4 Questions to Ask about Myers Cocktail IV Therapy

With IV therapy on the rise, there are many different types of IVs available, one of which is the Myers cocktail IV. This therapy is done in the doctor’s office under the water of staff, with many patients reporting feeling better immediately after. The Myers cocktail is made up of specific vitamins, including vitamin C, vitamin B12, B-complex vitamins, calcium, magnesium, zinc, glutathione, and saline.

The reason that Myer cocktails are made of these vitamins is because it has been found that these vitamins are absorbed by the body much faster when given by IV than when a patient orally takes them.

There is no specific group that is going to benefit more than others when it comes to the Myers cocktail, and with the way it has been designed, it is safe for everyone. Because of the high levels of antioxidants, vitamins, and immune-boosting factors, it can be beneficial for anyone who is:

• Athletes
• Suffer from Chronic Fatigue
• Has anxiety or depression
• Those who have low energy levels

Even if you don’t fit into these categories, the Myers cocktail can be beneficial for you and it can be worth talking to our team at Golden State Medical Center to find out if the Myers cocktail will be helpful for you. It has been shown to improve sleep in patients, improve memory, reduce migraines, help with hangovers, and also, because of its increasing melatonin it can be helpful for those with jet lag to return to a normal sleep cycle. With the uniqueness of our biology, the benefits can be more or less for each patient, with the ability for the doctors to add additional vitamins that can be beneficial for you.

Since the Myers cocktail is given intravenously, it is much more effective than taking vitamins for patients, as the method it is given makes the nutritional benefits easier and more quickly accessible by the body. This means that you can begin to feel better even during the treatment, which for many is beneficial as the improvements from the high doses of vitamins mean improvements in their daily quality of life. Since there haven’t been many studies on the Myers cocktail’s effectiveness, there is limited clinical information about how it affects patients. One study showed that in some patients with fibromyalgia, they had immediate improvement in their pain, though it did not completely disappear it made the condition a lot more manageable for them, with energy levels increasing in the days following for all patients.

Determining if the Myers cocktail is right for you can be something you discuss with our doctors before you begin your IV therapy, as they may recommend the use of additional vitamins for your unique situation.

This can depend on your unique biology, as some people can report experiencing benefits for three days to over a week, while some patients find that the benefits last for a month. This is all variable by age, exercise levels, and overall lifestyle since the vitamins can remain in the body for a month, even after the fluids they were given have been excreted. Another variable is if you are deficient in any vitamins, your effects may be shorter so you may have to have another round of IV therapy within a few weeks of your first treatment to be able to reap all the benefits of the Myers cocktail.

Normally, patients can have the Myers cocktail IV therapy done once a month to maintain a healthy overall balance of vitamins, and your doctor may recommend, if you have a very active lifestyle a shorter time between your IV therapy treatments. If you are using IV therapy to try to resolve or help aid in the treatment of a health condition, you may also have the Myers Cocktail IV given to you more frequently.
