Myers Cocktail IV

A 60-minute intravenous infusion based on the original Myers Cocktail formula — a well-established blend of magnesium, calcium, B-complex vitamins, and vitamin C developed in the 1970s for general wellness support.

The Myers Cocktail is one of the most widely recognised intravenous nutrient formulations in integrative medicine, originally developed by Dr. John Myers in Baltimore during the 1970s and subsequently popularised by Dr. Alan Gaby. The standard formulation combines magnesium chloride, calcium gluconate, B-complex vitamins (including B5 and B6), vitamin B12, and vitamin C in a saline solution delivered directly into the bloodstream. The rationale behind the Myers Cocktail is straightforward: by bypassing the gastrointestinal tract, these essential nutrients can achieve serum concentrations that would not be possible through oral supplementation. Magnesium relaxes smooth muscle and supports over 300 enzymatic reactions. The B vitamins serve as cofactors in energy metabolism and neurological function. Vitamin C contributes to immune function and acts as a water-soluble antioxidant. Qualevita's Myers Cocktail follows the established formulation and is administered over 60 minutes at any of the three Amsterdam locations. It is one of the clinic's most versatile infusions, suitable for general wellness maintenance, pre- and post-travel support, or as a foundational treatment for individuals new to IV therapy who want a well-researched starting point. The treatment can be enhanced with add-on boosters such as glutathione, additional vitamin D, or extra B-complex depending on individual needs.
