What’s in a Myers Cocktail IV (and Why It Works)
Originally developed by Dr. John Myers in the 1970s, the Myers Cocktail is a timeless IV formula because it addresses nutrient deficiencies and supports vital systems at a cellular level.
Core Ingredients Typically Include:
- Vitamin C – Antioxidant and immune booster
- B Complex (including B12 and B6) – Energy production, metabolism, nerve health
- Magnesium – Muscle relaxation, stress reduction, energy balance
- Calcium – Cellular signaling, bone and muscle function
- Sodium/Saline Base – Hydration and delivery support
Unlike oral supplements, IV nutrients bypass the digestive tract, offering 100% bioavailability — meaning your body gets what it needs, fast.
Who Benefits from the Myers Cocktail IV?
Common Use Cases Include:
- Chronic fatigue or low energy – especially when tied to stress or nutrient depletion
- Frequent colds or infections – immune-boosting effects make it popular during flu season or travel prep
- Post-workout or hangover recovery – fast hydration and cell support aid faster bounce-backs
- Migraines, fibromyalgia, and inflammation-based conditions – magnesium and B vitamins offer natural relief
- General wellness and prevention – for anyone who wants to stay sharp, energized, and resilient
At places like Cefalù Beauté, the Myers Cocktail IV can be customized with add-ons (like glutathione or zinc) depending on your goals.

FAQs
1. Is the Myers Cocktail safe?
Yes — when administered by a licensed provider, it’s very safe. Each ingredient is dosed precisely and reviewed during your intake session. Most side effects are rare and mild (e.g. a slight metallic taste or warmth).
2. How often should I get it?
Frequency depends on your needs. Some clients come in weekly during busy seasons, while others opt for a monthly “maintenance” drip. Your provider will help you design the right schedule.
3. Can it replace oral supplements?
It’s not a replacement for healthy eating or a multivitamin routine, but it’s an effective booster. IV therapy delivers what your gut sometimes can’t absorb — especially if you have digestive issues or high stress levels.
4. Who shouldn’t get a Myers Cocktail?
People with certain kidney conditions or allergies to specific vitamins (like B12) may not be candidates. A proper consultation is always required. Pregnant or breastfeeding clients should consult their physician first.
5. Does it really help with immunity?
Absolutely. High-dose Vitamin C, zinc (if added), and B vitamins support immune cells directly. Many clients schedule a drip before or after travel, during flu season, or when recovering from illness.
