Myer’s Cocktail Benefits for Athletes

October 24, 2023 by Dr. Daniel Hoover

Myer’s Cocktail is a form of intravenous (IV) therapy, the same kind of IV you would see in a medical setting. However, instead of administering fluid and medications, Myer’s cocktail IV therapy delivers fluids and nutrients the body needs to allow proper functions. These nutrients include:

  • Vitamin C 
  • Vitamin B Complex
  • Magnesium
  • Calcium 

At SOHAM Integrative Medicine in Long Beach, CA, we’ve used this perfectly crafted blend of nutrients in Myer’s cocktail IV therapy to help many people deal with various ailments and conditions. These conditions may include:

  • Improved Immune system
  • Reducing Fatigue
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Migraines
  • Respiratory Issues

Myer’s cocktail has also shown positive results in helping people detoxify from hangovers and improve their mental health. Many athletes saw Myer’s cocktail IV therapy as an opportunity to quickly rehydrate and replenish their nutrients. In doing so, it was discovered that athletes derive additional benefits from IV therapy.

In today’s article, we’ll explore how Myer’s cocktail is beneficial to athletes.

Boosts Energy and Rehydrates

Providing nutrients and fluids directly to your bloodstream via an IV bypasses the digestive system, allowing the body to absorb Myer’s cocktail blend more rapidly and efficiently. This means you may notice a significant improvement in energy levels while still attached to the IV. This is because unlike drinking water and taking oral vitamin supplements, your body needs to break down and absorb everything through the digestive system first. Sometimes, your body may not absorb the nutrients efficiently enough to make a significant difference. Through an IV, you can be confident that the body is receiving the proper nutrients to replenish your body. Although many athletes may have initially used Myer’s cocktail to rehydrate quickly, they discovered they would feel more energetic afterward.

Complementary Therapies

Myer’s cocktail lends itself to many complementary therapies. On its own, Myer’s cocktail has significant benefits for athletes. However, when combined with complementary therapies, you can unlock additional benefits in some cases simultaneously.

Ozone therapy is occasionally combined with the Myers cocktail. This is because both are IV therapies and share similar benefits. While Myer’s cocktail provides fluids and nutrients, Ozone therapy can aid in removing toxins from the body due to its disinfectant properties. 

When combined with massage therapy, athletes can gain additional benefits from Myer’s cocktail IV therapy.  As previously stated, your body can absorb nutrients better through IV therapy. Deep tissue massage therapy can not only reduce stress anxiety and loosen up tight muscles, but it can also increase blood circulation. This can promote overall wellness and further improve nutrient absorption.

Improved Recovery

Muscles contract and relax as you exercise, though, during heavier loads, the contractions can result in minor tears and damage. On its own, this needs to be more significant to worry about. An increased burden on the muscles can result in pain and soreness. While the body can heal and recover from this damage on its own, Myer’s cocktail infusion can provide the necessary nutrients to improve the speed at which your body recovers from a heavy workout. For example, vitamin B-12 plays a key role in producing red blood cells that deliver oxygen throughout the body. Oxygen is a vital component in allowing your muscles to recover efficiently.
