Overview
Fatigue has many causes, including poor sleep, anaemia, thyroid disease, low mood and nutrient deficiency. The first step is finding the cause. An infusion is only useful when a correctable shortfall is part of the picture.
Magnesium and B vitamins are cofactors in energy metabolism. Magnesium is involved in hundreds of enzyme reactions, including those that make and use ATP, and B vitamins are needed for the citric acid cycle and related pathways. Low magnesium can cause fatigue, muscle cramps and weakness. A blood test can point to a deficiency, although serum magnesium does not always reflect the body's total stores.
This infusion is a Myers'-style formulation: an IV mix of magnesium, B vitamins and other nutrients associated with Dr John Myers and later described by Dr Alan Gaby. Our version can include magnesium (as magnesium chloride), a methylated B-complex (methylcobalamin and methylfolate) and amino acids such as taurine, L-carnitine and glycine, with doses adjusted to your blood results. The evidence for Myers'-style infusions is thin. The one placebo-controlled trial we know of (Ali A et al., Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, 2009), in 34 adults with fibromyalgia, found that both groups improved but there was no significant difference between the infusion and placebo.
Your physician may suggest this infusion for confirmed low magnesium or B-vitamin levels, poor absorption, or recovery after illness. It takes about 45 minutes. Any effect beyond placebo has not been shown. Book a consultation with our longevity physician to find the cause of your fatigue and decide whether this infusion has a role.
What the evidence says
Evidence · EmergingPlausible biology and early human data. We tell you what is and is not known. How we grade evidence
What it shows
Magnesium and B vitamins are needed for energy metabolism, and correcting a measured deficiency helps.
What it does not show
Without a deficiency there is no good evidence that an infusion improves energy or recovery. The placebo-controlled pilot of a Myers'-style infusion was negative.

Randomised trial in 34 people: both groups improved, with no significant difference between the infusion and placebo.
What it can and cannot do
What it can do
- Correct a measured magnesium or B-vitamin shortfall, in about 45 minutes.
What it cannot do
- Improve energy or recovery without a deficiency. The placebo-controlled pilot of a comparable infusion was negative.Source [1]
- Improve sports performance on current evidence. If you compete, check anti-doping rules on infusions first.
Numbers in brackets point to the studies above. Medical review: a physician who did not write this page checks each line against the source it cites, and checks that nothing reads as a promised result. How we review
Who it's for
A good fit
- Athletes with low magnesium after intense training, after physician review
- Adults with fatigue, once other causes have been checked
- Individuals with suboptimal magnesium or B-vitamin levels
- Post-illness recovery and convalescence
- People with conditions that limit absorption from the gut
Talk to us first
- Myasthenia gravis (magnesium may worsen muscle weakness)
- Severe kidney impairment (magnesium clearance reduced)
- Known allergy to any amino acid or vitamin component
The markers that decide eligibility
This infusion makes sense when one of these is low. If none is, the money is better spent elsewhere.
Before your first session
- Tell us about myasthenia gravis, kidney problems or any vitamin or amino-acid allergy.
- It is given when blood results show a magnesium or B-vitamin shortfall, so those results come first.
- If you compete, check anti-doping rules on IV infusions before booking.
- Time to allow: 45 minutes.
Your physician confirms at screening whether this is right for you. If anything above applies, tell us when you book.
What happens on the day
- 01
Screening
History, current medicines and vitals are checked. Relevant blood work is reviewed before your first infusion.
- 02
Prescription
The physician confirms the formulation and rate. Nothing is mixed until it is prescribed for you.
- 03
The infusion
A cannula is placed by our medical team and the infusion runs at a controlled rate: 45 minutes.
- 04
Aftercare
Vitals are rechecked before you leave, and the next session is planned only if it is needed.
Equipment and method
- 01Magnesium chloride infusion (high-bioavailability form)
- 02Methylated B-complex (methylcobalamin, methylfolate)
- 03Amino acid blend (taurine, L-carnitine, glycine)
- 04Myers'-style formulation adjusted to your blood results
Physician oversight
Dr. Asritha, MD Anaesthesia, leads the execution of all IV therapy and HBOT protocols, ensuring clinical-grade safety, dosing accuracy, and emergency preparedness for every session.
Meet the clinical teamQuestions people ask
How is this different from the NAD+ infusion?
NAD+ infusion takes 2-3 hours and is used for a different purpose, with early and limited human evidence. This infusion takes about 45 minutes and is aimed at correcting magnesium and B-vitamin shortfalls. Your physician will advise whether either has a role for you.
Will I feel different after an infusion?
We make no promise either way. In the one placebo-controlled trial of a Myers'-style infusion, people given placebo improved too, with no significant difference between the groups. If a measured deficiency is part of the picture, your physician discusses how to correct it, by mouth or by infusion.
Is this safe to do before a workout or competition?
It is generally safe after screening, but there is no good evidence that it improves performance or speeds recovery in people without a deficiency. If you compete, check anti-doping rules first: WADA restricts IV infusions of more than 100 mL in 12 hours outside hospital care and certain other settings.
