IV Myers Cocktail

The original intravenous nutrient therapy developed by Dr John Myers in the 1960s, combining magnesium, calcium, B vitamins, and vitamin C. This foundational formula has been used for decades to support general wellness, hydration, and nutrient replenishment. A well-rounded starting point for those new to IV therapy.

The Myers Cocktail is the most widely known IV vitamin formulation in the world, developed by Baltimore physician Dr John Myers in the 1960s and later popularised by Dr Alan Gaby in the 2000s. The standard formula includes magnesium chloride, calcium gluconate, B-complex vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6), vitamin B12, and vitamin C in a saline or sterile water base. Its broad-spectrum nutrient profile makes it suitable for general wellness maintenance, mild fatigue, seasonal immune support, and hydration. The combination of magnesium and B vitamins supports energy production, while vitamin C provides antioxidant and immune benefits. Calcium supports nerve and muscle function. The Myers Cocktail is often recommended as a starting point for clients who are new to IV therapy and want a well-rounded introduction before moving to more targeted formulations. It is also popular as a regular maintenance drip for clients who want consistent nutritional support without a specific complaint. The infusion takes approximately 30 to 50 minutes. Administered by a registered nurse at any IV Health location. The formulation may be adjusted based on the client's initial consultation and health goals.
