What Is Actually in Circulate

Arginine (an Amino Acid)
Arginine is one of the amino acids the body strings together to build protein, which gives it a part in normal protein synthesis. Some is made in the body, and the rest comes from foods such as turkey, pumpkin seeds, peanuts and lentils.
Taurine (an Amino Acid)
Taurine stays unbound inside the body's cells rather than being built into protein. Scallops, clams and dark-meat chicken are among the richest food sources, and the body also produces a supply of its own.
Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide)
Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3, also called nicotinamide. B3 plays a role in normal energy-yielding metabolism, and the body uses it to make NAD+, a coenzyme found in every living cell. Chicken, tuna, mushrooms and whole grains supply it in everyday meals.
Vitamin B6
Vitamin B6 plays a role in normal protein and glycogen metabolism; glycogen is the body's stored form of carbohydrate. Salmon, bananas and pistachios are everyday sources. How people feel varies.

How Your Circulate Visit Works

Step 01

Everything Happens at Your Address

Choose a time and a place: a hotel room, an office, an event or home, anywhere in Chicago or its suburbs. Your Wellness Angel walks in with the kit bag.

Step 02

Today's Answer Comes From the Screening

Every visit starts with an individual health screening. It decides whether Circulate 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

The Stand Goes Where You Sit

Choose any seat in the room and settle in. Your Wellness Angel parks the stand beside you, keeps watch while the drip runs, and leaves with every wrapper when it is done.

Who Books Circulate?

People who spend the whole day on their feet, by choice or by booking.

Training for a Trip with Actual Mountains

The hiking trip out west is booked, so the training happens where it can: parking-garage stairwells and the sledding hill at the park, with a loaded pack every time. After the longest climb of the week, a Wellness Angel sets up Circulate at home while the pack, still full of water jugs, waits by the door.

Working a Trade Show Booth From Open to Close

The booth opens at eight, the hall closes at six, and between the two you stand on convention carpet, shaking hands and giving the same demo on repeat. Dinner with a client comes after that. Back at the hotel, the name badge comes off for the night, and Circulate is hung beside the armchair.

A Stylist with a Booked-Solid Saturday

A color first thing, then a cut every forty-five minutes, and lunch eaten standing up at the back of the salon between appointments. Saturday ends when the last blowout walks out the door. Sunday is yours: the sofa, the show you have been saving, and Circulate running while you watch.

Sorting Circulate From Its Look-Alikes

Blue Beast has arginine too. How is Circulate different?

In Blue Beast, arginine is one of four amino acids in a blend, alongside citrulline, lysine and proline, and the bag also holds vitamin C, a B-vitamin complex and a mineral blend. In Circulate, arginine stands alone and is paired with taurine, vitamin B3 (niacinamide) and vitamin B6. Blue Beast is $329. Circulate is $299.

The body makes NAD+ from B3. Is Circulate a shorter version of NAD+?

No. They are separate drips with separate ingredients. Circulate carries vitamin B3 as niacinamide, with arginine, taurine and vitamin B6, and runs 30 to 60 minutes. NAD+ is given slowly, over 2 to 4 hours depending on the dose, because a faster infusion can cause flushing or nausea. The 2-hour infusion is $799. The 4-hour infusion is $999.

Is there room in the Circulate bag for an add-on?

Yes. Vita Complex, Zinc Sulfate, Glutathione and Mineral Blend can each go into the drip. Vitamin D3 never joins a drip: it is given as a shot into the muscle instead. Add-ons and their prices are on the IV menu, and your individual health screening decides whether any of them are appropriate for you.

Can the rest of the booth team book at the hotel too?

Yes. Every guest is screened separately before any IV goes in. Our Groups & Events page is the next stop for a booth team.

Saturdays at the salon always run over. Should I book around them?

Where you can, yes. If your Saturdays tend to run long, book Circulate for your day off, when a client running late cannot get in the way.

Can I book Circulate for right after a long training session?

Yes, the timing is up to you. Your individual health screening, which starts every visit, decides whether Circulate is appropriate for you that day, and a visit may be declined based on it. Blue Sky IV provides scheduled, non-emergency wellness services. If you are having a medical emergency, call 911.
