Q. What is a Myers Cocktail?
A. Myers Coctail is an alternative therapy that was invented over a half century by John Myers. A Myers Cocktail is typically a combination of Vitamins C, B Complex, B5, B6, B12, Folic Acid, Calcium and Magnesium (blended with sterile water or saline). The specific amounts of nutrients can vary depending on the patient and the condition being treated.

Q. What are the benefits of a Myers Cocktail?
A. Having the mixture added directly to the blood has better absorption rates. By going directly into the bloodstream the Myers Cocktail avoids the digestive system, where most nutrients are poorly absorbed and mostly eliminated. For most of the general population, over 50% of the vitamins and minerals taken by mouth are lost through urine and stool.
Q. Who can benefit from a Myers Cocktail?
A. Pretty much anyone wanting to improve and maintain their overall health. Rucker Integrative Medicine has treated athletes, individuals under chronic stress, students, those with compromised immune status, seniors, etc. Some of the symptoms a Myers Cocktail can help relieve (but not limited to):
- Fatigue and Low energy
- Seasonal Allergies, Asthma, Sinusitis
- Eczema, Acne and other skin conditions
- Migraines
- Hormonal imbalance
- Poor memory and concentration
- Stress, Anxiety and Depression
- Muscle spasm and pain, Muscle recovery and endurance
- Arthritis and Chronic Pain
- Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue syndrome
Q. How often does one get a Myers Cocktail?
A. Myers Cocktails may be used weekly over 3-5 weeks (or more). This will usually be tapered down as symptoms improvement is monitored. Myers Cocktails may also be used monthly for chronic conditions (migraines, allergies, etc), general health maintenance and to help support immune function.
Q. Are there any side effects?
A. Myers Cocktails are a very safe, proven and effective therapy with minimal risks. The most common side effect is occasional redness or irritation at the site of injection, and this resolves shortly after the treatment. Some patients may experience low blood pressure or light-headedness during or after injection, but these typically only last for 5 to 10 minutes. Having a mild taste of B vitamins in the back of the throat is not uncommon, but this diminishes shortly after treatment. Some of our patients have noted a feeling of warmth and relaxation coming over their body due to the magnesium (muscle relaxant)
Q. What is the cost?
A. Currently we charge $95 Cash. Insurance does not reimburse for Myers Cocktail Therapy.
