The Myers Cocktail is a powerhouse blend of vitamins and minerals delivered directly into your bloodstream via IV infusion. Originally developed by Dr. John Myers in the 1970s, it remains one of the most requested IV therapy treatments at clinics across the country.
What's in a Myers Cocktail?
A standard Myers Cocktail contains: magnesium chloride, B-complex vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6), vitamin B12, calcium gluconate, and vitamin C. The exact formulation varies slightly by clinic, and many offer "upgraded" versions with additional add-ons like glutathione, zinc, or amino acids.
What does it treat?
Myers Cocktail IV therapy is commonly used for: chronic fatigue and low energy, migraines and tension headaches, fibromyalgia, seasonal allergies, upper respiratory infections, athletic performance and recovery, hangover relief, and general immune support. Many patients report feeling a noticeable energy boost within hours of their infusion.
How much does a Myers Cocktail cost?
Prices range from $100 to $250 at most clinics, depending on your location and the clinic's formula. Mobile IV services that come to you may charge $150–$350. Some clinics offer membership packages that reduce the per-session cost significantly.
What to expect during a session
A Myers Cocktail infusion takes 30–45 minutes. You'll sit in a comfortable reclining chair while a licensed nurse inserts a small IV catheter, usually in your arm. Most patients feel warmth or a slight flush as the magnesium enters your system — this is normal. Many people bring a book, work on their laptop, or simply relax. Side effects are rare when administered by a trained professional.
Is it right for you?
Myers Cocktail is generally safe for healthy adults. Most clinics will do a brief health intake before your session. If you have kidney disease, heart conditions, or are pregnant, consult your doctor first. Always choose a clinic staffed by licensed medical professionals.
