NAD+ vs. Myers' Cocktail: Which IV Drip Is Right for You?
Two of the IV drips people ask about most at Cell Fusion X in Jacksonville are the Myers' Cocktail and NAD+. They're both given by IV in our clinic, but they're built for different goals. Here's a plain-English comparison to help you walk into your consult with the right questions.
What is a Myers' Cocktail?
A Myers' Cocktail is a classic vitamin-and-mineral IV blend. Formulas usually combine IV fluids with nutrients such as vitamin C, B-complex vitamins and magnesium, and some versions add calcium or zinc. People often book it when they feel run down, dehydrated, or depleted after travel, a busy week or seasonal stress. The exact components are confirmed at your visit.
What is NAD+?
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every cell. It plays a central role in how cells turn food into usable energy. NAD+ IV therapy is popular with patients whose goals center on energy, mental clarity and healthy aging. NAD+ infusions are usually given slowly, so the visit can run longer than a standard vitamin drip. Your provider sets the dose and rate after your evaluation.
Side-by-side
| Myers' Cocktail | NAD+ IV | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Fluids + vitamins and minerals | A cellular coenzyme given by IV |
| Common goals | Hydration, everyday recovery, feeling run down | Energy, mental clarity, healthy-aging focus |
| Visit length | Typically shorter | Often longer (given slowly) |
| Dosing | Standard blend, adjusted by provider | Set by provider after evaluation |
Can I get both?
Some patients alternate between them or pair NAD+ with other services, such as our medical weight loss program. Whether that makes sense for you depends on your health history and goals. That's exactly what the consult is for.
Short on time?
Ask about our IV push options, which take about 10–15 minutes, or a quick vitamin shot. You can see all of our drips on the IV therapy and anti-aging & detox drips pages. IV infusions start at $75.
