What Is Actually in Alleviate

Calcium and magnesium, the two minerals in the bag, play a role in normal muscle function. How people feel varies.

Calcium
Calcium is a mineral found in dairy, tofu and leafy greens, and most of the body's supply is held in the bones and teeth. It plays a role in normal muscle function and in normal neurotransmission, the way nerve cells pass signals along.
Magnesium
Magnesium is a mineral that comes from nuts, seeds, beans and whole grains. It works alongside calcium and plays a role in normal muscle function, in the normal functioning of the nervous system and in electrolyte balance.
B-Vitamin Complex (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6)
The complex bundles B1, B2, B3, B5 and B6. The body gets them from foods such as whole grains, eggs, meat and legumes, and between them they play a role in normal energy-yielding metabolism and normal nervous system function.
Vitamin B12 (Hydroxocobalamin)
Alleviate carries its vitamin B12 as hydroxocobalamin, the same form used in Blue Sky Glow. Most B12 in food comes from fish, meat and eggs. It plays a role in normal red blood cell formation.

How Your Alleviate Visit Works

Step 01

Wherever You Plan to Sit Still

Your own sofa counts, and so does a new apartment with boxes still in the hall, an office, or a hotel room at the end of a long drive. Pick the hour and the room; the visit happens there.

Step 02

The Health Screening Is Yours Alone

Every visit starts with an individual health screening. It decides whether Alleviate is appropriate for you today, and a visit may be declined based on it. Services are provided under physician supervision where required by applicable law.

Step 03

Nothing to Carry, Nothing to Assemble

You keep the seat you picked, and your Wellness Angel stays at your side while Alleviate runs its 30 to 60 minutes. Once the bag has emptied, the IV is removed and all of the equipment cleared away.

Who Books Alleviate?

Mostly people whose week involved lifting, hauling or assembling something, and who would rather not drive anywhere now.

The Dining Chair That Became an Office Chair

The dining chair was bought for Sunday dinners, not five straight days of video calls, and the laptop has been propped on two cookbooks since Monday to reach eye level. By Friday afternoon you have seen enough of that chair. Take the sofa instead, and your Wellness Angel sets up Alleviate beside it.

Back From the College Drop-Off

The car left packed to the roof: a mini-fridge, a desk lamp, three duffel bags and your first-year student. It came back with an empty back seat and a lot of interstate behind it. The house is quiet now. Let it stay that way. A Wellness Angel brings Alleviate to the living room, and nobody needs the car again today.

The Bookcase That Came with Pictures, Not Words

Moving day is over and the boxes are, mostly, in the right rooms. What remains is the flat-pack: a bed frame, a bookcase and a bag of screws with instructions drawn entirely in pictures. Put the Allen key down for an afternoon. A Wellness Angel sets up Alleviate in the only room without cardboard in it.

Good Questions, Plain Answers

I know the Myers' Cocktail. How close is Alleviate to it?

They overlap a good deal. On our menu, the Myers' Cocktail goes by Blue Sky OG, and both bags share calcium, magnesium and the B vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5 and B6. Blue Sky OG adds vitamin C and costs $299. Alleviate has vitamin B12 (hydroxocobalamin) in place of the vitamin C and costs $349. Your individual health screening settles whether the one you pick is appropriate for you today.

We're driving in for the weekend. Can you come to our hotel?

Yes. A hotel is on the same footing as a home, an office or an event. With no clinic to come to, those are the places where every visit happens. We travel across Chicago and the surrounding suburbs, in Cook, DuPage, Lake, McHenry, Will, Kane, DeKalb and Winnebago counties.

Can Taurine or Glutathione go into Alleviate?

Yes, both can be added to a drip, and so can Zinc Sulfate and Amino Blend. Add-ons and their prices are on the IV menu. Suitability is settled on the day, at your individual health screening.

What if something feels off while the drip is running?

Speak up at once. Your Wellness Angel is close by the entire time the IV is in. Blue Sky IV provides scheduled, non-emergency wellness services and is not a substitute for emergency or primary medical care. If you are having a medical emergency, call 911.

Can the friends who helped with the move book too?

Yes. Every one of them has an individual health screening first. Details for a whole houseful are on our Groups & Events page.

No Clinic, No Commute

Leave the Last Box Where It Landed

Your Wellness Angel will set up at the new place, the old place or a hotel room in between, across Chicago and its suburbs. Pick a time. We'll show up.
