The Wingman
NAC · B-complex · B1
N-acetylcysteine (NAC) supplies cysteine for glutathione production. Glutathione is a central intracellular antioxidant used in the liver's normal defense against oxidative stress and in detoxification pathways; IV acetylcysteine's established medical use in acetaminophen toxicity relies on this glutathione-repletion mechanism.

Electrolytes · Magnesium · B vitamins
Isotonic IV fluids replace water and electrolytes when an IV route is appropriate. Magnesium supports normal muscle and nerve function.
The 110%
B-complex · B12 · Magnesium · Amino acids · Vitamin C
Vitamin C, B12, magnesium, and amino acids have established physiologic roles in energy metabolism, muscle function, and tissue maintenance.
The Off Switch
Magnesium · Ketorolac · Metoclopramide
Ketorolac and metoclopramide are used in acute-care settings, and randomized studies have evaluated metoclopramide, ketorolac, and magnesium for acute migraine with mixed comparative results.
The Finish Line
Arginine · Carnitine · Lysine · Proline · Magnesium · B vitamins
Amino acids are protein building blocks, and magnesium and B vitamins support normal muscle, nerve, and energy metabolism.
The Long Game
NAD+ · Magnesium · B vitamins
NAD+ is an essential cellular coenzyme. A small human pilot described IV NAD+ metabolism and short-term tolerability.
The Reset
IV fluids · Nausea support · Anti-inflammatory support
IV fluid, ondansetron, and ketorolac each have established uses in defined clinical settings and may provide short-term symptom support when appropriately selected.
Myers' Cocktail
Vitamin C · B vitamins · Magnesium · Calcium
A small placebo-controlled pilot showed that a Myers-type infusion was feasible, but both the micronutrient and Lactated Ringer’s groups improved.
The Shield
Vitamin C · Zinc · B vitamins
Vitamin C and zinc are required for normal immune function, while B vitamins participate in normal energy metabolism. Replacing a documented deficiency is evidence-based.
Blood Booster
B12 · Folate · Trace minerals
B12 and folate deficiencies can impair red-blood-cell production. Identifying and correcting the actual deficiency is the evidence-based approach.
Basic Hydration
1,000 mL normal saline or Lactated Ringer's
Normal saline and Lactated Ringer’s are established IV fluids for replacing water and electrolytes when clinically appropriate.
Glutathione Infusion
1,000 mg · $245 / 2,000 mg · $295
Glutathione is a naturally occurring antioxidant. Human studies show that supplementation can change glutathione status, but route and population matter.
