The health and wellness circles can’t get enough of the Myers’ Cocktail. This IV therapy has existed for decades, but only recently have more people started to notice just how effective it is at combatting lethargy and boosting immunity.
Almost all medical or IV hydration spas in the U.S. offer clients this quick vitamin-fuelled therapy (including us at Pro Health). But what exactly does it contain? And why is it so loved? Here’s a closer look at the extremely popular Myers’ Cocktail.
What is the Myers’ Cocktail?
The Myers’ Cocktail was developed in the 1960s by Dr. John Myers, a Baltimore-based physician. Back then, it was created as a treatment for chronic conditions like migraines, asthma, or muscle spasms.
Today, it continues to serve many of the same purposes. But the combination of vitamins and minerals has also proven to be an effective solution for busy professionals, athletes, celebrities, or anyone who needs a quick energy boost. The entire session takes only about 20-60 minutes, and — as you’ll soon see — leaves you with lasting benefits.
What Goes Into the Myers’ Cocktail?
Many medical professionals can modify a Myers’ Cocktail according to the condition they’re attempting to treat, but in most cases the ingredients include:
- Vitamins C, B-complex, and B12
- Calcium
- Magnesium
- Zinc
- Glutathione
- Saline Solution
Each mineral and vitamin serves different purposes, but come together to refresh and energize the body. The vitamins boost immune function, aid in the absorption of nutrients, boost collagen production, and balance energy metabolism.
Calcium and magnesium strengthen bones and support nerve function, while zinc regulates the immune system. Glutathione, meanwhile, is a potent antioxidant that reduces the risk of many chronic illnesses, and certain cancers.
Finally, saline solutions are used across hospitals to treat severe dehydration.
During an evaluation, a medical expert will analyze your medical history to confirm that none of the substances will react adversely, or look out for any deficiencies that need fixing. The cocktail is customized accordingly, making it a low-risk and high benefit.
What Benefits Do You Gain?
In patients with natural deficiencies, the benefits of IV therapy are apparent. Individuals who suffer from malabsorption, or illnesses that prevent nutrient intake are often recommended the treatment. But even in otherwise healthy individuals, the Myers’ Cocktail has shown to have the following benefits:
Enhanced Energy Levels
Possibly the most cited benefit is the boost of energy that comes after the procedure. Many say they feel more focused, less stressed, and relieved of anxiety. Professional athletes also benefit from the energy metabolism boost that comes from the vitamins.
Boosted Immune Function
Zinc, Vitamin C, and Glutathione are all known to have antioxidant properties, which enhance the immune system. Zinc also contributes to immune cell development.
Deep Hydration
Since the Myers’ Cocktail is delivered intravenously, the fluids are delivered directly into the bloodstream. This rehydrates the body much faster than oral fluids, which explains why it’s so effective at treating hangovers and dehydration-related disorders.
Headache and Muscle Pain Relief
The calcium and magnesium in the Myers’ Cocktail can reduce the frequency of headaches, as well as contribute to faster muscle recovery. Vitamin B12 also has properties that improve nerve function, reducing the frequency of migraines.
Because of all these benefits, the treatment is recommended to anyone with low energy levels, chronic fatigue, dehydration, depression, or anxiety. It is also often used to combat hangover and withdrawal symptoms.
