There’s certainly a lot of positive buzz in the world of IV hydration therapy. If your chosen medspa offers recreational IV treatments as a service, it’s likely that you’ve noticed plenty of different IV options with various benefits. So what is a Myers’ cocktail? Read on to learn the answer to this as well as five impressive Myers’ cocktail benefits.
Who Was John Myer?
John Myer, MD practiced medicine in Boston, Massachusetts before his passing in 1984. He was ahead of his time, trailblazing the way for future generations to use IV infusions for nutritional purposes. The “Myer’s cocktail” he pioneered (and variations on it) remains one of the most popular IV cocktail options available to this day.

Immunity Support
With flu season around the corner, it never hurts to ensure our bodily defenses are operating at full capacity. A nutrient-packed Myers’ cocktail can help ward off all the nasty stuff that might otherwise get in the way of family fun, holiday festivities, and simply enjoying what life has in store.
Nerve & Bone Health
If you haven’t been drinking enough milk like your momma told you, the Myers’ cocktail is here to help. Not getting the B12 you need for a healthy nervous system (Bio IV Therapy)? A Myers’ cocktail with vitamin B12 may be just the ticket! (Another option for low B12 levels? B12 shots!)
Energy Boost
There are a lot of things that can affect our energy levels. Winter blues, lack of an adequate exercise routine, low B12, poor sleep, or a combination of factors could be getting in the way of your get-up-and-go. Why let it?
Cognition
Who doesn’t want to support their big, beautiful brain? Mental acuity isn’t just about reading books, playing Dual-N-Back, and acing tests though. Getting the right vitamins and nutrients plays a role too, and the Myers’ cocktail makes an excellent study buddy.
Hydration
Science tells us that little (if anything) is more critical to human biological maintenance than adequate hydration. Despite this, the number of people who struggle to drink enough water is pretty staggering. IV hydration represents a fun, easy, and speedy way to get all the fluids we need.

“Banana Bag” vs Myers’ IV Cocktail
We’ve been discussing what is probably the most famous IV therapy cocktail. But there’s another buzzword getting a lot of hype in this industry: banana bag IVs. Frequently marketed as a speedy hangover cure, these IVs are all the rage after big nights out. So what’s the difference between these two concoctions…? NOTHING.
That’s right! John Myer’s original IV is actually the same basic thing as a banana bag. The “banana branding” here refers to the yellow hue of the fluid inside these IV bags, but a banana bag offers basically the same jam-packed recipe of essential vitamins and nutrients.
