Complete nutrient bioavailability
IV infusion delivers full-strength, active nutrients directly to your cells. Oral absorption depends on stomach acid, digestive enzymes, and gut health, and many nutrients are lost in the process.

Benefits & Outcomes
Immediate effect
Many people feel the benefits of a Myers Cocktail during or shortly after the infusion. Oral supplements typically take hours or days to accumulate and show effect.
No digestive burden
IV therapy is ideal for people with digestive inflammation, IBS, malabsorption disorders, or those taking medications that interfere with nutrient absorption.
Precision dosing
IV formulas are clinician-prepared to exact specifications. Oral supplements vary widely in quality, bioavailability, and actual nutrient content.
Ideal maintenance strategy
Many clients use Myers Cocktail quarterly or monthly for baseline wellness, then use oral supplements for maintenance between infusions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is IV therapy better than taking supplements?▾
IV and oral supplements serve different purposes. IV therapy delivers immediate, full-strength nutrients for acute needs or baseline wellness. Oral supplements are convenient for daily maintenance. Many people use both strategically.
Why doesn't my multivitamin work as well as the Myers Cocktail?▾
Oral supplements depend on your digestive system to absorb nutrients. If you have digestive inflammation, low stomach acid, or nutrient malabsorption, much of your supplement doesn't get absorbed. IV bypasses digestion entirely.
How often should I get a Myers Cocktail if I also take oral supplements?▾
This depends on your goals and health status. Many clients use Myers Cocktail monthly or quarterly for baseline wellness, then rely on oral supplements for maintenance. Your clinician can recommend a combined strategy.
Should I stop taking supplements if I get a Myers Cocktail?▾
Not necessarily. Some clients continue certain supplements between infusions, while others use the Myers Cocktail as their primary nutrient source. Discuss your full regimen with our clinicians.
Can I have digestive absorption issues without knowing it?▾
Yes. Conditions like inflammation, dysbiosis, low stomach acid, and certain medications can silently reduce nutrient absorption. If you feel consistently fatigued despite supplementation, IV therapy may be more effective.
Is the Myers Cocktail more expensive than supplements?▾
Per session, yes, but you receive full bioavailability and immediate effect. Consider it a targeted wellness investment rather than a daily supplement replacement. Most clients use both strategically.
