Vitamin-Mineral Infusions
Doctors have long employed intravenously delivered high-dose vitamin and mineral combinations. “Myers” is a cocktail of vitamin B, vitamin C, minerals, and glutathione that helps to address a variety of conditions, symptoms, and concerns. Each Myers is prepared fresh, in-house, and carefully designed for each patient’s health program and condition.
Benefits of Myers Cocktail
A Myers cocktail can be beneficial in a variety of conditions. The most common and immediate effect on most patients is a higher level of energy. Vitamin C and glutathione help to provide antioxidant support to all tissues and organs. Neurological conditions benefit from the antioxidants added to the Myers cocktail. The magnesium in this cocktail is beneficial in managing pain because it helps to relax muscles.
Because of all of the ingredients that go into the Myers cocktail, this IV provides cofactors and support for various biochemical reactions in the body. Our physician applies Myers IV therapy to help with:
- Fibromyalgia
- Fatigue
- Nausea and gastrointestinal discomfort
- Hair and nail health
- Asthma
- Red blood cell production
- Prevention of infection through immune-boosting vitamins and minerals.
- Replenishing nutrients post Chelation Therapy
- Maintenance of overall health
Amino acids (the building blocks of protein) can be added to this cocktail to help increase energy and overall well-being. Amino acids are useful in patients with immune suppression, as it allows increased amino acid exposure so that the body can make its own immune constituents to mount an immune response. In addition to the immune system and nutrition, amino acids also play an integral role in neurotransmitter synthesis. A deficiency in amino acids and improper nutrition can lead to imbalances in neurotransmitter release resulting in anxiety, depression, and sleep disorders.
Typical Additives for a Myers Cocktail
Vitamin C – Antioxidant beneficial for the immune system

B-Complex (Mixture of B Vitamins) – Overall well-being and energy
Methylcobalamin (Vitamin B12) – Metabolically active form of B12, which is useful in neurological conditions. It helps to keep the integrity of myelin sheath on nerves by converting homocysteine to methionine.
