Jet Lag

One small pinch at the start, then nothing. Your nurse places IVs every day, and our reviews say it more than we do, one client called it the easiest placement she's had. After the line is in you can read, work, or sleep through the rest.

A licensed registered nurse, every time. Not a technician, not a contractor with a weekend certificate. Instadrip is a nursing corporation with a named California medical director, Dr. Fatima Hussein, license #C 175219. You can look it up. Most companies say "physician-overseen" and never tell you whose license it is.

Every needle, line and bag is sterile, single-use, and opened in front of you. Before your first session you have a quick chat with a nurse practitioner or physician assistant to make sure the drip is safe for you. And if your nurse gets there and decides it isn't safe to treat you, they won't, even though we've already come out. That call is theirs to make.

For hydration and for correcting a deficiency you actually have, the evidence is good. Fluids and nutrients go straight into your bloodstream instead of partly surviving digestion. Past that, we stay careful about what we claim, which is why we publish the whole formula on every drip page. A full liter, full clinical doses, every ingredient named. Most companies won't show you that, because most companies are running a half bag.

If you're a little dehydrated and your stomach is fine, that works, and we'll tell you so. The IV is for when drinking isn't keeping up, or isn't staying down. A full liter in about 45 minutes instead of a day of sipping, and on the medication drips the anti-nausea and anti-inflammatory go straight in rather than through a stomach that's already unhappy.

Most of our clients aren't. They're run down, coming off travel, or they have something coming up they want to feel good for. You don't need a reason we'd approve of.

About forty-five minutes from the nurse arriving to the line coming out, or about an hour for the Plus drips. NAD+ is the exception, two to four hours depending on the dose.

The price on the drip is the price. No travel fees anywhere we serve in LA. A $99 deposit holds your appointment and comes off your total, and $99 is the most you can ever lose, on any drip up to $1,200.

Move it or cancel more than 12 hours ahead and there's no charge at all, deposit back in full. Inside 12 hours we keep the $99. That's the whole policy.

Sometimes, and it's normal. A little tenderness or a small bruise where the line sat, usually gone in a day or two. Tell your nurse if the site stays warm, swollen or painful.

It handles the dehydration, which is the part of a long flight you can actually do something about the day you land. A full liter of fluids with B vitamins, vitamin C and zinc. Your body clock resets on its own schedule and nothing in a bag changes that, but you don't have to be dried out while it does.

Most people book the day they land or the morning after. Tell us the flight and we'll find a time.

Yes, a lot of what we do is hotels. Room number is fine.
