  Myers’ Cocktail

  Myers’ Cocktail

  A Myers’ cocktail is an increasingly popular intravenous therapy. The late John Myers, MD, was the first to introduce this vitamin and mineral treatment. He designed this formula to potentially treat several clinical conditions including fatigue, fibromyalgia, muscle spasms, and many more.

  Although the original Myers’ cocktail may work for many ailments, healthcare providers often tailor similar treatments for their patients to meet their specific needs.

  • Calcium: Calcium aids bone formation and strength. It also can help control irregular heartbeats.
  • Magnesium: Generally stored in bones, muscles, and soft tissues. It has been found to reduce fatigue, migraines, and muscle spasms and may even help those at risk of cardiovascular diseases.^[1] 
  • Zinc: Zinc has been proven to help regulate the immune system. Zinc is not naturally created in the body. Deficiency of zinc can lead to subsequent health issues.
  • Glutathione: Glutathione is a potent antioxidant that naturally occurs in the body. Glutathione aids the immune system and has been found to help in the prevention of cancer, cystic fibrosis, HIV, and the normal aging process.
  • Saline Solution: All ingredients for the Myers’ cocktail are combined in an IV bag usually consisting of normal saline.

  Other ingredients may also be included, depending on the type of infusion a patient is receiving. Although this cocktail is made with generally safe components, medical providers should consider underlying conditions when treating patients. Healthcare providers often increase, decrease, add, or exclude certain vitamins and minerals to create a focused treatment for their patient’s specific goals.

  A revised formulation of the Myers’ cocktail may include:^[2]

  • 1 mL B-Complex 
  • 5 mL Vitamin C (500 mg/mL)
  • 5 mL Magnesium Chloride (30%)
  • 3 mL Calcium Gluconate (10%)
  • 1 mL Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (100 mg/mL)
  • 1 mL Dexpanthenol (250 mg/mL)
  • 0.5 mL Hydroxocobalamin (2,000 mcg/mL)

  A common booster used to accompany IV infusions is a potent antioxidant, glutathione. Glutathione may aid in disease prevention, immune function and energy levels.

  Who Needs a Myers’ Cocktail?

  When asked who should consider a Myers’ cocktail infusion, there is no single answer. Because of the high dose of antioxidants, nutrients, and other immune-boosting factors, individuals who have weakened immune systems or diseases that negatively impact immune resilience may benefit from receiving a Myers’ cocktail IV treatment.

  • Suffer from low energy
  • Perform athletic exercises
  • Suffer from chronic fatigue
  • Require intravenous hydration
  • Seek relief from hangover or withdrawal symptoms^[3]

Since treatment is administered intravenously vs. passing the digestive system, higher concentrations of the vitamins are more easily absorbed and thus bioavailable to the body.

  For example, magnesium has been found to prevent or reduce asthma attacks, chronic fatigue, cardiovascular diseases, fibromyalgia, chronic sinusitis, rhinitis, upper respiratory tract infections, migraines, and more.

  Indications have been found that vitamin B6 (up to 50 mg per day) and B12 may relieve muscle weakness associated with hyperthyroidism. Those who suffer from acute muscle spasms, poor sleep at night, or high levels of stress, may have a magnesium deficiency and may benefit from receiving intravenous treatment to bring their magnesium levels to an optimum state.
