Feeling low on energy, dehydrated, or stressed?
Myers’ cocktail IV therapy is one of our most popular wellness treatments at ThrIVe Drip Spa. It is specially formulated for people looking to replenish essential nutrients and support their overall health.
This blend of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants helps to boost your immune system, increase your energy levels, and improve your overall health. It is named after the doctor who administered the first IV vitamin treatments in the 1970s.
We’ll break down the science of how Myers’ cocktail IVs work and what to expect during your treatment.
What Are the Key Ingredients of a Myers’ Cocktail IV?
A Myers’ Drip will typically include:
- Vitamin C: This vitamin helps boost your immune system and improve your overall health.
- Vitamin B-12: This vitamin supports red blood cell and nerve cell health. It can reduce fatigue and muscle weakness.
- Vitamin B-complex: This supplement is made up of eight B vitamins, all of which are important to your body’s cellular health. Together, they support brain function and may reduce stress levels.
- Electrolytes: Electrolytes are minerals and chemical substances that help regulate your body’s natural balance. They support your nerves and muscles, regulate your body’s systems, and help you stay hydrated, especially after exercising.
- Magnesium: This mineral reduces fatigue, headaches, migraines, and muscle tension. It can also reduce anxiety and help you sleep better.
- Saline solution: As with other intravenous treatments, all ingredients of a Myers’ cocktail are administered via an IV bag, along with one liter of saline solution.
Depending on your needs, you may also boost your results by adding:
- Glutathione: This antioxidant supports your immune system. It helps reduce your risk of diseases like diabetes, cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, and other autoimmune diseases.
- Zinc: This mineral supports your immune and digestive systems. It also helps with skin and eye health.
Your provider will work with you to decide the formulation that is right for your health goals. While Myers’ cocktail IVs are generally considered safe for most people, it’s important to be treated by a healthcare professional who inquires about all supplements you’re currently taking and any conditions you have.
Benefits of a Myers’ Cocktail IV
Hydration
Up to 75 percent of all Americans are chronically dehydrated. That’s a real problem when you consider that your body is made up of around 60 percent water.
If you’re not staying hydrated, your body isn’t functioning at its full capacity. Water is essential for the body to be able to absorb nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. Even if you’re eating healthy foods and taking supplements, you may not be receiving the full benefits if you aren’t staying hydrated.
Myers’ cocktail IVs deliver the nutrients your body needs, along with a liter of hydrating saline solution. Because the fluid is being delivered via IV, your body can absorb it quickly, leaving you feeling refreshed and hydrated.
Energy
Feeling tired?
Treating fatigue is more complicated than just getting a good night’s rest. Did you know that chronic fatigue is closely linked to dehydration, stress, nutrition, and vitamin deficiencies?
The B-12 and B-complex vitamins in the Myers’ cocktail help support your body’s energy levels at a cellular level, improving the functionality of your brain and muscles.
In addition, magnesium impacts your muscles and nerves, which can reduce feelings of fatigue.
An IV cocktail works much more efficiently than quick fixes like a cup of coffee or an energy drink. Treating the underlying causes of your lack of energy can give you the long-term support you need to start feeling more energetic every day.
Pain
Myers’ cocktail IVs are also used to support recovery from pain, muscle tension, and inflammation by replenishing essential nutrients and hydrating your body’s cells.
Magnesium in particular plays a starring role here. Low magnesium has been linked to muscle cramps, headaches, migraines, and chronic muscle tension. The magnesium in the IV treatment relaxes your muscles and contributes to your body’s overall nerve health.
Overall Wellness
All ingredients in the Myers’ IV work together to support your overall wellness. Rather than focusing on a single symptom, this treatment is designed to support your health holistically with the vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fluids your body needs to function at its best.
In fact, many people who opt for a Myers’ cocktail aren’t looking to treat one specific symptom. Instead, they’re looking to proactively support their health and keep all systems of their body in balance.
Why an IV Versus an Oral Treatment?
A Myers’ cocktail is administered intravenously. That means that the nutrients are delivered into your bloodstream, rather than passing through your digestive system first.
While oral supplements can be an effective addition to your wellness routine, your body has to break down and absorb nutrients through your stomach and intestines. Some nutrients may be lost along the way or absorbed inconsistently, especially if you have underlying conditions that impact your digestion or metabolism.
IV therapy bypasses the digestive system and delivers nutrients and fluids directly. This can provide faster, more consistent results, as nutrients can be absorbed more easily. Many people notice benefits more quickly than they do when just taking oral supplements.
What to Expect During a Myers’ Cocktail IV Session
If you’ve never had IV therapy before, don’t worry. For most people, the process is easy and relaxing. Your provider will review your health history, symptoms, medications, supplements, and wellness goals, and together, you’ll discuss the best IV formulation for your needs.
During the treatment, an IV is placed into your arm. Over the next 30 to 45 minutes, the infusion will slowly be administered, and you’ll be able to fully relax in a comfortable spa setting. At ThrIVe Drip Spa, we provide complimentary beverages, protein bars, and cozy blankets, ensuring every aspect of your visit is designed for your ultimate comfort and relaxation.
