The Myers’ Cocktail is one of the most popular IV drips available, and for good reason. Essentially, it is an all-purpose blend of fluids, vitamins, and minerals that people use for energy, immune support, recovery, and general wellness. So, if you have heard the name but are not sure what it actually does, this guide covers the main Myers’ Cocktail benefits, what is in the drip, who it is best for, and what to expect from a session.
The Myers’ Cocktail is named after Dr. John Myers, a Baltimore physician who used IV vitamin and mineral infusions with his patients for conditions like fatigue and migraines. At first, the original formula centered on magnesium, B vitamins, and vitamin C, and it has since become the starting point for many of today’s wellness drips.
Today, however, modern versions vary by provider. For example, Flare MD’s Myers’ Cocktail IV builds on the classic formula with added antioxidants and minerals, and it is delivered by a licensed nurse in about 30 to 45 minutes. You can see the full treatment details here.
Specifically, Flare MD’s Myers’ Cocktail includes seven ingredients:
To start, sterile fluids and electrolytes rehydrate you quickly, which supports energy, focus, and recovery.
B vitamins help your body turn food into energy and support healthy nerves and red blood cells. In fact, they are a big part of why many people book a Myers’ Cocktail when they feel drained. See our Vitamin B Complex and Vitamin B12 pages.
Vitamin C is an antioxidant that plays a key role in how immune cells work. However, your body cannot make or store much of it, so it depends on regular intake. Learn more on our Vitamin C page.
Meanwhile, magnesium supports muscle and nerve function, energy production, and relaxation. Notably, it was one of the core ingredients in Dr. Myers’ original formula. Read more on our Magnesium page.
Likewise, zinc helps your immune system develop and activate the cells that fight off germs. See our Zinc page for details.
Glutathione is an antioxidant your body makes naturally. In particular, it helps protect cells from oxidative stress. Learn more on our Glutathione page.
Of course, everyone responds a little differently, but these are the benefits people most often look for when they book a Myers’ Cocktail:
B vitamins, B12, magnesium, and fluids all play a role in how your body makes and uses energy. As a result, many people book a Myers’ Cocktail when they feel worn out from a long week.
Similarly, vitamin C and zinc support normal immune function, which also makes the Myers’ Cocktail a popular choice during cold and flu season or before travel.
For instance, whether you are recovering from a hard workout, a long flight, or a late night, rehydrating and replacing nutrients can certainly help you bounce back.
First of all, every Myers’ Cocktail starts with IV fluids and electrolytes, so it rehydrates you at the same time it delivers vitamins.
Since it covers so many bases at once, many clients therefore use the Myers’ Cocktail as a regular wellness drip rather than waiting until they feel sick.
In general, the Myers’ Cocktail is a good all-around option for:
On the other hand, if you want a stronger version, the Myers Plus includes higher doses of B vitamins, vitamin C, glutathione, magnesium, and zinc. Likewise, a lighter Myers Lite is available. See current pricing for all three on our IV therapy menu.
The Myers’ Cocktail is generally well tolerated when it is given by licensed clinicians. That said, some people notice a warm or flushed feeling or a brief taste change during the infusion, which usually passes quickly. In addition, every Flare MD visit starts with a health screening, and your nurse monitors you the entire time. Also, let us know if you have kidney or heart conditions, are pregnant, or take regular medications.
You can get a Myers’ Cocktail at one of our clinics, or have a licensed nurse come to your home, office, or hotel. To book a mobile visit, simply call or text (817) 330-9385. Not sure which option fits you best? Read our guide to mobile IV vs in-clinic IV therapy.
The main Myers’ Cocktail benefits are energy, immune support, recovery, and hydration in a single 30 to 45 minute session. In short, it is a flexible, all-purpose drip that works well whether you are fighting off fatigue, getting ready to travel, or just want to feel your best. When you are ready, book your appointment with Flare MD.
People most often book a Myers' Cocktail for more energy, immune support, faster recovery, and hydration. Of course, results vary from person to person.
Some people get one weekly, while others book every few weeks or only when they feel run down. Either way, your nurse can recommend a schedule based on your health and goals.
It can help with the dehydration and fatigue that come with a hangover. However, if nausea or headache is your main symptom, our hangover IVs include medications that target those symptoms directly.
Most drips focus on one goal, such as hydration, migraine relief, or immune support. In contrast, the Myers' Cocktail is an all-purpose blend that covers energy, immunity, and recovery at once.
The Myers Plus has the same ingredients in higher doses, including more vitamin C, glutathione, B vitamins, magnesium, and zinc. As a result, it is a good fit if you want a stronger boost.
Yes. For example, a licensed Flare MD nurse can come to your home, office, or hotel, or you can visit one of our clinics.
