Vitamin D is both a nutrient we eat and a hormone our bodies make. Vitamin D is known as the “Sunshine Vitamin” because we need the sun for our bodies to activate this hormone in our bodies. In Oregon, we unfortunately have many months of cloud cover, live further from the sun then other states, and most all of us work indoors which negatively affects our production of Vitamin D and leads to deficiencies.
It is a fat-soluble vitamin that has long been known to help the body absorb and retain calcium and phosphorus; both are critical for building bone. Also, laboratory studies show that vitamin D can reduce cancer cell growth, help control infections and reduce inflammation. Many of the body’s organs and tissues have receptors for vitamin D, which suggest important roles beyond bone health, and scientists are actively investigating other possible functions and benefits to our health.
Vitamin D is actually a hormone, chemically very similar to Testosterone, Estrogen, and Progesterone, which is one reason why the body relies on it so much for overall health. D vitamins are fat-soluble, which means that they are stored within the liver and other fatty tissues when they aren’t used and are secreted when the body needs them. Being a fat soluble vitamin it is important when taking this vitamin that it is combined with fat for absorption.

IV Vitamin Therapy – 5 Benefits You Need to Know
Americans have been taking their vitamins by swallowing them with their beverage of choice for decades. However, there is a downside to taking vitamins orally. Because vitamins first have to get through the stomach and digestive tract, 50 percent will never get absorbed into the bloodstream. Things change dramatically when vitamins are administrated through an IV. Your body can absorb IV vitamin treatments at a higher absorption rate, up to 99 percent according to studies. IV vitamin treatments allow the mixture of vitamins to bypass the gut and digestion and get directly into the blood.
Due to its almost instant effects and numerous health benefits, IV vitamin therapies are taking the world of celebrities by storm. Chrissy Teigen, Kendall Jenner, Gwyneth Paltrow, Adele, and many more swear by the benefits of IV vitamin treatments and are happy to show the world how beautiful they are even with a needle stuck in their arm. Because IV vitamin therapy works. And it has worked for decades. However, it was never as mainstream as it is today. The innovative team at White Lotus, is proud to bring you this fantastic treatment, that’s sure to have benefits for everyone.
IV vitamin therapy started as a mix of vitamins C and B, calcium, and magnesium, administrated to patients through an IV. The pioneer of IV vitamin therapy was Dr. John Myers, a Baltimore physician who administered vitamin mixtures to patients who suffered from low energy levels and a weakened immune system. Even today, numerous clinics offer patients the possibility of benefiting from what is known as a Myers’ cocktail. Nevertheless, the Myers’ cocktail is not the only vitamin mixture you can benefit from. There are numerous other vitamin infusions available to help you treat different medical conditions and improve your overall well-being.
However, most patients choose IV vitamin therapy because it:
Cures Hangovers
One of the most popular reasons people choose IV vitamin therapy is because it is an effective hangover cure. Following a 45-minute IV vitamin drip, you’re as good as new. Due to its restorative ingredients, the hangover blend can help patients get rid of headaches, nausea, and brain fog caused by excessive drinking. Many people choose to enhance their IV vitamin drip with anti-inflammatory or anti-nausea medication and start feeling relief only one hour after their treatment.
The cocktail usually includes a mix of B vitamins, electrolytes, and amino acids. While amino acids help the liver to process alcohol faster and more efficiently, electrolytes help with the hydration of the body and replace the salt and potassium lost because of alcohol consumption. IV vitamin infusions restore mental clarity and electrolyte balance and allow you to get back to your day as usual.
Increases Physical Performance
Many athletes resort to IV vitamin therapy before important events, like marathons or other sporting competitions, for an increased intake of nutrients and energy boost. The vitamin infusions contain various vitamins and minerals to help increase energy levels. An IV vitamin drip may include B vitamins, amino acids, ascorbic acids, and glutathione, but the ingredients vary depending on the patient’s needs, age, health, etc.
Since the vitamin treatment can be customized, many patients will instantly feel a boost of energy and no need for other energy enhancers, such as coffee, soda, or energy drinks. Moreover, vitamin cocktails contribute to faster muscle recovery after effort, help with muscle soreness and fatigue, alleviate post-workout pain, and flush out free radicals naturally produced by exercise. Add some coconut water to the mix for extra potassium, and you can significantly help your tired muscles to recover and feel rejuvenated.
Combats Aging &
Enhances Beauty
IV vitamin therapy comes with age-management benefits and promotes accentuated beauty. Vitamin cocktails prepared with this goal in mind include antioxidants known for their anti-aging benefits. Since they are delivered directly to the body, the antioxidants work fast and combat free radicals that cause cell aging and tissue damage to the human body. The right blend of vitamins can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and mend the damages caused by UV rays.
Moreover, a cocktail of B vitamins targets hair and nail health, while vitamin C brings back the glow to your skin and boosts collagen production for a youthful and radiant look. Glutathione is often present in vitamin infusions due to its power to fight oxidative stress and aging. One of the side effects of anti-aging IV vitamin therapy is improved eyesight due to the abundance of nutrients and vitamins delivered to the body.
The IV vitamin therapy infusion can be combined with other treatments to complement its beautifying effects. Visit White Lotus Aesthetics & Wellness and discuss what areas you’d like to target. Our team would be happy to create a personalized plan for you, combining multiple services for optimal results.
Boost The Immune System
IV nutrition contributes directly to a stronger immune system and the body’s capacity to fight infection. Vitamin therapy helps patients to prevent illnesses and get better protection against flu viruses. Vitamin C is known for its power to strengthen the immune system and fight stress, while the vitamin B12, according to Harvard Health, promotes cellular repair and contributes to healthy blood and nervous system function.
Some people add zinc to their vitamin cocktail for an extra ally against illness and anything else that might want to compromise their immune system. The vitamin treatment can be enriched with different other vitamins and nutrients meant to help with certain health conditions related to nutrient deficiencies, like celiac disease, colon cancer, Crohn’s disease, or short bowel syndrome.
Promotes Weightloss
IV vitamin therapy can be successfully included in a weight loss program. The treatment can be personalized according to the patient’s needs. It can include a blend of vitamins, fluids, and fat-burning compounds that can help the body burn fat naturally at a higher rate than usual. While it is true that a vitamin drip on its own will not be enough to help you lose weight, it will certainly speed up the process and help you feel more energized even if you are on a low-calorie diet.
Usually, IV vitamin cocktails include key supplements like carnitine and alpha-lipoic acid meant to help with the weight loss process in a natural and healthy way. While carnitine turns fat into fuel, alpha-lipoic acid is a powerful antioxidant that can boost metabolism, eliminate toxins, and prevent inflammation. The medical professional administering the vitamin drip can also add vitamin A to the blend, for brain, skin, muscle, and heart health, as well as B vitamins for an energy boost.
Clearly, IV Vitamin Therapy infusions can have a lot of uses and remedy multiple maladies. Come visit us at White Lotus where you can consult with our team of professionals to determine the right infusion for you.
What Is a Myers' Cocktail IV?
A Myers' cocktail is an increasingly popular intravenous therapy. The late John Myers, MD, was the first to introduce this vitamin and mineral treatment. He designed this formula to potentially treat several clinical conditions including fatigue, fibromyalgia, metabolism, muscle spasms, and many more.
Q: What Ingredients are Included in a Myer's Cocktail?
A: The standard Myer's Cocktail Includes:
-
Vitamins: Vitamin C, B-Complex vitamins, Vitamin B12
-
Calcium: Calcium aids bone formation and strength. It also can help control irregular heartbeats.
-
Magnesium: Generally stored in bones, muscles, and soft tissues. It has been found to reduce fatigue, migraines, muscle spasms and may even help those at risk of cardiovascular diseases.
-
Zinc: Zinc has been proven to help regulate the immune system. Zinc is not naturally created in the body. Deficiency of zinc can lead to subsequent health issues.
-
Glutathione: Glutathione is a potent antioxidant that naturally occurs in the body. Glutathione aids the immune system and has been found to help in the prevention of cancer, cystic fibrosis, HIV, and the normal aging process.
-
Saline Solution: All ingredients for the Myers’ cocktail are combined in an IV bag usually consisting of normal saline.
Q: Who Needs a Myer's Cocktail?
A: When asked who should consider a Myers' cocktail infusion, there is no single answer. Because of the high dose of antioxidants, nutrients, and other immune-boosting factors, individuals who have weakened immune systems or diseases that negatively impact immune resilience may benefit from receiving a Myers' cocktail IV treatment. Studies have found the Myers' cocktail may be benefit patients who:
-
Suffer from low energy
-
Perform athletic exercises
-
Suffer from chronic fatigue
-
Require intravenous hydration
-
Seek relief from hangover or withdrawal symptoms2
-
Suffer from depression or anxiety
According to Myers' cocktail studies and reviews, since the cocktails are made of vitamins and minerals, they tend to be well tolerated by many patients. Since treatment is administered intravenously vs. passing the digestive system, higher concentrations of the vitamins are more easily absorbed and thus bioavailable to the body. Safety Information and Possible Side Effects
A Myers’ cocktail may have relatively mild side effects. These typically are the same as with any IV:
-
Discomfort at infusion site
-
Lightheadedness
-
Vasovagal reaction (fainting)
A common effect from intravenous doses of magnesium is a warming or "flushing" sensation. It can be felt on the skin in the chest area, pelvic area, or face. It is not usually something that is unpleasant for the patient. Calcium has also been known to have similar effects in some cases. Since magnesium may effectively lower blood pressure, there may be a risk for hypotension or low blood pressure, but this is rare. Patients who experience any sensations that feel abnormal should inform the healthcare practitioner who is administering their IV—feeling excessively hot or lightheaded could indicate the onset of hypotension. It could be that the magnesium is being infused too quickly.
If the patient experiences these symptoms, the practitioner should discontinue treatment until symptoms dissipate. Usually, this takes 10-30 seconds. Responses vary between IV recipients. For the first time treatment, a prescriber may only administer a dose of 500-1,000 mg of magnesium before deciding to give a higher dose; this is especially recommended for elderly patients. Reactions usually tend to show within the first 10-30 seconds of treatment. After the patient shows they accept the treatment well, the practitioner can adjust the treatment as needed.
Combining magnesium and potassium may also cause some individuals issues since magnesium can promote an intracellular uptake of potassium. This uptake can trigger hypokalemia and cramping up to several hours after infusion. There is also a minimal risk of digoxin-induced cardiac arrhythmias. If giving thiamine in the Myers’ cocktail infusion, there is also a slight risk for arrhythmias in some patients. Again, this is not common and usually stems from its combination with magnesium.
It should also be noted that anytime the body has excess vitamins, it naturally increases excretion. Patients on dialysis or who have kidney issues may not need the same amount of vitamins than a person with healthy kidneys. A patient's healthcare provider should modify treatment accordingly.
