Ever since IV Vitamin therapy began, many individuals have noticed how helpful these treatments can be for various ailments and health concerns. There are many different choices for IV therapy, and most can be tailored to an individual’s nutritional/medical needs and specific situations that can help them achieve their health and wellness goals. Like traditional medical care, a wide assortment of IV therapies are available on the market – including the popular Myer’s Cocktail. The Myer’s Cocktail therapy, which has been around and being used since the 1970s, is one of the most popular and widely used IV therapies available, and with good reason – it works well, it’s safe, and it provides your body with a big boost of essential vitamins and minerals that you may be low on.
What is in a Myer’s Cocktail IV?
A Myer’s Cocktail IV therapy treatment contains various vitamins and nutrients that your body needs to keep running as well as it can. While it is important to get these vitamins and minerals from your daily diet, sometimes it can be difficult to achieve each day – which can cause low levels, taking a toll on your overall health. In general, a Myer’s Cocktail contains the following ingredients:
- Vitamin C
- Vitamin B12
- B-Complex vitamins
- Calcium, which can aid in strengthening bones and teeth, as well as keeping heart rate and function in good order
- Magnesium can reduce muscle spasms, fatigue, and migraines and help prevent cardiovascular diseases in those at risk.
- Zinc can help boost the immune system and keep it functioning properly. Since zinc is not normally found within the body, getting this nutrient is important to keeping illnesses away, regulating many body systems, and staying healthy.
- Glutathione is a powerful and useful antioxidant that can help keep the immune system running properly and aid in the prevention of many diseases and illnesses, such as cystic fibrosis, cancer, and HIV. It is also useful to combat signs of aging and keep you looking and feeling youthful and vibrant.
All these nutrients are contained within a saline solution, delivered intravenously, and provide hydration.
Depending on the patient’s needs and where you are receiving your Myer’s Cocktail, there may be differing ingredients in the IV therapy. Be sure to let your healthcare team know if you plan on having a Myer’s Cocktail IV Therapy or if you are sensitive to any of the ingredients the cocktail contains so that it may be personalized better to your needs.
Who Benefits from a Myer’s Cocktail?
A Myer’s Cocktail is a powerful IV therapy containing a lot of vitamins and minerals. They are efficient in treating and preventing various illnesses. People who can benefit from a Myer’s cocktail include individuals who:
- Suffer from chronic low-energy

How is a Myer’s Cocktail IV Therapy Given?
As the name implies, IV Therapy is given to a patient intravenously. IV therapy is much more efficient than oral supplements, as they are delivered directly to the bloodstream instead of going through the digestive system. IV therapy allows the supplements to be delivered at full potency instead of losing any of its effects.
When a patient comes into the office for IV therapy, they are settled into a comfortable seat and told of the benefits of the IV cocktail they have chosen and what to expect during treatment. Once ready, a small needle will be inserted into the vein, and a slow-drip IV containing the Myer’s Cocktail IV will be given. During the treatment, patients can watch a movie, use their smartphone, read a book, or simply relax.
After the treatment, patients can return to their daily activities with no downtime required!
