What’s it Like to Receive a Myer’s Cocktail

November 21, 2023 by Dr. Daniel Hoover

For years now, the Myer’s cocktail has been used to help athletes and everyday people return their bodies to balance with essential vitamins and minerals through an IV drip. The same kind of IV is used in hospitals to deliver patients medicine and fluids. However, when used therapeutically, it provides vitamins and minerals through the fluid instead. The perfectly crafted blend of nutrients in the Myer’s cocktail IV therapy includes Vitamin C, B Complex, Magnesium, and Calcium.

Many times in our busy lives, we are unable to maintain a healthy balance of nutrients in our bodies. Especially as we get older and our bodies begin to absorb nutrients differently. This is why supplements are often recommended. The nutrients in Myer’s cocktail have been shown to have several benefits, including: 

  • Increased Immune System Function
  • Reduce the Duration and Intensity of Migraines
  • Aids in Detoxification
  • Aids in Hangover Recovery

Myer’s cocktail has also been used to help alleviate symptoms caused by:

  • Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
  • Adrenal Fatigue
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Depression 
  • Respiratory Problems
  • Acute/Chronic Infections

While the benefits of Myer’s cocktail IV therapy may be noted, some may be curious about what it feels like to receive the Myer’s cocktail IV therapy. Today, we will explore how receiving a Myer’s cocktail IV therapy feels.

First Impressions

Like any use of IV drip, there are needles involved. Naturally, you will first feel a pinch as the IV drip is set up. Once the IV is set up and the Myer’s cocktail begins to flow into your bloodstream, many patients report a couple of feelings—first, some report of feeling a cooling sensation due to the nutrient-rich solution entering the bloodstream. The fluid is often cooler than room temperature. Afterward, some people mention a tingling or warm sensation. Some vitamins, such as B-complex, can result in these sensations in some people, though this is generally considered harmless.

Boost in Energy

Once the body has had time to absorb the nutrients, many people report feeling a boost in energy levels. This can be due to your body’s previous lack of an essential nutrient that Myer’s cocktail replenishes. Your body doesn’t need to break down a multivitamin or other supplement before absorbing it with Myer’s cocktail. Because the nutrients are delivered directly to the bloodstream, your body will receive a more concentrated dose of these essential nutrients. It’s been reported that this boost in energy can last for days or weeks, depending on your physical composition.

Relaxing

As the IV therapy progresses, some individuals mention feeling relaxed. Both physical and mental. This may be attributed to the calming effects of the nutrients or hydration the body is receiving. It’s been known that magnesium and B-Complex may help increase your body’s resistance to stress. As a result, many people use the session as an opportunity to rest, and sometimes patients may even take a nap.

Steadily Improved Progression

Throughout the session, individuals might notice a gradual improvement in how they feel. This includes increased alertness and a sense of rejuvenation. At this point in the session, you may begin to notice how the Myer’s cocktail IV therapy has helped you with your particular condition. You should also be feeling the overall benefits of the Myer’s cocktail IV therapy. While for many, IV therapy is a “one and done,” others opt for regular IV therapy sessions as the prolonged benefits of Myers cocktail IV therapy can help you in your daily life.
