Myers Cocktail IV Therapy

The Myers Cocktail was developed by Baltimore physician Dr. John Myers, who administered intravenous nutrient combinations to patients throughout the 1970s and 80s. His formulation — magnesium, calcium, B vitamins, and vitamin C in a saline base — became the template for modern IV therapy.

Today, the Myers Cocktail remains the most widely administered IV therapy formulation in the United States. It's used for general wellness maintenance, energy improvement, migraine management, fibromyalgia, and immune support. The magnesium component often causes a warm, flushed sensation as it enters your bloodstream — this is normal and passes within minutes.
