If long flights wreck your first vacation days, this review is for you. I tested No-Jet-Lag (homeopathic tablets by Miers Laboratories) on a 12-day Europe trip with my boys, two red-eyes, tight turnarounds, and school the next morning after we got back. Below is exactly how we used it, what happened, what didn’t, and who I think it’s best for.
What Is No-Jet-Lag?
Short overview: homeopathic tablets with five ingredients (Arnica montana, Bellis perennis, Chamomilla, Ipecacuanha, Lycopodium) marketed to reduce jet lag symptoms. Note: not a sedative; taken during travel per label.
How I Tested It (Our Route & Timing)
- Outbound: Overnight flight to London (arr Fri ~7:00 a.m.); full day out before hotel check-in.
- Return: Landed Monday night; school/work Tuesday morning.
- How we took it: We followed the package directions (pre-flight, during flight at intervals, and after landing).
- What we felt: No heavy “what time zone am I in?” crash; able to walk the city and function normally next day. Same on return.
Since then, I’ve used No-Jet-Lag on many long-haul flights, back-and-forth to Asia a few times, back to Europe, and more, and our results have been consistent: we land feeling functional, without that heavy ‘what time zone am I in?’ fog. Everyone’s different, but for us it’s earned a permanent spot in the carry-on.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Easy to take; no drowsiness for us
- Worked for our family on two long-hauls
- Kid-friendly dosing per label (confirm age guidance on package)
Cons
- Homeopathic (evidence is mixed; results can vary)
- Must remember doses throughout the flight
- Not a replacement for sleep, hydration, or light management.
Are There Side Effects?
We had none. Always read the label and talk to a professional if you’re pregnant, nursing, have medical conditions, or are giving to young children.
How to Use (Summary)
- Take as directed on the package: one dose before boarding, repeat at intervals in flight, and one after landing.
- Combine with basics: hydrate, avoid excess alcohol, get daylight at destination morning, and time short naps.
No-Jet-Lag vs. Other Options
- Melatonin: evidence for sleep timing; can cause grogginess for some.
- Caffeine/nap timing: helps alertness but can disrupt sleep.
- Light exposure: strongest cue for body clock, morning light when flying east, afternoon light when flying west (general rule).
FAQs
Does No-Jet-Lag make you sleepy?
No, our experience was normal alertness; it isn’t a sedative.
Can kids take it?
Check the package guidance and consult a professional for your child’s situation.
Will it work on ultra-long flights (12–15 hrs)?
Many travelers report using it on long-hauls; dose per label and pair with sleep/light strategies.
Any interactions?
Read the label and ask a professional if you take other meds or have conditions.
Verdict
For us, No-Jet-Lag was a lightweight, no-drowse add-on that helped us hit the ground running. Results can vary, but paired with sleep/light tactics, it’s worth a try if long-hauls usually flatten you.
