The History of the Myers' Cocktail
The Myers' Cocktail was developed by Dr. John Myers, a physician at Johns Hopkins University, in the 1970s. Dr. Myers used intravenous nutrient therapy to treat a wide range of conditions, from chronic fatigue to migraines. After his passing, Dr. Alan Gaby continued his work and published a landmark review in 2002 documenting the formula's clinical applications.
Today, the Myers' Cocktail is one of the most widely administered IV formulas in integrative medicine.

We offer both half-bag and full-bag options:
- Half Bag — Ideal for first-timers, maintenance sessions, or those with a lighter schedule. Faster infusion time (30–45 minutes).
- Full Bag — Recommended for those with significant deficiencies, athletes, or those seeking maximum therapeutic benefit. Full infusion takes 45–60 minutes.
