The Myers' Cocktail is the "gold standard" of IV vitamin therapy. It is the most famous and widely used IV formula in the world. It is designed to be a "multivitamin for the bloodstream," providing a potent blend of essential nutrients that support overall immune function, energy levels, and cellular repair.

What it is

The classic formula is a precise balance of four key components

• Magnesium Chloride: Relaxant for nerves and muscles; supports heart health.
• Calcium Gluconate: Essential for bone health and healthy blood pressure.
• Vitamin B-Complex: Includes B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, and B12 to fuel energy and brain function.
• Vitamin C: A powerful antioxidant for immune support and collagen production.
• Sterile Saline: The base fluid that provides instant rehydration.

Benefits

• Instant Energy Boost: B-vitamins help convert food into fuel, providing a more stable energy lift than caffeine.
• Immune System Support: High-dose Vitamin C helps the body fight off seasonal illnesses and reduces inflammation.
• Stress & Anxiety Relief: Magnesium helps regulate the nervous system and relaxes tight muscles.
• Migraine & Headache Relief: Known specifically for its ability to reduce the frequency and intensity of chronic headaches.
• Improved Sleep: By balancing electrolytes and relaxing the body, many users report deeper, more restorative sleep.

Who is it good for

• The "Burned Out": People dealing with chronic fatigue, high stress, or general exhaustion.
• Frequent Travelers: To combat jet lag and boost immunity before or after flights.
• People with Chronic Conditions: Often used to manage symptoms of Fibromyalgia, Asthma, and Seasonal Allergies.
• Recovery Seekers: Those bouncing back from a cold, flu, or a period of poor nutrition.

When is it used

• Monthly Maintenance: Many people use it once a month as a "nutritional insurance policy."
• When Feeling "Run Down": At the first sign of a scratchy throat or general lethargy.
• Post-Exertion: After a major event, race, or high-stress work deadline.

Side Effects

• The "Magnesium Flush": A common, harmless sensation of warmth that travels through the body (often felt in the chest or pelvic area).
• Metallic Taste: A brief vitamin-like taste in the mouth during the infusion.
• Mild Dizziness: Can occur if the Magnesium is dripped too quickly; easily fixed by slowing the drip.
• Site Redness: Minor bruising or irritation where the IV was placed.
