The gold standard. One session. Real restoration.
Vitamin C, B vitamins (B6, B5, B12), calcium, and magnesium — mixed with sterile water and delivered intravenously over 10–60 minutes for complete absorption. Developed by Dr. John Myers, refined by Dr. Alan Gaby. The most widely used IV therapy in integrative medicine.
Myers Cocktail is the most versatile IV therapy available. Here's why.
It's not targeted at one mechanism — it restores multiple nutritional foundations simultaneously. That's why it works for such a wide range of patients and presentations.
Chronic fatigue and low mood are among the most common reasons patients seek Myers Cocktail. When fatigue and depression have a nutritional component — inadequate magnesium, B vitamins, or Vitamin C — IV repletion addresses the root cause rather than masking the symptom. Many patients report a meaningful shift in energy and mood within 24 hours of their first session.
Magnesium deficiency is a primary driver of muscle cramps, spasms, and slow recovery. Oral magnesium is severely limited by GI tolerance — high doses cause diarrhea before therapeutic muscle-tissue levels are reached. IV magnesium achieves intracellular concentrations that produce rapid, meaningful relief from spasms and significantly accelerate post-exercise recovery.
Vitamin C and magnesium both have documented anti-histamine and anti-inflammatory effects. Myers Cocktail is used by many patients as a natural adjunct for managing seasonal allergies and sinusitis — reducing symptom severity and frequency with consistent monthly treatment, particularly during high-allergen seasons.
IV magnesium has a well-established role in acute migraine treatment and prevention — it is used in emergency settings for refractory migraines. At the therapeutic IV doses achievable in Myers Cocktail, magnesium addresses one of the most common underlying deficiencies in migraine patients. Regular sessions reduce frequency and severity for many patients who haven't responded adequately to pharmacological prevention.
Athletes who push their bodies hard often can't maintain adequate nutrition through oral intake alone — especially during heavy training cycles or in the weeks before major events. Myers Cocktail is used by competitive athletes before triathlons, marathons, long-distance events, and season-long sports (football, hockey, basketball) as a nutritional edge. A course of 4–5 sessions in the weeks prior to an event can produce a meaningful competitive advantage.
Patients with Crohn's disease, celiac, IBD, gastric bypass, or other conditions affecting nutrient absorption often can't maintain adequate levels of magnesium, Vitamin C, or B vitamins through food and oral supplementation regardless of dose. IV delivery bypasses the gut entirely — providing complete absorption without any digestive dependency.
Almost anyone can benefit from Myers Cocktail — but athletes, high-stress patients, and those with digestive issues benefit most.
The body absorbs nutrients faster intravenously than through any other route. For patients who fall into any of these categories — chronic conditions, heavy physical demands, or absorption problems — the Myers Cocktail delivers what food and supplements simply cannot.
Six nutrients your body uses for everything.
The Myers Cocktail was developed by Dr. John Myers, a Baltimore physician who used IV nutrient therapy in his practice from the 1960s onward. The formulation — magnesium chloride, calcium gluconate, B vitamins (B12 as hydroxocobalamin, B5 as dexpanthenol, B6 as pyridoxine), and ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) — addresses multiple nutritional cofactors simultaneously. After Myers's death in 1984, Dr. Alan Gaby documented and standardized the protocol, which has since become the most widely used IV nutrient formulation in integrative medicine.
The Myers Cocktail contains Vitamin C, B vitamins (B6/pyridoxine, B5/dexpanthenol, B12/hydroxocobalamin), calcium gluconate, and magnesium chloride — mixed with sterile water and administered IV over 10–60 minutes depending on patient tolerance. The formulation was developed by Dr. John Myers in the 1960s and refined by Dr. Alan Gaby after Myers's death in 1984. Athletes find it particularly valuable: when oral nutrition can't keep pace with training demands, IV delivery ensures complete absorption without any GI limitation.
Magnesium chloride — muscle function, energy metabolism, migraine prevention · Calcium gluconate — nerve and muscle function · Hydroxocobalamin (B12) — neurological function, energy · Dexpanthenol (B5) — adrenal function, fat metabolism · Pyridoxine (B6) — neurotransmitter synthesis, immune function · Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) — immune support, collagen synthesis, antioxidant. Concentrations are pharmaceutical-grade and adjusted for your weight and tolerance.
Decades of clinical use. Consistent results.
The Myers Cocktail has one of the longest clinical track records of any IV nutrient therapy. Formalized by Dr. Alan Gaby from Dr. John Myers's original protocols, it has been used in integrative medicine for 50+ years with a consistent safety and efficacy profile.
From run-down to restored.
We discuss your primary concerns, review any medications (particularly blood thinners or cardiac medications that interact with magnesium), and confirm Myers Cocktail is appropriate for you.
Administered in our comfortable clinical setting. A mild warming sensation is common, particularly as magnesium is infused. Most patients feel a shift in energy and clarity during or shortly after the session.
Monthly maintenance is the most common protocol. Some patients come every 2 weeks initially if significantly depleted. Many combine with B12 injections between sessions for sustained energy.
Medicine that
gets you.
Myers Cocktail quality depends on ingredient grade and concentration. We use pharmaceutical-grade nutrients at therapeutic concentrations — not the diluted formulations common in med-spa settings.
Pharmaceutical-Grade Nutrients
Not all IV nutrients are equal. We source pharmaceutical-grade magnesium, B vitamins, and Vitamin C at concentrations that produce therapeutic effects — not symbolic amounts in a saline bag.
Adjusted for Your Tolerance
Magnesium infused too quickly causes a characteristic warmth and flushing. We calibrate the rate to your comfort, particularly on first sessions.
First Session Physician Assessment
Every first Myers Cocktail is preceded by a physician consultation. Cardiac conditions, kidney disease, and certain medications change how we administer magnesium and calcium.
Combines Well With Everything
Myers Cocktail is the foundation that most patients start with before adding NAD IV, glutathione, or high-dose Vitamin C to their protocol. Starting here gives us a baseline and helps identify what additional support your specific situation needs.
