What the Myers Cocktail Contains
Quick Summary: IV Myers Cocktail therapy at Be Still Southside starts at $250.
A Myers Cocktail is a defined IV formula, not a random blend. The base includes magnesium, calcium, B-complex vitamins, B12, and vitamin C in sterile fluid. Any provider should be able to read you that list before the needle goes in.
Here's what surprises people. The Myers Cocktail isn't a trend somebody invented last year. It's a formula built around a specific short list of nutrients, and that list has stayed pretty consistent for decades.
The base is sterile fluid. Then the nutrients go in. We talk through each one during your intake, because you should know what's going into your arm.
- Magnesium - the ingredient most people feel first, often as a warm flush through the chest
- Calcium - paired with magnesium in the classic formula
- B-complex vitamins - the group tied to energy metabolism
- Vitamin B12 - the one folks ask about by name
- Vitamin C - included in the original protocol
- Sterile fluid base - the hydration part people forget is doing work too
Notice what's not on that list. No stimulants. No painkillers. No secret proprietary powder. If a provider won't tell you what's in the bag, that's your answer right there.
Now, does everybody get the identical bag? No. We build IV Myers Cocktail Therapy around what your intake shows, and we may add or hold something based on your history and what our clinical team reviews. That's a medical decision, not a menu upgrade.
And this matters more than the marketing does. Our facilities operate under Florida medical board rules with a qualified Medical Director, so the formula decisions run through licensed clinical staff. Ask any Jacksonville provider the same question - who signs off on the ingredients?
Nine times out of ten, the people who ask us the most questions end up the happiest with the visit.

Myers Cocktail vs. Standard IV Hydration Therapy
People ask us this almost every day. What's the actual difference? A standard IV hydration drip is mostly fluid. Saline, sometimes a little electrolyte support, occasionally one add-in. It puts volume back in your system fast. That's it, and that's often all somebody needs.
IV Myers Cocktail Therapy is a specific formula. Magnesium, calcium, B-complex vitamins, B12, and vitamin C delivered together in one bag. The blend has been used in clinical settings since Dr. John Myers developed it decades ago. It isn't a random mix of whatever sounds good on a menu.
So the real difference is purpose. One replaces water. The other replaces nutrients.
- Plain hydration fits a hot afternoon, a long run, a stomach bug, or a rough night out.
- A Myers Cocktail fits fatigue that won't lift, frequent tension headaches, seasonal crashes, or a body running on empty for weeks.
- Plain hydration usually runs shorter. A Myers drip goes slower on purpose, because magnesium pushed too fast feels warm and strange.
- Hydration is a reset for today. Myers is often done in a short series over several weeks.
Here's where the cost question comes in. Across the IV therapy industry, pricing tracks ingredients and chair time. A fluid-only bag has fewer components and moves faster. A vitamin and mineral formula has more compounded ingredients and needs a longer drip, so it sits higher on almost every menu you'll see. Nobody should be charging the same for both.
Not sure which one you need? That's genuinely common. We'd rather talk it through than have you guess off a price list. Sometimes we tell someone a basic hydration bag is plenty and send them home, and that's a fine outcome.

Who Should Ask Questions Before Booking
Here's the part most places skip. IV Myers Cocktail Therapy isn't right for everybody, and some people should talk to their doctor before they ever talk to us.
If you have kidney disease, your body handles fluid and minerals differently. That's a real conversation with your nephrologist first, not something to figure out in a treatment chair. Same goes for heart failure or anyone on a fluid restriction. A liter of saline is a lot of volume for a body that's already struggling to move it. And if you're pregnant, we want your OB in the loop before anything goes in an IV.
G6PD deficiency matters too. High-dose vitamin C can cause problems for people with that condition, so we screen for it.
Now the other side of it. Sometimes people come in expecting an IV to fix something it was never built to fix. Chronic fatigue that's been going on for months isn't a hydration problem, it's usually a thyroid, iron, sleep, or hormone problem hiding underneath. We'd rather run comprehensive bloodwork and find the cause. You'll get a better answer, and a cheaper one.
Mild dehydration after a hot afternoon on the water? Drink water. Eat something salty. You don't need us for that.
We see this every single week, especially through the Jacksonville summer when heat index sits above 100 for days at a stretch. Someone feels wiped out and assumes they're dangerously depleted. Most of the time they're just behind on fluids and sleep. But if you're running on empty week after week, that's different. That's worth looking at properly.
So ask questions. Ask who's supervising the treatment, what's in the bag, and what happens if you react to something. Any provider worth your time will answer without getting defensive.

What Happens During Your Visit
Most people picture a hospital hallway. It's nothing like that. You're in a chair, shoes off, lights low, and the whole thing is over before your parking meter blinks.
Here's how an IV Myers Cocktail Therapy session runs at our Point Meadows studio near St. Johns Town Center.
- Intake and review. We go over your health history, medications, allergies, and what you're hoping to feel better about.
- Vitals and hydration check. Blood pressure, pulse, and a quick look at how hydrated you are that day.
- Vein assessment. We check both arms and pick the easiest access point. Warm packs help if your veins are shy.
- Placement. A small catheter goes in, the needle comes out. What stays behind is soft plastic, not metal.
- The drip. Your bag runs slow and steady. This is the part where people nap, scroll, or just sit quiet.
- Removal and short observation. We pull the line, apply pressure, and keep an eye on you for a few minutes before you head out.
The drip itself usually takes 30 to 60 minutes. We don't rush it. Pushing a Myers blend too fast is the number one reason people feel flushed or tingly, and slowing the rate fixes it almost every time.
You might taste something odd mid-drip. Metallic, vitamin-ish, hard to describe. That's the B vitamins and it's normal. Some folks feel warmth spread across the chest. Also normal, also brief.
Bring a water bottle and eat something beforehand. Skipping breakfast is the fastest way to feel lightheaded in the chair, and we see it every single week.
Afterward there's no downtime. Drive yourself. Go back to work. Some people notice a lift the same afternoon, others feel it the next morning - it varies more than anyone likes to admit.

When You Don't Need a Myers Cocktail
Here's the part most places won't tell you. Plenty of people who ask us about IV Myers Cocktail Therapy don't need it. Not that week, anyway.
If you're mildly thirsty after a hot Saturday, water and a decent meal will fix that. Same with one rough night out. Your gut absorbs fluids just fine when you're otherwise healthy, and skipping the needle is the cheaper, simpler answer. We say this in consults every single week.
- You're running a fever or fighting an active infection. See a physician first, not a wellness suite.
- You have kidney disease, heart failure, or fluid restrictions from your doctor. Extra volume can be a real problem.
- You're already taking high-dose vitamin supplements and haven't had bloodwork. You may not be low on anything.
- You want it for weight loss. That's not what this is, and we won't pretend otherwise.
- You're pregnant or nursing and haven't cleared it with your OB.
There's also the timing question. Some people book because they feel foggy and tired all the time. Fatigue that never lifts isn't a hydration issue, it's a signal. Low iron, thyroid trouble, poor sleep, and blood sugar swings all look identical from the outside. A bag of vitamins can mask that for a couple of days and cost you months of not knowing.
That's why we'd rather look at comprehensive bloodwork before we look at an IV pole. If your labs show you're fine, we'll say so.
And if you're a Southside professional grabbing an appointment between meetings near Point Meadows because it sounds like a quick fix - be honest with yourself about what you're chasing. Sometimes the answer is sleep. We'd rather tell you that than sell you something.
