The Benefits of a Myers Cocktail IV Infusion
What is a Myers Cocktail?
The Myers Cocktail is a nutritional IV that addresses many health concerns. This blend of vitamins and minerals was first created by Dr. John Myers to treat fibromyalgia, muscle spasms, fatigue, and other disorders.
Since then, the Myers Cocktail has been used in medicine for decades to supply patients with nutrition. Providers often use a “modified” version of the Myers Cocktail to meet current-day nutritional needs.
Nutrients in a Modified Myers Cocktail include Vitamin C, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, B-complex, calcium, magnesium, and a saline solution.
The Myers Cocktail can be administered on its own, or it can be used as a base formula for other IV infusions. Read on to learn more about the benefits of the Myers Cocktail.

Intravenous (IV) Therapy Benefits
With oral supplements like tablets or capsules, a portion of the nutrient is lost to the digestive tract.
Intravenous (IV) therapy allows all of the nutrition to be delivered to the bloodstream, where it can be fully utilized by the body. This makes it a more effective method for supplementation.
IV therapy also delivers larger amounts of nutrients, which can be beneficial for those with deficiencies, or conditions that require higher dosages.
A weekly or monthly high-dose treatment may replace a daily oral supplement (you should consult with your provider prior to making changes to your deficiency treatment).

The Myers Cocktail is a tried-and-true IV therapy for many ailments. As IV therapy has gotten more popular, more and more people are using this IV blend to receive better nutrition and treat chronic conditions.
After receiving this infusion, patients often report feeling relaxed, focused, and having better moods.
