The Myers' Cocktail is the most popular IV drip, invented by Dr. John Myers in the 1970s. Contains magnesium, calcium, B5, B6, B12, B-complex, and vitamin C. Marketed for energy, immune support, migraines, and general wellness. Cost: typically $175–$275. Worth it: if you're frequently fatigued, recovering from illness, or want a one-time "reset." Less worth it as routine monthly maintenance if you have no deficiencies and a decent diet.

Patients with congestive heart failure, severe kidney disease, or significant electrolyte disorders should avoid IV therapy without medical clearance. NAD+ specifically should be avoided in pregnancy, certain cancers, and severe heart disease. High-dose vitamin C is contraindicated in G6PD deficiency. Anyone with bleeding disorders or severe vein issues should disclose this. A Cambridge med spa nurse should review your medical history before any first-time IV session.

Standard IV drips (Myers' Cocktail, hydration, vitamin C, immunity) typically run $150–$300 per session in the US. Premium formulations with glutathione, B12 boosters, or beauty add-ins run $250–$400. NAD+ infusions are the premium tier at $500–$1,000+ per session due to the cost of the NAD+ itself. Most med spas offer membership pricing, typically $99–$199/month for monthly drips with discounted add-ons. B12 injections (the IM shot, not IV) are much cheaper at $25–$50.

Honest answer: depends what you're using it for. **Strong evidence**: IV hydration genuinely treats dehydration faster than oral intake; IV iron, B12, and high-dose vitamin C have clear medical applications. **Weaker evidence** for wellness IVs in healthy people. Most healthy adults don't have nutrient deficiencies that an IV would correct. The energy/wellness benefits many people report are partly the placebo of taking 45 minutes for self-care plus the immediate effect of hydration. NAD+ has growing but still early research support for cellular energy and anti-aging. Bottom line: helpful for specific situations (hangover, post-workout, post-flight, illness recovery); less validated as routine maintenance.

The Myers' Cocktail is the most popular IV drip formula, invented by Dr. John Myers in the 1970s. Standard formulation: magnesium, calcium, vitamins B5, B6, B12, B-complex, and vitamin C in a saline base. Marketed for: energy, immune support, fatigue, migraines, fibromyalgia, and general wellness. Takes 30–45 minutes. Typically $175–$275 at US med spas. It's the entry-level IV most patients try first.

NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme critical to cellular energy production that declines significantly with age. IV NAD+ supplementation is marketed for: anti-aging, cognitive clarity, addiction recovery, athletic recovery, and chronic fatigue. The research is genuinely promising for cellular aging benefits but still developing: much of the strongest data comes from animal studies. Patients report feeling more focused and energetic; some describe an immediate sense of well-being. Sessions take 2–4 hours (it's a slow infusion to prevent side effects). Cost: $500–$1,000+ per session, often done as a 5–10 session loading series.

Common: cold sensation during infusion, vitamin taste in the mouth (from B vitamins), mild flushing. Less common: nausea, headache, dizziness, bruising at injection site. NAD+ specifically can cause chest tightness, flushing, or muscle aches during the infusion. These resolve when the infusion rate is slowed. Rare but serious: vein irritation/phlebitis, infection at the IV site, allergic reaction. As with any injectable, the provider's experience matters significantly: choose med spas with licensed nurses and proper sterile technique.

Depends on your goals. **Acute use** (hangover, illness recovery, post-flight): single sessions as needed. **General wellness**: most patients do monthly maintenance. **Athletic recovery**: weekly during training; bi-weekly during off-season. **NAD+ for anti-aging**: typically a loading series of 5–10 sessions over 2–4 weeks, then monthly or quarterly maintenance. Many med spas offer monthly membership packages that work out to roughly $99–$199/month with discounted add-ons.

IV therapy delivers nutrients directly into the bloodstream at 100% absorption rate, bypassing digestion entirely. Oral vitamins have variable absorption, typically 10–50% depending on the nutrient, your gut health, and what you ate with them. For people with absorption issues (Crohn's, celiac, post-bariatric surgery) or specific deficiencies (B12 in vegetarians), IV is genuinely more effective. For most healthy adults with a decent diet, the practical difference is smaller than marketing suggests: oral vitamins work fine if you're not deficient.

Patients with congestive heart failure, severe kidney disease, or specific electrolyte disorders should avoid IV therapy without medical clearance: the fluid load and mineral content can be dangerous. NAD+ specifically should be avoided in pregnancy, certain cancers, and severe heart disease. Anyone with a history of severe vein issues, blood clotting disorders, or G6PD deficiency (relevant for high-dose vitamin C) should disclose this. A med spa nurse should review your medical history before any first-time IV session.
