Many of our intravenous therapies are based on the classic Myers Cocktail Intravenous Infusion which is comprised of:
→ Vitamin C, Minerals – Magnesium sulphate, Calcium & Vitamin B cocktail comprising of B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12
We offer our IV WELL ELIXIR – which is based on the very popular Myers’ Cocktail, “tried and trusted” formula – but with several new, fortified formulations on offer – there are many more beneficial and strategic combinations on offer.
We enhance this base formulation where necessary depending on indications and individual needs:
→ Amino acids – Taurine, Carnitine, Acetylcysteine, L-Arginine
→ Vitamin C
→ Vitamin B2, B3, B5, B6, B12
→ Zinc, Calcium, Potassium, Magnesium
→ Glutathione
→ Phosphatidylcholine (PPC)
→ Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA)
So, you are wondering what’s the value of the individual components of the intravenous therapies?
Magnesium
Can help with energy as it is necessary for the formulation of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) which fuels our cells. It’s also a precursor for the feel-good hormone serotonin. In addition, it plays a role in the synthesis of glutathione which is one of the bodies most potent antioxidants and is involved in detoxifying the liver.
Calcium
We normally think of calcium as being essential for bone health, which it is, but so are magnesium and other vitamins such as vitamin D. Calcium is the most common mineral in our bodies and assists in the functioning of our nervous and muscular systems and in the secretion of many hormones and enzymes. Since calcium is needed for so many processes in our body it is often borrowed from our bones to maintain proper levels so it is important to get enough from food and other sources.
Pyridoxine (Vitamin B6)
Supports over 100 different enzymatic processes in our bodies. It helps in energy production. It helps produce neurotransmitters such as norepinephrine, serotonin, and dopamine and GABA. It is involved in the synthesis of antibodies which are necessary for immune function. It must be obtained from the diet and supplements because it cannot be produced in the human body.
Dexpanthenol (Vitamin B5
Aids in release of energy from foods, is involved in the transport of fatty acids to and from cells and accelerates fatty acid breakdown in the mitochondria. It supports adrenal glands.
Methylcobalamin (Vitamin B12)
Helps in keeping the body’s nerve and blood cells healthy and helps make DNA.
Thiamine (Vitamin B1)
Plays an essential role in carbohydrate metabolism and energy production.
Riboflavin (Vitamin B2)
Is needed to promote healthy growth and tissue repair in addition to helping release energy from carbohydrates. It also activates pyridoxine.
Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)
Helps maintain normal function of skin, nerves, and our digestive system. It also reduces LDL cholesterol and triglycerides.
Vitamin C
Needed for the growth and repair of tissues in all parts of your body. A powerful antioxidant which neutralises free radicals and stimulates the immune system. The body is not able to make vitamin C on its own, and it does not store vitamin C. It is therefore important to get plenty of vitamin C from diet, ideally, or supplementation.
Glutathione
Known as the super anti-oxidant. It detoxifies the body and has a brightening effect on the skin. This supplement is well reputed to provide the visible glow after administration.
