Forget getting your vitamins from pills or even water. Now you can drip them straight into your veins.
More exhausted Americans are hitting private clinics for a pick-me-up by getting hooked up to a vitamin IV.
It's a fad fueled, in part, by a photo Rihanna tweeted last month. Prompting reports she enjoys the so-called "Party Girl Drip."
Other celebrities are reportedly on the liquid vitamin bandwagon too.
But it's not just celebs that are getting the vitamin drip. Music executive, Carmen Key, gets her drip at the Los Angeles Clinic one a week.Â
CARMEN KEY: Â "Instead of feeling like energized, you feel alive."
CECILIA VEGA: "So why not just eat a really big salad, pop a couple of vitamins and take a long nap?"
CARMEN KEY:Â "Yeah. That probably would do four percent of what this does."
The vitamin drip includes everything from Vitamins C and B to minerals like Zinc and Chromium.
DR. Karima Hirani says, "they may be suffering from chronic fatigue, they just might be rundown.  I have patients with depression and anxiety."
At $175 -Â $275 a session, it's not cheap and some critics call it extreme.
Others question whether it actually offers anything nutritious food or traditional vitamins can't.
Despite skepticism many swear by it. Which may be why so many people now say they don't mind getting stuck for the vitamin fix.
