Myer's Basic Nutrient Cocktail: Developed by John Myers, the first IV vitamin treatments were administered in Baltimore in the 1970s. There are many variations, but the basic ingredients consist of high doses of B vitamins, vitamin C, and minerals (magnesium and calcium) mixed with normal saline.

Get up & Go: Designed to give you an all-around boost, this IV contains B vitamins, amino acids, L-carnitine for energy, and glutathione.

Methylene Blue: Mitochondrial dysfunction has been linked to a variety of disorders. This cocktail is used to increase the O2 carrying capacity of cells while simultaneously "charging" the mitochondria.MB was the very first FDA-approved drug! Originally used for malaria, it has a wide variety of benefits, including being antimicrobial. In this context, we are using it to enhance cellular respiration and improve mitochondrial function. MB is a metabolic enhancer and an antioxidant. Methylene Blue binds to superoxide and reduces it to water. By acting as an electron donor to the mitochondria, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production is increased. ATP is the currency of life and the energy that powers humans. Learn More.

Phosphatidylcholine (PTC), is a type of lipid found in every cell in the body. It serves as the primary component of cell membranes. The cell membrane is what allows the transfer of nutrients and energy into and out of the cell. Poor cell membrane health has been associated with many chronic illnesses, including liver disease, autoimmune disease, mood disorders, migraines, and neurodegenerative disorders such as MS, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, dementia, and memory loss.

IV therapy delivers nutrients directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system. This ensures higher bioavailability, meaning your body absorbs more of the nutrients compared to oral supplements, which can lose potency during digestion.

IV therapy is generally safe for most individuals, but it’s important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting. At Upgrade Medical, our providers assess your medical history and health conditions to determine the most suitable IV therapy for you.
