The Myers Cocktail at Benway Beauty: Ankeny's Premier IV Therapy for Energy, Immunity, and Whole-Body Wellness

You eat well. You sleep (when you can). You take your vitamins. And yet — you still feel like you're running on empty.

If that sounds familiar, you're not alone. More people than ever are turning to IV therapy to bridge the gap between how they feel and how they want to feel. At Benway Beauty in Ankeny, Iowa, we offer one of the most trusted and clinically recognized IV formulas available: the Myers Cocktail — with an optional Glutathione add-on for patients who want to take their results even further.

What Is IV Therapy — and Why Does Delivery Method Matter?

When you take a supplement orally, your body absorbs only a fraction of what you actually consume. The digestive process breaks it down and filters it, so by the time those nutrients reach your bloodstream, their potency is significantly reduced.

IV therapy bypasses the digestive system entirely.

Nutrients are delivered directly into your bloodstream, meaning your body absorbs close to 100% of what's administered — immediately and efficiently. The difference in how patients feel after IV therapy versus oral supplementation is often noticeable from the very first session.

What Is the Myers Cocktail?

The Myers Cocktail is a specially formulated blend of essential vitamins and minerals delivered intravenously. It was developed by the late Dr. John Myers, a Baltimore physician who pioneered the use of IV micronutrients to support a wide range of health concerns.

At Benway Beauty, our Myers' Cocktail includes a powerful combination of:

• Magnesium — supports muscle recovery, stress reduction, and sleep quality

• B vitamins (including B12) — essential for energy production, brain function, and metabolism

• Vitamin C — a powerful antioxidant that supports immune function and collagen production

• Calcium — supports bone health, nerve function, and cardiovascular wellness

Together, these nutrients work synergistically to restore what daily life, stress, illness, and even intense exercise can deplete.

What Can the Myers' Cocktail Help With?

Patients at Benway Beauty come to us for IV therapy for a wide variety of reasons. The Myers Cocktail is particularly well-suited for:

• Chronic fatigue and low energy — when coffee and sleep just aren't cutting it

• Immune support — especially during cold and flu season or periods of high stress

• Migraine relief — magnesium has been clinically studied for its role in migraine management

• Athletic recovery — replenish what intense training depletes

• Brain fog — sharper mental clarity is one of the most commonly reported benefits

• General wellness maintenance — for patients who simply want to feel their best consistently

Whether you're recovering from an illness, pushing through a demanding season of life, or simply investing in your long-term health, the Myers Cocktail meets you where you are.

The Glutathione Add-On: Your Body's Master Antioxidant

For patients who want to elevate their IV therapy results, we offer Glutathione as a powerful add-on to the Myers Cocktail.

Glutathione is often called the body's "master antioxidant" — and for good reason. It is produced naturally in the body, but its levels decline with age, stress, poor diet, and exposure to environmental toxins.

When administered via IV, Glutathione delivers benefits that oral supplements simply cannot match:

• Skin brightening and luminosity — one of the most sought-after aesthetic benefits

• Cellular detoxification — helps neutralize and eliminate toxins at the cellular level

• Immune system strengthening — supports the body's natural defense mechanisms

• Reduced oxidative stress — helps slow the aging process from the inside out

• Enhanced liver function — critical for overall detoxification and metabolic health

Patients who add Glutathione to their Myers' Cocktail often report a noticeable difference in their skin's radiance and overall vitality — sometimes after just one session.

What to Expect at Your IV Therapy Appointment at Benway Beauty

We know your time is valuable. A Myers Cocktail session at Benway Beauty typically takes 30 to 45 minutes — making it easy to fit into a lunch break, a morning before work, or an afternoon between obligations.

Here is what the process looks like:

A small IV catheter is placed, most commonly in the arm. The nutrient blend is then administered slowly and comfortably through your IV line. Most patients relax, scroll their phones, or simply enjoy a few quiet minutes to themselves during the infusion. You leave feeling refreshed — not drained.

There is no downtime. Most patients notice improved energy and mental clarity within hours of their appointment.

How Often Should You Get IV Therapy?

This depends entirely on your health goals and lifestyle. At Benway Beauty, we typically recommend:

• Once a month for general wellness maintenance

• Every 2 weeks during periods of high stress, illness recovery, or intense physical training

• As needed for patients who use IV therapy situationally — before a big event, after travel, or at the first sign of illness

Our team will work with you to identify a cadence that makes sense for your body and your goals.
