Myers & Glutathione IV Therapy
IV Therapy Using Myers & Glutathione
What benefits will I gain with IV therapy?
An orally ingested supplement takes time to go through your stomach, reach your small intestine, and then be absorbed into your bloodstream. By comparison, nutrients delivered intravenously (IV) go immediately into your bloodstream, where they’re quickly delivered to cells throughout your body that need the nutrition.
Oral supplements can run into any number of issues that prevent the full dose from making it into your bloodstream. For example, low stomach acid, inflammatory bowel disease, and a lack of digestive enzymes block nutrient absorption. Additionally, your small intestine can only absorb a limited amount of certain nutrients at one time. You don’t have those problems when you get IV therapy because the full dose goes straight to your bloodstream.
What nutrients will I receive during IV therapy?
At ReGen Pain & Wellness, Dr. Smigiel typically performs IV therapy using the Myers cocktail, which was developed by the doctor who created IV therapy. The Myers cocktail is designed to promote overall wellness by providing magnesium, calcium, vitamin C, and B vitamins, including vitamin B12. In some cases, patients may receive an IV formula that contains the specific vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants needed to target a specific health need.
What overall health benefits can I expect with IV therapy?
IV therapy helps many patients maintain wellness by filling in the gap when they don’t consume enough nutrients. This doesn’t necessarily mean your diet is unhealthy. It’s hard to meet the minimum daily requirement for some nutrients even when you eat a well-balanced diet. You’re especially at risk for deficiencies when you cut down on calories to lose weight.
When you’re sick, have a chronic disease, or exert yourself during intense athletic training, your body uses more nutrients than normal. As a result, you can quickly become deficient even when you eat well.
Beyond restoring nutrient deficiencies and boosting your overall energy, IV therapy may be part of your treatment for an existing medical condition.
The Myers cocktail helps treat conditions such as:
- Acute asthma attacks
- Migraines
- Fatigue
- Chronic fatigue syndrome
- Fibromyalgia
- Acute muscle spasms
- Upper respiratory tract infections
- Chronic sinusitis
- Seasonal allergies
- Cardiovascular disease
IV therapy often helps improve your athletic performance.

IV Infusion – Glutathione Therapy
Glutathione is known as the master antioxidant, a naturally occurring antioxidant produced by the human liver. It prevents damage due to free radicals, heavy metals, and other substances toxic to the body. Known as the body’s most important antioxidant, Glutathione can help fight off almost any disease – especially those that cause you to age faster than you should.
Glutathione donates electrons to quench free radicals, ultimately protecting cells from being destroyed. If glutathione is depleted in a cell, it will lead to cell death. Glutathione protects cells of many types, especially the skin, lens, retina, intestinal lining, and cornea. It is also a cofactor in many bodily processes and is the foundation for the main detoxification pathway in the liver, kidneys, lungs, intestinal lining, and other organs. Glutathione has been the subject of scientific research for many years. Studies have shown that levels of glutathione directly correspond to the health and function of cells.
As your body ages, it produces less Glutathione each year. In the form of injections, Glutathione can slow down the aging process and makes sure that your body has what it needs to fight off free radicals. Glutathione therapy is best for detoxing and cleansing vital organs, rejuvenating skin, hair and nails, and reversing the effects of aging. Intravenous Glutathione treatments have been proven to help patients with neurologic disorders like Parkinson’s Disease (Part two) and Autism (ASD autism spectrum disorder). Glutathione has the ability to reduce inflammation and ameliorate symptoms that cause several intestinal problems.
