What is the Myers' Cocktail and what does it do?
The Myers’ Cocktail is one of the most well-known and widely used IV nutrient therapies, originally developed by Dr. John Myers in the 1960s. It combines a carefully balanced blend of Magnesium, Calcium Gluconate, B-Complex vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6), Vitamin B12, and Vitamin C in a sterile saline solution, infused directly into the bloodstream.
Because IV delivery bypasses the digestive system, nutrients are absorbed at levels that oral supplements simply can’t match. This allows your body to make immediate use of vitamins and minerals that support cellular energy production, nerve and muscle function, immune health, and hydration.
Many patients turn to the Myers’ Cocktail to help combat fatigue, support recovery from stress or travel, ease occasional migraines, and promote a general sense of well-being. Each infusion is administered by a licensed provider under medical supervision, and your formula can be tailored to your individual wellness goals.
The full infusion typically takes 30–60 minutes — just enough time to sit back, relax, and recharge.
What to Expect
Before Your Procedure — Pre-Treatment Instructions
Little preparation is needed before your Myers’ Cocktail infusion. We recommend eating a light meal and drinking plenty of water beforehand, as being well-hydrated makes IV placement easier and more comfortable. Be sure to inform your provider of any medications, supplements, allergies, or underlying health conditions during your consultation so your treatment can be safely customized. Wear comfortable clothing with sleeves that roll up easily.
During Your Procedure
After a brief health review, your provider will cleanse the insertion site and place a small IV catheter, typically in your arm. You may feel a quick pinch, but discomfort is minimal. Once the line is in place, your customized Myers’ Cocktail infusion begins flowing — all you need to do is relax.
Most infusions take 30–60 minutes. You’re welcome to read, listen to music, or simply unwind in our comfortable treatment space while the nutrients go to work. Your provider monitors you throughout the session to ensure a safe, comfortable experience.
After Your Procedure — Post-Treatment Instructions
There is no downtime after a Myers’ Cocktail infusion — you can return to your normal activities right away. You may notice slight tenderness or minor bruising at the IV site, which typically resolves within a day or two. Continue drinking water throughout the day to support the benefits of your treatment.
Many patients report feeling more energized, clear-headed, and refreshed within hours of their infusion. For sustained wellness benefits, your provider may recommend a series of treatments spaced out over weeks or months, depending on your goals.
