Myers Cocktail IV in Boston

The Myers Cocktail is the original vitamin IV drip — a blend of magnesium, B-complex vitamins, and vitamin C delivered in a liter of IV fluid. It was developed by Baltimore physician Dr. John Myers and has been used for decades to support energy, immunity, and general wellness. At IV League, our version is called The MVP.

The MVP — our Myers Cocktail drip — is $249 at our South Boston clinics, including 1 liter of Lactated Ringer's, B Complex, magnesium, and vitamin C. Prefer we come to you? Mobile IV concierge is +$100 over in-store pricing, anywhere in the Boston area. Members save 10% automatically.

1 liter of Lactated Ringer's for deep cellular hydration, B Complex vitamins for energy metabolism, magnesium for muscle relaxation and stress, and vitamin C for immune support. Every ingredient is pharmaceutical grade and listed transparently — no mystery blends.

Plan for 45–60 minutes in the clinic. Most clients relax, work on a laptop, or scroll their phone during the infusion. Mobile appointments include nurse travel time but the infusion itself is the same.

Anyone feeling run down, burnt out, or under stress. It's our most-recommended drip for general wellness, immune support during cold and flu season, pre-travel prep, and recovering from demanding work or training stretches. Our nurses screen every client before infusing.

The Myers Cocktail has a long track record when administered by licensed medical professionals. Every IV League session starts with a nurse review of your health history, medications, and allergies, and all infusions are given by licensed nurses under medical supervision.

Lactated Ringer's (LR) is a sterile, balanced crystalloid IV fluid that contains sodium, chloride, potassium, calcium, and sodium lactate in concentrations close to your own blood plasma. It's the same fluid used in hospitals and emergency departments. We use Lactated Ringer's as the base fluid in our IV drips because the added electrolytes and lactate buffer replace what you actually lose through sweat, illness, vomiting, or alcohol — not just water and salt.

Normal saline is 0.9% sodium chloride in water — sodium and chloride only. Lactated Ringer's adds potassium and calcium and includes lactate, which the liver converts to bicarbonate to help buffer acidity. Because its chloride level is closer to plasma, LR is generally considered gentler for larger-volume rehydration. Both are sterile, pharmaceutical-grade fluids; we chose LR as the standard base for our drips.

Clinically, Lactated Ringer's is used whenever fluid and electrolyte losses need to be replaced together — dehydration, hangover and GI-related fluid loss, heat and endurance exertion, illness with fever or vomiting, and post-procedure recovery. In our clinics it's the base for hydration and vitamin drips, and your nurse selects the volume and any add-ins for your visit under our Medical Director's standing protocols.

A licensed registered nurse reviews your intake and vitals, confirms there are no contraindications, then places a small IV catheter — usually in the forearm or hand — using single-use sterile supplies and aseptic technique. The Lactated Ringer's bag is spiked with a fresh IV set, primed, and infused by gravity at a nurse-set rate, typically 30–60 minutes for a liter. Any vitamins, minerals, or medications ordered under protocol are added to the bag or given as a slow IV push. Your nurse stays with you and monitors you throughout, then removes the catheter and applies a dressing at the end.

No — the volume is a clinical decision. Most standard drips are 1 liter, but your nurse may run a smaller volume or a slower rate based on your size, vitals, medical history, and how you're tolerating the infusion. If anything changes during your visit, the nurse can slow or stop the infusion at any time.

Lactated Ringer's may not be appropriate if you have significant kidney or liver disease, congestive heart failure, high potassium or calcium levels, or if you take medications that affect electrolyte balance. It's also not compatible with certain drugs in the same line. That's why every visit begins with a nurse-led intake and screening — if LR isn't right for you, we'll say so and refer you to your physician rather than proceed.

No. IV therapy, including Lactated Ringer's, must be administered by a licensed healthcare professional in a clinical setting. At IV League Hydration, every infusion is started and monitored by a registered nurse under protocols directed by our Medical Director.
