VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. - When people are feeling sick, tired or have allergies they want a way to feel better fast. That's where the Myers' Cocktail comes in.

"You can come in, you'll get your energy right back immediately," said Ashley Giraldi, the manager of 344 Beauty Bar.

Originally named for a doctor in Maryland of the same name, it is a mix of vitamins and nutrients including vitamin C, B and more. It's delivered through IV to help people feel better in about 20 to 30 minutes.

After hearing about it while traveling, Hollie Lucas and Ivy Stephan, owners of 344 Beauty Bar decided to bring it to Hampton Roads. Marcus Holman, a photographer came in after feeling flu-like symptoms.

"I was a bit skeptical and the whole procedure took about 20, 30 minutes and I felt a difference for sure. I definitely felt better afterward. About 20 to 30 percent better," said Holman.

The business has been offering the procedure for more than a month.

"Since people have heard about it, it really has shot off. I think once most people hear about it, they're like oh I want to try that. I really need to get in for that," said Giraldi.

But is it safe? News 3 spoke with a nurse practitioner.

"It is safe. It's mainly just nutrients,  some that your body naturally makes, but you can get higher dosage through IV therapy," said Amber Malally.

344 Beauty Bar currently offers the Myers' Cocktail for $99.
