HE Clinic for Men IV Therapy

Myers' Cocktail IV (Single Session)

Type

IV Vitamin Therapy

Duration

45 min

Single session of Myers' Cocktail - vitamin and mineral IV infusion for energy and immune support.

The Myers’ Cocktail is one of the most well-known and widely administered IV nutrient formulas, originally developed by Dr. John Myers in the 1960s. The classic formula includes magnesium, calcium, B-complex vitamins (including B5, B6, and B12), and vitamin C, delivered intravenously to achieve blood levels unattainable through oral supplementation alone. It has been used clinically for decades to address fatigue, migraines, upper respiratory infections, and general malaise. Modern variations often enhance the original formula with additional nutrients like zinc, selenium, or glutathione based on individual needs. The infusion typically takes 30–45 minutes and is well-tolerated by most patients. Some people experience a pleasant warming sensation from the magnesium, and mild flushing is normal. Many clinics offer the Myers’ Cocktail as their foundational IV drip, making it an excellent starting point for anyone new to IV therapy.

Preparation Required

Eat a light meal 1–2 hours before your appointment to prevent lightheadedness. Drink plenty of water beforehand — well-hydrated veins make cannulation easier and more comfortable. Wear a short-sleeved or loose-fitting top so the nurse can access your arm easily. Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before your session. Let your provider know about any allergies, medications, or supplements you take.
