Myers Cocktail IV

A multi-nutrient intravenous infusion combining magnesium, calcium, B vitamins, and vitamin C — the formulation originally developed by Dr John Myers and widely used in integrative medicine for general wellness support, energy, and recovery. Administered over 30 to 60 minutes with a physician assessment included.

The Myers Cocktail is one of the most widely administered IV nutrient formulations in integrative medicine, named after the Baltimore physician John Myers who pioneered intravenous micronutrient therapy in the 1960s. The infusion typically combines magnesium chloride, calcium gluconate, B-complex vitamins (including B5, B6, and B12), and vitamin C in a saline solution delivered directly into the bloodstream. Intravenous delivery bypasses the gastrointestinal tract, which may be relevant for individuals with absorption difficulties or those seeking higher tissue concentrations than oral supplementation can typically achieve. The formulation is commonly requested by patients experiencing general fatigue, low energy, or the after-effects of travel or intensive physical activity. Some practitioners also use it as part of broader wellness protocols. At MediBalans, the Myers Cocktail is the flagship IV treatment and includes a physician assessment prior to administration. The infusion takes approximately 30 to 60 minutes depending on the patient's tolerance and the volume administered. As with all IV therapies, individual responses vary, and MediBalans recommends discussing goals and health history with the attending physician to determine whether this formulation is appropriate.
