Five decades of clinical use, one formulation — the most proven multi-nutrient IV protocol in integrative medicine.
The Myers' Cocktail is the most widely used IV nutrient formulation in integrative medicine, developed by Dr John Myers in the 1960s and documented by Dr Alan Gaby across thousands of patients. It combines magnesium, calcium, B-complex vitamins, and vitamin C in a single drip — a formula that has been used clinically for chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, migraines, and immune support for over five decades. Thai wellness clinics deliver this proven protocol at 70–85% less than private clinics in the West.
Free, no-obligation — you pay the hospital directly with no markup.
The Myers' Cocktail is an intravenous infusion of key vitamins and minerals that have been used together in clinical practice since the 1960s. The standard formulation includes magnesium chloride, calcium gluconate, thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacinamide (B3), dexpanthenol (B5), pyridoxine (B6), hydroxocobalamin (B12), and ascorbic acid, delivered in sterile saline. Because the nutrients enter the bloodstream directly, plasma concentrations far exceed what oral supplementation can reach.
Dr Gaby published a landmark review in 2002 documenting clinical outcomes across thousands of patients, establishing the Myers' Cocktail as the reference protocol for IV nutrient therapy. Conditions treated included chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, seasonal allergies, migraines, upper respiratory infections, and general malaise. In Thailand, accredited clinics prepare each infusion under strict pharmaceutical standards, with a physician reviewing your health history before the drip begins. Sessions are comfortable, take 30 to 60 minutes, and require no recovery — making the Myers' Cocktail practical whether you are in Thailand specifically for wellness or adding a treatment to an existing trip.
The Myers' Cocktail is the same formulation worldwide. What varies is cost, clinical setting, and whether a course of sessions is financially practical.

Your Quote Will Include
Prices are approximate and vary by technique, surgeon, and hospital. Your personalised quote will include a full cost breakdown.
A Myers' Cocktail at a Thai wellness clinic costs between $100 and $150 per session. The standard formulation sits at the lower end, while enhanced versions with added glutathione, zinc, or selenium are slightly higher. Multi-session packages are commonly available at a reduced per-session rate.
The core Myers' formulation is standardised, so price variation comes from enhancements — added nutrients, glutathione push, or a pre-infusion blood panel. Multi-session courses are typically discounted. Whether the clinic includes a physician review in the session fee or charges separately also affects the total.
Pricing varies by the complexity and scope of the procedure. Typical ranges at our partner hospitals in Thailand:
Exact pricing is confirmed after your consultation and treatment plan are finalised.
A Myers' Cocktail in Thailand costs 70–85% less than the same infusion at a private clinic in the US ($200–$400), Australia (A$200–A$350), or UK (£150–£300). The formulation, preparation standards, and medical oversight are equivalent — the difference is Thailand's lower operating costs.
The core ingredients are well-defined, but Thai clinics offer flexibility in how the protocol is delivered and whether additional nutrients are included.
The classic formulation as documented by Gaby. A balanced blend of magnesium, calcium, B vitamins, and vitamin C infused over 30–45 minutes. The most widely studied version and the recommended starting point for most clients.
Expands on the standard formula by adding zinc, selenium, glutathione, or amino acids based on your consultation and blood work. The additions target specific deficiencies or goals beyond the core protocol without changing the foundational balance.
A structured series of three to six infusions over one to two weeks, with dosages adjusted between sessions based on your response. Cumulative benefit is the goal — each successive drip builds on the last.
The formulation is standardised, but preparation quality and delivery standards vary between clinics. Here is what a clinical-grade experience involves.
All vitamins and minerals used at our partner clinics are pharmaceutical-grade, sourced from certified suppliers, and prepared under sterile conditions. The magnesium-to-calcium ratio follows Gaby's published protocol, and each batch is freshly compounded for the session.
The drip rate matters. Magnesium delivered too quickly can cause a drop in blood pressure or a flushing sensation. Experienced nurses start at a conservative rate and adjust based on your comfort, ensuring the full dose is delivered without unnecessary side effects.
A physician or senior nurse reviews your medical history, current medications, and kidney function before the drip begins. This screening catches contraindications — particularly relevant for the magnesium and calcium components — and ensures the formulation is safe for you.
You sit or recline while the drip runs for 30–60 minutes. A nurse monitors the rate and checks in regularly. Most clients relax, read, or work. A gentle warmth from the magnesium is normal.
The cannula is removed, a small plaster applied, and you leave. No sedation, no observation period, no activity restrictions.
Many clients report a noticeable lift in energy and mental clarity within hours. Improved sleep quality and muscle relaxation often follow within a day or two as magnesium levels stabilise.
Benefits accumulate. Clients who complete three to six infusions typically report more sustained energy, fewer headaches, and improved resilience to colds and stress.
A single Myers' Cocktail takes 30–60 minutes and can be scheduled on any day of your trip. For a course of three to six sessions, a one-week stay provides comfortable spacing. Many clients combine the Myers' with glutathione or hydration drips across the same week.
Many clients feel improved energy and mental sharpness within a few hours. Deeper benefits — better sleep, fewer headaches, stronger immune function — build over multiple sessions. Clients with genuine nutrient deficiencies tend to notice the most dramatic improvement.
A single session provides a meaningful boost. For chronic conditions like fatigue or fibromyalgia, regular infusions every two to four weeks produce more sustained results. Between sessions, oral magnesium and B vitamins can help maintain levels.
The Myers' Cocktail has one of the longest safety records of any IV nutrient protocol. Minor considerations apply.
Your specialist checks your medical history, current medications, and kidney function before administering the infusion. The drip rate is carefully controlled and adjusted at any time if you experience discomfort.
Yes. Dr Gaby's 2002 review in Alternative Medicine Review documented clinical outcomes across thousands of patients for conditions including chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, migraines, and upper respiratory infections. A 2009 placebo-controlled pilot study by Ali et al. demonstrated improvement in fibromyalgia symptoms. The protocol remains one of the most referenced IV formulations in integrative medicine worldwide.
The primary safety consideration is the magnesium and calcium content — patients with severe kidney disease, certain heart conditions, or those taking digoxin require dosage modification or an alternative formulation. A pre-infusion health review catches these contraindications. For healthy adults, the safety profile is excellent.
Individuals with severe kidney disease, uncontrolled heart failure, or those taking digoxin or certain cardiac medications should discuss suitability with their specialist before proceeding. The magnesium component requires careful dosing in these populations. Your pre-infusion consultation identifies any relevant contraindications.
The Myers' Cocktail is a standardised formulation, but preparation quality and clinical oversight still vary between clinics.
Our partner clinics follow Gaby's published formulation using pharmaceutical-grade ingredients prepared under sterile conditions. All infusions are administered by registered nurses in comfortable, purpose-built infusion suites. Medical backup is available on-site.
A physician or senior nurse reviews your health history and medications before your first session. Kidney function is assessed for patients with renal concerns. The drip rate is managed by experienced IV nurses who can adjust in real time.
Ask whether the clinic follows the Gaby-documented formulation or uses a modified version — not all "Myers' Cocktails" contain the same ingredients. Confirm pharmaceutical-grade sourcing and sterile preparation. Verify that a medical professional supervises the infusion.
The Myers' Cocktail is one of the best-documented IV nutrient therapies. Here is what realistic outcomes look like.
Clients with genuine nutrient depletion — low magnesium, B-vitamin deficiency, or high oxidative stress — typically notice the most significant improvement. Increased energy, improved sleep, reduced headache frequency, and stronger immune resilience are the most commonly reported benefits. Well-nourished individuals may experience a more modest lift.
The Myers' Cocktail is a nutrient repletion tool, not a cure for underlying disease. It works best as a complement to good nutrition, adequate sleep, and stress management. For chronic conditions like fibromyalgia or migraines, published data shows symptom improvement rather than elimination.
The Myers' Cocktail is one of the easiest IV treatments to schedule. Here is how to fit it into your trip.
A single session takes 30–60 minutes and can be booked on any day of your visit. For a multi-session course, a one-week stay provides comfortable spacing for three to four infusions.
Your session includes a pre-infusion health review, pharmaceutical-grade Myers' formulation, nurse-monitored IV administration, comfortable infusion suite, post-infusion observation, and aftercare advice.
The Myers' Cocktail combines well with glutathione (added at the end of the same session or as a separate drip), hydration therapy, or NAD+ infusions. Your care coordinator can schedule complementary treatments across your stay.
