MYERS’ COCTAIL
Intravenous therapy was made by Dr. John Meyer, who believed in intravenous delivery of nutrients and minerals.
The most popular Myers Cocktail formulation retains many of the original ingredients. It contains B-Complex Vitamins, Vitamin B12, Vitamin C, and Magnesium, all of which contribute to the numerous benefits of a Myers Cocktail IV.
B-complex Vitamins
- B-1 (thiamine)
- B-2 (riboflavin)
- B-3 (niacin)
- B-5 (pantothenic acid)
- B-6 (pyridoxine)
- B-7 (biotin)
- B-9 (folic acid)
- B-12 (cobalamin)
Crucial building blocks of the body. These vitamins work at the cellular level to improve brain function, energy levels, and cell metabolism while preventing infections and cellular degradation.
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid)
Power antioxidants in the body, essential dietary components that help to neutralize free radicals that destroy cells. Vitamin C also plays a role in generating collagen and regulates the way the body absorbs iron. Both roles help to accelerate wound healing. Vitamin C is also important for the healthy function of the immune system by protecting body against infections and diseases.
Magnesium
Magnesium – an essential mineral that plays many crucial roles in the body, such as supporting muscle and nerve function and energy production. Our body is not able to produce Magnesium, so it is very important to obtain it through diet. Magnesium is needed for many critical functions such as blood sugar regulation, muscle contractions, nerve functions, blood pressure maintenance and DNA synthesis. Low magnesium levels usually don't cause symptoms. However, chronically low levels can increase the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and osteoporosis.
Calcium Gluconate
Increases calcium levels in your body. Calcium is a mineral that plays an important role in building strong bones and maintaining heart health. Calcium is a mineral element, and the most abundant mineral, found in the body. Along with potassium and magnesium, calcium is essential for muscle contraction and nerve conduction. It is a foundation for bone structure and occurs naturally in several forms and in many foods. Calcium gluconate is a version of calcium found in gluconic acid, a carboxylic acid found in plants—especially fruits—and honey.
Benefits of Meyers’ Cocktail
1. Stronger immunity
Immunity breaks down when multiple cellular functions fail or become compromised. All components in a Myers Cocktail enhance cellular function, making them more capable of fighting off infection. For example, B-complex vitamins B-5 and B-6 promote antibody formation and increase the antigenic response to infection.
2. Increased hydration
Myers Cocktail IV therapy has a saline and electrolyte solution base that immediately increases the body’s hydration levels. Unlike drinking water and other fluids, the isotonic Myers Cocktail solution delivers hydration straight to the body cells quickly and efficiently, providing fast recovery from dehydration.
3. Better nerve and bone health
Myers Cocktail improves overall nerve and bone health through the various actions of its components. For example, Vitamin B12 directly influences nerve repair and regeneration, helping reduce the effects of conditions like fibromyalgia and diabetic nerve damage. Taking Myers Cocktail often can also improve bone health in conditions like age-related osteoporosis.
4. Improved blood health and circulation
Blood health reduces fatigue, increases performance levels, and boosts general well-being. Vitamin B12 and B-complex vitamins promote blood health by stimulating red blood cell generation, iron absorption, cellular health, and increasing the turnover of worn-out red blood cells. Other components, like magnesium and Vitamin C, promote circulation health through improved cellular health.
5. Boosted energy levels
Myers Cocktail IV therapy rapidly boosts energy levels through the fast delivery of vitamins to cells. B-complex vitamins and magnesium are particularly potent in this regard because they contribute to cellular energy production. Boosted energy can be helpful in pre-game preparation and post-game recovery for individuals engaging in sports.
6. Enhanced mood and vitality
Vitamin B12 promotes the production of serotonin, a feel-good hormone that wards off feelings of depression and malaise when released. Increased levels of Vitamin C in the blood can also improve the mood and stimulate an increased sense of vitality and wellbeing, as noted here.
7. Sharper memory
Low levels of Vitamin B12 and Vitamin C can impair your ability to remember things. Other challenges that also emerge are low concentration levels, inability to retain information and low mental performance.
Myers Cocktail delivers high concentrations of both vitamins, jumpstarting the brain and increasing recall, memory capacity, and overall cognitive performance – even in individuals with age-related memory capacity reduction.
8. Better sleep
Melatonin is a hormone that promotes sleep, helping modulate the body’s circadian cycle. When an individual has low melatonin levels, their sleep cycle becomes interrupted, resulting in poor sleep. Myers Cocktail provides magnesium and B-complex vitamins, both actively involved in the production and release of melatonin, helping return the body to a healthy sleep-wake cycle.
9. Fewer and less severe migraines
Research indicates that magnesium can be effective in reducing the severity and incidence rates of migraines. Other components in Myers Cocktail, like Vitamin B-2 (part of B-complex vitamins), have also shown promise in helping reduce migraines. Regular Myers Cocktail IV infusions also deliver increased hydration, which can also reduce migraines.
10. Reduced jetlag
The disruption of the internal sleep-wake (circadian) cycle when you cross time zones causes jet lag. Myers Cocktail reduces jet lag by increasing melatonin production, improving overall body hydration, and helping restore a regular sleep-wake cycle.
11. Quicker recovery from hangovers
Multiple factors cause a hangover, including dehydration, inflammation, stomach irritation, and reduced blood sugar. Myers Cocktail IV therapy provides rapid hydration, a critical factor in accelerating hangover recovery. In addition, other components like magnesium and B-complex vitamins boost energy and enhance vitality, helping you frog-jump the worst of a hangover.
