The Myers’ Cocktail is a vitamin and mineral infusion administered via IV drip. Dr. John Myers developed the IV cocktail as a means of delivering nutrients directly into the bloodstream. In the years since Myers’ passing in 1984, his formula has been modified to treat specific health issues like fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, and nutrient deficiencies. Athletes and busy professionals often find that Myers’ Cocktail supports their lifestyles, making it easier to stay healthy.

How Does the Myers’ Cocktail Work?

Myers’ Cocktails are a combination of concentrated B vitamins, vitamin C, magnesium, and calcium designed to restore balance and support bodily functions. Electrolytes and glutathione are standard components that can be added to the traditional cocktail. Many athletes have adopted Myers’ Cocktails to accelerate recovery and enhance energy levels for optimal performance.

Professionals with busy lifestyles have also taken note of the restorative effects of Myers’ Cocktails. Those who travel regularly for meetings, oversee large teams, or work long hours at a start-up can benefit from the fast and effective infusions. Most of our patients experience a noticeable increase in energy, mental clarity, and motivation within 12 to 24 hours after treatment.

The Benefits of The Myers’ Cocktail

While a single Myers’ Cocktail infusion is not a cure, the formula can provide valuable support for patients dealing with chronic health conditions. The B vitamins in the cocktail play a vital role in energy production, which can aid in the recovery from fatigue, exhaustion, and burnout. Many health-conscious patients who want to reduce their caffeine intake use Myers’ infusions to maintain stable energy levels.

Vitamin C is a powerful ingredient that protects you from free radicals, promotes collagen production, and contributes to a healthy, youthful glow. Magnesium can help reduce inflammation, which is a contributing factor to a range of illnesses. Most of our patients visit us for monthly or bi-monthly infusions as part of their wellness regimen.

How the Myers’ Cocktail Supports Athletes and Professionals

Athletes and professionals with busy and demanding lifestyles can experience a range of health issues due to low vitamin and mineral levels. It’s important for those who are constantly busy to have a reliable method to protect their health and restore crucial nutrients. Myers’ Cocktails offer a quick and painless treatment option that meets the needs of our busiest patients.

Energy Boost

Chronic fatigue affects millions of people worldwide and can have a profound impact on productivity, mental health, and the ability to perform daily tasks. The B vitamins in the Myers’ Cocktail act as fuel for the mitochondria, which are responsible for energy production. If you often feel tired or struggle to stay awake after a night’s sleep, the Myers’ Cocktail may provide the boost you need to reach your full potential.

Immune Support

The Myers’ Cocktail delivers high-dose vitamin C directly to the bloodstream. While oral vitamin C supplements can provide a maximum of 200mg, IV therapy can provide up to 40 times more. At such high concentrations, vitamin C can boost your immune system and tackle inflammation. For individuals who experience seasonal allergies and food sensitivities, research suggests that high-dose vitamin C can reduce histamine levels by up to 72% in the body.

Athletic Recovery

Many professional athletes use the Myers’ Cocktail to address dehydration, reduce muscle pain, and speed up recovery. Magnesium, electrolytes, and amino acids help muscles heal faster after strenuous workouts. Events like races can be physically exhausting, with athletes often feeling completely depleted. After a workout or extended period of exertion, the Myers’ Cocktail can provide the support you need to resume training as soon as possible.

Rapid Rehydration

IV drips provide instant rehydration and are usually administered in hospitals to treat severe dehydration. Illness, strenuous workouts, and heat exposure can cause fluid loss, which can be difficult to recover from with water alone. The Myers’ Cocktail contains key minerals that restore electrolyte balance, increase fluid levels, and aid in recovery from illnesses, physical exertion, and dehydration.

Address Nutrient Deficiencies

Chronic illnesses such as cystic fibrosis and Crohn’s disease can cause malabsorption, leading to severe nutrient deficiencies. Without the proper balance of vitamins and minerals in the body, patients can become weak, vulnerable to flu viruses, and more likely to experience neurological problems. Myers’ Cocktails can provide these vital nutrients directly into the bloodstream, bypassing gastrointestinal malabsorption.

What to Expect From a Myers’ Cocktail Infusion

At your first IV therapy appointment, you will be asked several questions about your medical history and current health so we can customize your cocktail. It will take approximately 10-15 minutes to check your vitals and prepare you for your infusion. Sessions typically take 30-60 minutes and require no recovery period. You may experience improved mental clarity before your session is over, with most patients enjoying the full benefits within 72 hours.

Side Effects and Risks

Myers’ Cocktails are usually well-tolerated. A common side effect is a warm sensation, caused by magnesium relaxing and widening blood vessels. When vessels dilate or widen, blood can flow more easily, increasing circulation and creating that warm feeling.

Some patients may experience lightheadedness, nausea, or mild headaches. Patients with underlying heart conditions, pregnant and breastfeeding parents, and those with kidney disease are usually not good candidates, so it’s essential to be honest about your health.
