Anyone ever used them? Specifically "No-jet-lag" or "Jet Ease" (which are the same thing).

As they were just over £5, thought I'd order some and try them out on my upcoming Vegas trip. They are homeopathic tablets so will probably be a bit hit and miss, but worth a try I reckon.

Never tried (or even ) heard of them but melatonin makes a noticeable difference for me in my quest to avoid jet lag.

I have tried them but like DragonLady prefer Melatonin.

Eh? If they are homeopathic they will certainly be 'miss'.

+1, looks like No-Jet-Lag are homeopathic. Jet-Ease is a mixture of vitamins as far as I can tell.

I've been taking melatonin, but I'm not sure it's done anything to be honest. I think you're better off just letting nature take it's course.

Melatonin works for me too - though I wouldn't be averse to trying the homeopathic ones. I've often found this much-maligned branch of medicine to be very useful.

And before anyone yells 'placebo' at me - all I can say is 'whatever works'!

Yes, 'whatever works' is a good argument for many homeopathic remedies. Unforutunately I had a friend who attempted to extend that homeopathic argument to asthma and malaria prevention and guess what happened..... Just don't try it for things that really matter!

Agree with others. Since I first tried melatonin I have had no problems with jet lag.

Thanks peeps. Will give them a go.

As far as homeopathic remedies go, they're not all rubbish in my experience.

Totally agree with Iozza - speak as you find!

Mrs NH seems to get result with melatonin, I'm not convinced;
Booze or Expresso, subject to time of day required.. ): plus decent daylight exposure

A friend of mine gets very upset if I say Expresso, apparently its Espresso. As I said you say Cappucino I say over priced coffee.

Anyway, back to the thread. Lots of people seem to get on well with Melatonin ... maybe I should try it again. Didn't do anything for me when I last tried it. But happy to try again!

There is also Virgin Atlantic Jet Lag app which I have yet to try but will do at my next opportunity.

Melatonin but I take it several days before I fly (if I have notice of the trip) and several days while overseas or back home. Works a treat for me.

Jetlag can also be avoided by taking your flight in an aircraft loaded with homeopathic fuel!

Jet lag can be avoided if you get as pissed as a fart all the way over and stagger into a car and your hotel ): .

Seriously though, I must be the luckiest person alive since I don't get jetlag - I do try different methodologies though, I rigidly move my habits into the time zone I am travelling to, and use the odd pill to enforce sleep where needed.

The back seat I hope

I am a huge fan of No Jet Lag. I've taken taken them for short hops (BOS-LHR_ and long (BOS-AUK) and more. IF you remember to take them every 2 hours-they work. However, caveat--if you drink martinis and stay awake all night watching movies--they don't.
