What Is the Myers’ Cocktail? Benefits of This IV Drip
A Foundational IV Therapy Blend with Decades of Clinical Use
First developed in the 1960s by physician Dr. John Myers, the Myers’ Cocktail remains one of the most widely used and respected IV formulas in integrative and functional medicine. Originally designed to treat chronic conditions and nutrient deficiencies, this vitamin-rich infusion is now widely embraced as a wellness tool for supporting energy, immunity, and stress recovery.
In cities like Scottsdale, Mesa, and Phoenix, the Myers’ Cocktail has found new relevance through mobile IV therapy, allowing individuals to receive care in the comfort of their home. At Premium IV Therapy, it’s offered as part of a personalized, nurse-led experience tailored to each client’s needs.
Understanding the Formula: What’s in a Myers’ Cocktail?
The Myers’ Cocktail is built around a precise combination of essential nutrients that support multiple body systems, particularly the immune, neurological, and muscular systems.
Core ingredients in the Myers’ formula typically include:
- B Complex (B1–B6): Supports energy metabolism and nervous system regulation
- B12 (Methylcobalamin): Critical for brain health and red blood cell production
- Vitamin C: A powerful antioxidant that supports immune function and inflammation modulation
- Magnesium: Helps with muscle relaxation, nerve balance, and mood regulation
- Zinc: Essential for immune support, skin health, and tissue repair
This combination makes the Myers’ Cocktail one of the most effective immune-boosting IV therapy options available today.
Why IV Delivery Instead of Oral Supplements?
While oral vitamins can be beneficial, they are often limited by digestive efficiency. Gut issues, inflammation, and stress can all impair nutrient absorption. IV therapy bypasses digestion, delivering nutrients directly into the bloodstream for fast and reliable absorption.
Benefits of IV delivery include:
- Immediate availability of nutrients
- Consistent therapeutic dosing
- No dependence on gastrointestinal function
- Quicker results—especially during times of illness or fatigue
“It’s not just about replacing nutrients—it’s about how well your body can actually use them.”
Clinical Applications: Who Might Benefit from a Myers’ Cocktail?
The Myers’ Cocktail is considered one of the most versatile and well-tolerated drips in IV therapy. While not a cure, it can be helpful for individuals looking to support wellness or manage recurring symptoms.
Common use cases include:
- Chronic fatigue
- Migraines or tension headaches
- Fibromyalgia and chronic pain
- Frequent colds or post-viral recovery
- Low mood, anxiety, or burnout
- Poor absorption due to GI conditions or medications
- Travel-related stress or dehydration
“Many clients view the Myers’ Cocktail as a seasonal reset—especially during times of high stress or low energy.”

How It Feels: What to Expect During and After Treatment
Most people tolerate the Myers’ Cocktail well and begin to notice effects—like improved energy, sharper focus, or less tension—within hours to a day. The session itself typically lasts 45 to 60 minutes.
Because the infusion bypasses digestion, it delivers nutrients in a way that many find gentler on the stomach, with fewer side effects compared to high-dose oral supplementation.
It’s commonly used as an energy IV drip, especially by those recovering from a demanding week or managing ongoing stress.
Some clients add optional nutrients such as glutathione or high-dose vitamin C for additional immune support.
