The Complete Guide to the Myers' Cocktail: Why It Is the World's Most Popular IV Drip

From its origins in the 1960s to its modern-day popularity, the Myers' Cocktail has helped millions feel better. Learn what is in it, who it helps, and why it is our best-selling IV drip in Pinellas County.

A Brief History of the Myers' Cocktail

The Myers' Cocktail was originally developed by Dr. John Myers, a physician at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, during the 1960s. Dr. Myers used intravenous nutrient therapy to treat a wide range of conditions, from chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia to asthma and migraines. After his death in 1984, his work was continued and popularized by Dr. Alan Gaby, who published extensively on the cocktail's clinical applications in the Alternative Medicine Review.

Today, the Myers' Cocktail is the most widely administered IV vitamin therapy in the world, used by integrative medicine clinics, wellness centers, and mobile IV services across the globe.

What Is in Our Myers' Cocktail?

My IV Nurse's Myers' Cocktail formulation includes:

  • Magnesium - Supports over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body, including muscle relaxation, nerve function, and energy production. Most Americans are deficient in magnesium.
  • B-Complex Vitamins - A full spectrum of B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6) that support energy metabolism, brain function, and cellular repair.
  • Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin) - The bioactive form of B12, essential for neurological function, red blood cell production, and DNA synthesis.
  • Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) - A powerful antioxidant and immune supporter delivered at IV-level doses far exceeding what oral supplements can achieve.
  • Calcium - Supports bone health, muscle function, and nerve signaling.

All ingredients are sourced from FDA-registered compounding pharmacies and administered by our licensed Registered Nurses.
