Intravenous Micronutrient Therapy (IVMT)

In the late 1970's, Dr. John Meyer of Baltimore, Maryland developed an intravenous solution for patients and athletes recovering from a variety of illnesses and injury. The "Meyer's Cocktail" as it came to be known consists of vitamins, minerals and a powerful scavenger of free radicals known as Glutathione. Vitamins taken orally are first passed through the liver which prevents the development of higher concentrations necessary to optimize healing and recovery. Administering optimal micronutrients intravenously for recovery purposes is essential to restore the patient or athlete to previous levels or health and vitality.

Is IVMT safe?
IVMT has been around the alternative medicine circles since the 1960s.  IVMT has been used safely in professional athletes and patients for many years. The formulation is pH balanced and formulated using components that are individually formulated for intravenous use. Vitamins, minerals and Glutathione are necessary micronutrients to the human body and so allergy is not a concern. There is a small risk of thrombosis at the intravenous site similar to that encountered with any IV catheter. The risk of infection is also similarly small, however the IV is started by either a registered nurse or an emergency trained physician.
