Feeling chronically tired, run down, or like you’re catching every cold that goes around? At Flow Wellness, we see energy and immunity as connected—not separate problems to fix one at a time. That’s where the Myers Cocktail comes in: a well-established IV nutrient blend designed to support both at once.
The Background of the Myers Cocktail
The Myers Cocktail is named after Dr. John Myers, a Baltimore physician who began administering IV vitamin and mineral blends in the 1960s and 70s to support patients dealing with fatigue and a range of chronic complaints. Over the decades, his formula became one of the most widely recognized IV nutrient therapies in integrative and functional medicine—still used today, largely unchanged in concept, because the core idea holds up: deliver key nutrients directly into the bloodstream rather than relying on digestion.
What Is a Myers Cocktail IV Drip?
The Flow Wellness Myers Cocktail combines magnesium, vitamin B12, a B-complex blend, and vitamin C delivered directly into the bloodstream. Because IV delivery bypasses the digestive system, your body has access to these nutrients immediately, rather than waiting on the more variable absorption of oral supplements.
- Magnesium supports muscle relaxation, nervous system balance, and healthy vascular tone.
- Vitamin B12 supports red blood cell production and plays a central role in energy metabolism.
- B-complex vitamins are essential cofactors in how your cells convert food into usable energy.
- Vitamin C supports immune function and acts as an antioxidant.
Who Might Benefit from a Myers Cocktail?
A Myers Cocktail may be worth considering if you:
- Feel chronically fatigued or run down
- Are prone to frequent colds or seasonal illness
- Experience tension-related headaches or migraines
- Are recovering from travel, illness, or intense physical activity
- Want proactive, preventive support for energy and immunity
- Are managing high stress or a demanding schedule
It’s also commonly used alongside GLP-1 medical weight loss, hormone optimization, or athletic training blocks as supportive care.
What to Expect During Your Visit
Most Myers Cocktail appointments take 45–60 minutes, including a brief clinical review before treatment begins. A few things to know:
- Hydrate beforehand — it makes veins easier to access.
- Eat a light meal — helps keep blood sugar stable during the infusion.
- Wear a short-sleeved shirt — for quick, comfortable IV access.
During the infusion, some patients notice a warm sensation or a mild metallic taste—this is a normal response to magnesium and B vitamins entering the bloodstream, not a cause for concern. Your clinical team monitors the drip throughout to keep the experience comfortable.
How Often Should You Get a Myers Cocktail?
There’s no universal schedule—frequency depends on why you’re using it.
Occasional support: Before travel, a demanding week, or when you feel a cold coming on, a single Myers Cocktail is often enough for a noticeable lift.
During high-stress or high-demand periods: Some patients benefit from a drip every 1–2 weeks for a short stretch—during travel season, training blocks, or when immunity feels low—then taper back once things stabilize.
Ongoing maintenance: Because the deeper benefits of nutrient replenishment tend to support the body for two to three weeks, many patients settle into a maintenance rhythm of roughly every 2–4 weeks. This pairs naturally with Flow Wellness’s Signature IV Membership ($189/month).
Your Flow Wellness clinician will help you find the right cadence based on your health history and goals.
