Apparently, the vitamin drip is “trending in Hollywood.†A photo tweeted last month by Rihanna with her arm hooked up to an I.V. drip has exacerbated reports that Hollywood’s latest health fad is “the party girl drip,†a cocktail of B and C vitamins and minerals like zinc and magnesium taken intravenously. ABC News reports that spas and private clinics are increasingly offering these drips as a way to boost energy or cure hangovers
Other A-list celebrities that have reportedly jumped on the liquid vitamin bandwagon include Simon Cowell, Cindy Crawford and Madonna.
The sessions, which can run $175 to $275, don’t offer anything that nutritious food or oral vitamins can’tâ€"except for immediacy.
“I.V. is pretty much instant gratification,†Dr. Kamau Kokavi said.
Fine, but: Rihanna did not invent the vitamin drip (like January Jones didn’t invent taking human placenta). Here are a few other famous Americans (including a U.S. president) who liked to hit the vitamins C and B-12 a little too hard.Â
