Low Energy During Ramadan 2026? How IV Drip Therapy & NAD+ Can Help
Ramadan 2026 is here. For those observing, it's a sacred month of reflection, discipline, and community. The spiritual rewards are great, but the physical adjustment can be difficult.
By mid-afternoon, many of us know that feeling:
- the heavy eyelids
- the brain fog
- the sudden need of a nap
If you are dragging yourself through the day and counting down to Iftar, you are not alone. That sluggish or lazy feeling? Everyone gets it at some point.
We all know the classic advice: eat oats at Suhoor, drink water at night. And yes, that works. But sometimes, it's just not enough.
That’s why more people in 2026 are trying something different: IV Drip Therapy and NAD+ treatments. It’s a smarter way to help your body bounce back.
In this blog, we will talk about why you feel so tired, and how this wellness trend is helping people actually feel human again during Ramadan.
Why Does Ramadan Fatigue Hit So Hard?
Before exploring solutions for Ramadan fatigue, it's crucial to understand why your body might feel utterly drained.
When you fast, your body changes how it gets energy. First, it uses the sugar (glucose) stored in your liver and muscles. When the sugar runs out, your body starts burning fat for fuel. This change is normal but can make you feel tired. Yes, nothing to be afraid of.
The main issue behind 3 PM crash are usually:
1. Dehydration
Fluid loss is an inevitable consequence of going without water for over 12 hours. This effect is significantly intensified in warmer climates, leading to dehydration and resulting in a general feeling of bodily weakness.
2. Electrolyte Imbalance
Losing water depletes your body of essential minerals like sodium, potassium, and magnesium—all critical for proper muscle function and energy levels. Fortunately, the trendy solution of IV hydration express is now available to address these deficiencies.
3. Blood Sugar Dips
Skipping meals results in a drop in blood sugar, which manifests as weakness and difficulty concentrating. These symptoms can be mitigated by eating healthy meals.
4. Caffeine Withdrawal
If you are a regular tea or coffee drinker, the sudden stop can trigger headaches and severe fatigue in the first few days. A quick tip: Caffeine addicts can ease this transition by gradually reducing their tea or coffee intake a few days before the fast begins.

The Old School vs. The New School
The traditional method like eating slow-digesting foods and drinking water after Iftar is non-negotiable; it’s basically the foundation. But that method takes time, and your body has to digest that water and those nutrients.
However, a trendy at-home IV drip is different. It sends fluids and vitamins directly into your bloodstream. And with this you feel immediately rehydrated and replenished almost instantly.
What is IV Drip Therapy?
Think of IV therapy as the "express lane" for hydration and nutrition. When you drink water, it has to go through your digestive system, which takes time and limits how much is actually absorbed.
IV drips deliver fluids, vitamins, and minerals directly into your bloodstream. This means immediate absorption.
For someone fasting, IVs are going to be a game-changer because it rehydrates you and replenishes nutrients almost instantly, without you having to digest anything.
To determine the most suitable IV treatment, we strongly advise customers to first complete a CBC test. The results of this test will indicate the ideal IV therapy for your needs.
The "NAD+" Difference
While scrolling through our website/app, you have probably read about NAD+. So, this isn't just a vitamin drip; it’s a coenzyme found in every cell of your body. It plays a critical role in energy production and repairing DNA.
As we age and undergo physical stress (like fasting), our NAD+ levels drop. This contributes to that feeling of mental fatigue and low energy.
An IV NAD+ drip helps replenish these levels at the cellular level, and this IV is specifically ideal before or during Ramadan to help boost energy and immunity.
How IV Therapy Can Help During Ramadan 2026
So, how exactly do you fit a drip into your fasting schedule? The timing is flexible, but here’s how people are using it this year:
● Pre-Ramadan Approach
The best time for your IV session is before Ramadan. Having these sessions with vitamins, antioxidants, and NAD+ a few days before the first fast prepares your body for the month.
● The Mid-Ramadan Boost
Are you feeling drained in the second week? Valeo Health recommends you to book an IV drip after Iftar. It helps in replacing lost fluids and nutrients so you wake up for Suhoor feeling stronger and healthy.
● Post-Iftar Recovery
Like us, some Dubai clinics provide at-home IV drip services. This allows you to receive treatment in the familiar comfort of your home, office, or hotel after breaking your fast, helping you quickly regain energy for night prayers.
Is IV Treatment Permissible (Halal) During Fasting?
A common question for practicing Muslims is whether receiving an injection breaks your fast.
According to religious scholars, medication administered through injection or an IV method does NOT invalidate your fast. The reasoning is that it does not enter through the mouth in the manner of eating and drinking, nor does it provide physical nourishment in the same way food does.
However, as with anything health-related, it is best to consult with your own religious authority and, of course, your doctor.
The Bottom Line
Look, Ramadan is about feeding your soul, not just surviving until sunset. You shouldn't have to drag yourself through the day like a zombie just to get the spiritual benefits.
Eating right at Suhoor and chugging water at night will always be the foundation; that’s not changing. But if you are doing all that and still hitting a wall by midday, why suffer through it?
IV drips & NAD+ injections aren't about taking shortcuts. They are just a modern way to give your body a little backup when it needs it most. And it offers you these benefits:
● Powering up your cells
● Supporting hydration
● Enhancing focus
● Improving presence throughout the day
At the end of the day, whether it’s a cold plunge to wake you up or a drip to recharge you, the goal is simple: to feel good enough to fully show up for Ramadan 2026.
