausted. For short trips, where everyday or even every hour counts, this can be devastating. So, the need for an effective jet lag remedy has never been as significant as it is in today’s global mobile world travel arena.

Although there are many things that travelers can do to reduce the symptoms of jet lag, there are effective remedies out there that can speed up the process for overcoming jet lag. An effective remedy should provide both relaxing benefits during your journey, as well as optimizes re-balancing elements upon arrival at your destination. Ingredients that are clinically proven to beat jet lag should be included: these include GABA, DMAE, Magnesium, Chamomile, plus certain B vitamins and several amino acids. A multi-action solution will provide the most effective benefits for combating jet lag.

Q: Do all jet lag remedies work?

Unfortunately, no. Many fly-by-night companies just ride trends, manufacturing inferior products with the wrong ingredients and proportions. They often use cheap fillers and binders that can block the desired effects of other ingredients

Q: What should I look for?

• It must contain clinically proven ingredients such as Magnesium, Calcium, DMAE, GABA, L-theanine, L-ornithine and other calming herbs such as chamomile.
• It must not contain Melatonin.
• It must have no additives, preservatives or any other artificial ingredients.
• It must be 100% pure with proven ingredients to provide relaxing properties during the journey plus optimize re-balancing effects upon arrival.

Q: What about safety? Are there side effects to watch out for?

From our research, we did not find any interference between the ingredients we researched for jet lag and other medications or conditions. If the remedy is all natural then we can see no issues. However, we still recommend consulting with a physician if you have a medical condition or take medications on a regular basis. Also, pregnant or nursing women are advised not to take any supplements without doctor’s approval.

Q: How do I take an effective jet lag remedy?

Ideally, you should take a remedy prior to departure, perhaps during the flight and once you have landed. As with any type of pill, you should not exceed the daily dosage as recommended by the manufacturer, since this can pose health risks.

Q: How long will it take to see the effects?

Some customers we spoke to reported seeing results immediately, for others, it took until the next morning after arrival, to feel the benefits. Results also seem to be a bit different for each person. Many of the reputable brands we reviewed offer refunds to customers who don’t see the results they want.

Q: How much do jet lag remedies cost?

The cost of jet lag remedies varies based on the manufacturer. Many of them are worthless, just random companies with cheap quality products trying to cash in on a trend. Some of these companies sell their remedies for as much as $100 per bottle, which we think is a bit too high. Most of the really good remedies we tested fell in the $40-$50 range. Others may appear cheaper, but they often use unnecessary ingredients and fillers that are not as effective as the ones found in a premium formula.
