What is a Myers’ Cocktail?

There are, in fact, lots of factors that can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals, such as dietary habits and supplementation, lifestyle choices, age, body composition, and medical condition. Considering all these, you might absorb anywhere from 10% to 90% of a given nutrient from a given food. This is where vitamin IV therapy comes in.
Myers’ Cocktail: Intravenous Vitamin + Mineral Cocktail
There is no more efficient way to deliver nutrients to the body than with direct intravenous infusion. IV nutrient therapy or IV vitamins is used interchangeably with the name Myers’ cocktail. The Myers' cocktail is a popular formula used by complementary and alternative medicine providers for over half a century. A client recently told me the Kardashians talk about that one all the time, so it is well known!
In the 1970s, Dr. John Myers developed and administered the first IV vitamin treatments in Baltimore using a 10-ml syringe to perform a slow vitamin push with essential nutrients into the vein to treat specific health conditions. But this cocktail can also work wonders for healthy individuals that want an additional boost in mood or energy, and for professionals under high levels of acute and chronic stress.
In this day and age, the Myer’s cocktail is now administered in an IV bag which is a more efficient way to bring nutrients to the body as it allows vitamins to bypass the digestive system and enter directly into the bloodstream and organs, ensuring full absorption at the cellular level.
Myers’ cocktail can be beneficial for many health related problems, such as:
Asthma
Cardiovascular disease
Chronic urticaria
Fatigue
Fibromyalgia
Mental issues
Seasonal allergies
And more.
