Myers Cocktail

A 45-minute intravenous Myers Cocktail infusion combining magnesium, calcium, B-complex vitamins, and vitamin C for broad-spectrum nutrient replenishment, energy, and recovery.

The Myers Cocktail is the most widely administered IV nutrient formulation in integrative medicine, developed by Baltimore physician John Myers in the 1960s and later standardised by Alan Gaby. The formula combines magnesium chloride, calcium gluconate, B-complex vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12), and vitamin C in a single infusion — a combination designed to address the most common micronutrient deficiencies seen in modern populations. Magnesium is the cornerstone of the Myers Cocktail: it is a cofactor in over 300 enzymatic reactions including energy production (ATP synthesis), muscle relaxation, and nervous system regulation. An estimated 50% of the Western population is subclinically magnesium-deficient due to soil depletion, processed food consumption, and stress-driven excretion. IV delivery bypasses the laxative effect that limits oral magnesium absorption. The B-vitamin complex supports mitochondrial energy production (B1, B2, B3), adrenal function (B5), neurotransmitter synthesis (B6), and red blood cell formation (B12). Combined with vitamin C for immune and antioxidant coverage, the Myers Cocktail provides a comprehensive nutrient reset that many patients report feeling within hours — reduced fatigue, improved mental clarity, and a general sense of wellbeing. At heal., the Myers Cocktail is the most popular IV treatment and is often recommended as a first infusion for patients new to IV therapy. The 45-minute session at €119 delivers a clinically validated formula that addresses foundational nutrient status before moving to more targeted protocols like NAD+ or mitochondrial support.
