Drug may help relieve jet lag
By Jonathan Aiken CNN Correspondent
(CNN) -- Many travelers on long-distance flights walk off the plane with droopy eyes, a tired body and an even more exhausted mind.
But help may be on the way, in the form of a new dietary supplement that shows promise at relieving the dreaded effects of jet lag.
The drug e-NAD-alert uses a form of stabilized N-A-D-H, a co-enzyme found in the body that stimulates cellular energy production.
The company that makes e-NAD-alert funded a study to test how jet lag affects brain function, and whether the supplement can successfully reduce the negative effects.
35 people, who were paid a small fee to take part in the research, were sent on a 6 p.m. flight from San Diego, California to Phoenix, Arizona.
