The Myers’ Cocktail is an intravenous (IV) infusion of vitamins and nutrients designed to reduce the symptoms of a host of medical ailments. It was created by Dr. John Myers who used it to treat symptoms of chronic conditions such as asthma, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue and migraines.
The Myers’ Cocktail works by increasing the blood concentration of several essential vitamins and minerals beyond that which can be achieved when supplementing orally. For example, Vitamin C given intravenously has been found to reach blood concentrations more than 50 times greater than what can be achieved when given orally.

Benefits
1. A Stronger Immunity to Beat Colds and Flus – Due to the high dosage of Vitamin C one of the primary benefits of a Myers’ IV is to strengthen your immunity and ward off frequent colds and flu.
2. Better Nerve Health to Fight Fibromyalgia – Vitamin B12 plays a key role in nerve health, and a deficiency in the body is associated with nerve damage that could lead to fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia is a condition that affects how nerves send impulses to muscles, and therefore a good dosage of Vitamin B12 can help boost nerve health and possibly reduce fibromyalgia symptoms.
3. Improved Memory – Deficiencies in Vitamin B12 and Vitamin C are associated with poor memory performance and your ability to recall information. As the brain ages, it starts to lose neurons that store memories, which ultimately leads to memory loss. Although this process cannot be halted, it can be slowed down through regular treatments of Vitamin B12 and High Dose Vitamin C.
4. Supports Bone Health – Calcium Gluconate is used to prevent or treat low blood calcium levels and it can be used to treat conditions caused by low calcium levels. Calcium plays a very important role in the body. It is necessary for normal functioning of nerves, cells, muscle, and bone. If there is not enough calcium in the blood, then the body will take calcium from bones, thereby weakening bones. Having the right amount of calcium is important for building and keeping strong bones.
5. Boosted Energy Levels – B complex vitamins play an essential role in your body’s energy production. Vitamin B12 in particular has energy-boosting traits that when taken, can immediately help you feel more energized.
6. Help Prevent & Treat Migraines – Studies have found that people who suffer from migraines are more likely than others to be magnesium deficient. There is also evidence to suggest that it can also provide relief from an acute migraine attack more quickly and effectively than a common medication.
7. Improves Blood Health & Circulatory System – Healthy blood is rich in iron and is made up of healthy and numerous red blood cells. Vitamin B12 plays a central role in the production of red blood cells, while Vitamin C aids red blood cells to absorb iron and can help significantly reduce bad cholesterol. Low Vitamin C levels can hamper iron absorption, leading to anemia.
8. Improved Mood and Vitality – Serotonin plays an important role in mood regulation, and Vitamin B12 plays an important role in the synthesis of serotonin. Healthy levels of serotonin can help your mood be properly regulated. A well-regulated mood can ward off depression, anxiety, and other mood-related conditions.
