Having a few drinks may feel good in the moment, but that’s often followed by waking up the next morning feeling instant regret—and the physical effects of a hangover. It might be tempting to turn to comfort food or large amounts of coffee, but the best hangover remedies include proper hydration, rest and innovative therapies like IV Drips with essential vitamins and nutrients that can help ease hangover symptoms.

Before you take that next sip, here are the symptoms of a hangover and the hangover IV Drip ingredients that can help reduce those symptoms. 

Why Hangovers Happen

Alcohol causes hangovers, but that happens due to various factors. Because alcohol is a diuretic, it makes you urinate more, which can lead to dehydration that causes headaches, thirst and fatigue. Frequent urination can also deplete electrolyte stores, which are chemicals responsible for helping your body properly function. Alcohol can also increase inflammation, disrupt sleep and irritate the stomach, causing nausea and slowing digestion. 

What are the Symptoms of a Hangover?

Nobody wants to wake up with a hangover, as it can include physical and mental symptoms such as: 

  • Fatigue
  • Headache
  • Increased sensitivity to light and sound
  • Muscle aches
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Thirst
  • Anxiety
  • Irritability
  • Dizziness
  • Sweating
  • Rapid heartbeat
  • Depression

How IV Drip Therapy Can Help Reduce Hangover Symptoms

While symptoms don’t usually last more than a day, there are additional steps you can take to help reduce hangover symptoms, including proper rest, nutritious meals and hydration. 

One of the most effective ways to ensure your body is hydrated with not just water but vitamins and nutrients essential for helping your body recover is IV Drip Therapy. This involves delivering fluids and revitalizing nutrients directly into your bloodstream through a vein in your arm with 100% bioavailability, as compared to only 15-20% through only eating and drinking. Doing so helps your body to more quickly and efficiently hydrate and provides maximum absorption of the vitamins and minerals administered.

The Best IV Drip Ingredients for a Hangover

We offer an extensive IV Drip menu of specific drips, but we can also customize an IV Drip blend specific to your goals and needs, including the ingredients that have been scientifically proven to help with recovery from hangover symptoms. These ingredients include: 

B Complex Vitamins

Made up of five different vitamins, B Complex Vitamins are important for energy levels, stress management, cardiovascular function and mental clarity, and have also been found to help reduce hangover symptoms.  

Glutathione

Known as the “Master Antioxidant,” Glutathione boosts the immune system, improves skin health and signs of aging, reduces fatigue and helps regulate metabolism. But it also has strong detoxification properties, which are essential for removing alcohol from your body, and a recent study in Nutrients found that it can play a key role in reducing hangover symptoms. 

Vitamin C

Research has shown a connection between alcohol and a weakened immune system, and Vitamin C, in particular, is known for its role in immune function, along with helping reduce the symptoms of inflammation, oxidative stress and severity of infections. It also has strong antioxidant properties and can improve collagen production necessary for healthy skin and joints, iron absorption and hormone regulation

Magnesium Sulfate

When someone consumes excess amounts of alcohol, the body slowly depletes its stores of Magnesium, which is involved in more than 300 chemical reactions throughout the body. This includes protein synthesis, nerve and muscle function, strong immunity, healthy cardiovascular function and regulating blood sugar levels. Given this relationship, an IV Drip with Magnesium Sulfate can help restore these levels to help the body better recover. 

Taurine

Taurine, an amino acid, plays a role in reducing fatigue and improving cardiovascular function, physical performance and cognitive function. It’s also been shown to reduce inflammation, support detoxification, and protect the liver from the effects of alcohol. 

Zinc

Vital for a strong immune response, studies suggest that social drinkers who have a higher Zinc intake experience fewer severe hangovers than those who don’t, likely due to the fact Zinc helps to metabolize alcohol faster. 

Amino Acids

Amino Acids are the building blocks of protein and are important for everything from metabolic processes and energy production to muscle repair and recovery. One in particular—L-Cysteine—was found to prevent or alleviate a hangover, nausea, headache, stress and anxiety and may help the body more efficiently process alcohol. 

N-Acetylcysteine (NAC)

NAC is an antioxidant that helps make and replenish Glutathione, reduce the risk of heart disease and improve brain health. It’s also a potent detoxifier that can help protect the liver from the potentially damaging effects of alcohol.
