IV Vitamin Therapy
Myers Cocktail
The original wellness IV — magnesium, calcium, B and C.
Overview
Why Clients Choose It
A classic blend developed by Dr. John Myers, combining magnesium, calcium, B-complex, B12 and vitamin C. Balanced foundational support for energy, immunity and stress resilience.
- Sustained energy and reduced fatigue
- Immune and stress support
- Improved hydration and cellular nutrition
- Gentle enough for regular cadence
Delivered over 30–45 minutes. Effective monthly, or more frequently during high-demand seasons.
The Mechanism
How Myers Cocktail Works
- Formulated by Dr. John Myers in the 1960s and refined by Dr. Alan Gaby in the 1990s, the Myers Cocktail combines the micronutrients most commonly deficient in adults with chronic fatigue, migraine or fibromyalgia symptoms.
- Magnesium participates in over 300 enzymatic reactions — ATP synthesis, neurotransmitter regulation, muscle relaxation — and functional deficiency is common even with normal serum levels. IV magnesium restores intracellular stores that oral supplementation struggles to reach.
- Combined with B-complex, B12 and vitamin C, the formulation replenishes cofactors for energy metabolism, methylation and antioxidant defense in a single 30-minute session.
Inside the Bag
What Is In The Formulation
- Magnesium sulfate — ATP cofactor, muscle relaxation, migraine relief
- Calcium gluconate — Neuromuscular signaling
- B-complex — Energy metabolism, methylation, mood
- Vitamin B12 (hydroxocobalamin) — Neurologic support, red blood cell formation
- Vitamin C — Antioxidant and immune support
Evidence
What The Research Shows
Ali et al., J Altern Complement Med (2009) — a small RCT — reported symptom improvements in fibromyalgia patients receiving the Myers formulation.
Magnesium's role in migraine prevention is supported across multiple trials (Chiu et al., Pain Physician 2016).

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Myers really the 'original' IV?
Yes. Dr. John Myers pioneered it in the 1960s, and it remains the most-studied and most-prescribed wellness infusion in integrative medicine.
How is it different from the Recovery IV?
The Myers is a balanced maintenance formulation. Recovery adds higher-volume fluids and optional Rx add-ons for acute symptom relief.
Will I feel the magnesium?
A warm, relaxed sensation is common as the magnesium infuses. We adjust the rate so it stays comfortable.
