Nobody​ ​likes​ ​needles.​ ​So​ ​would​ ​you​ ​believe​ ​people​ ​are​ ​rolling​ ​up​ ​their sleeves​ ​to​ ​receive​ ​high-dose​ ​vitamin​ ​infusions​ ​into​ ​their​ ​veins—by​ ​choice? Celebs​ ​including​ ​Rihanna,​ ​Rita​ ​Ora,​ ​Simon​ ​Cowell,​ ​and​ ​Madonna​ ​are reportedly​ ​fans.​ ​But​ ​the​ ​fad​ ​isn’t​ ​limited​ ​to​ ​Hollywood​ ​alone.​ ​Companies such​ ​as​ ​VitaSquad​​ ​in​ ​Miami​ ​and​ ​The​ ​I.V.​ ​Doctor​​ ​in​ ​New​ ​York​ ​offer​ ​vitamin drips​ ​to​ ​anyone.​ ​Some​ ​even​ ​do​ ​it​ ​in​ ​your​ ​own​ ​home.

For​ ​an​ ​infusion,​ ​vitamins​ ​are​ ​added​ ​to​ ​a​ ​solution​ ​containing​ ​the​ ​same​ ​salt concentration​ ​as​ ​your​ ​blood​ ​to​ ​aid​ ​absorption​ ​and​ ​take​ ​about​ ​20​ ​to​ ​30 minutes.​ ​Infusions​ ​are​ ​relatively​ ​painless.​ ​With​ ​Loveland​ ​Medical​ ​Clinic, clients​ ​choose​ ​from​ ​a​ ​menu​ ​of​ ​options,​ ​each​ ​containing​ ​a​ ​different combination​ ​of​ ​vitamins​ ​depending​ ​on​ ​why​ ​you’re​ ​receiving​ ​it.​ ​Options include:​ ​boosting​ ​immunity,​ ​curing​ ​a​ ​hangover,​ ​improving​ ​sexual​ ​function, fat​ ​burning,​ ​de-stressing,​ ​overcoming​ ​jet​ ​lag,​ ​and​ ​more.​ ​Infusions​ ​pricing ranges​ ​from​ ​$99​ ​to​ ​$175.

But,​ ​is​ ​a​ ​prick​ ​worth​ ​opening​ ​your​ ​wallet​ ​for?​ ​“Although​ ​there​ ​haven’t​ ​been any​ ​randomized​ ​controlled​ ​studies,​ ​people​ ​notice​ ​an​ ​immediate​ ​dramatic effect​ ​after​ ​receiving​ ​an​ ​infusion,”​ ​says​ ​Jesse​ ​Sandhu,​ ​M.D.,​ ​emergency medicine​ ​physician​ ​and​ ​medical​ ​director​ ​of​ ​VitaSquad.​ ​Not​ ​so​ ​fast,​ ​though. “The​ ​mistake​ ​is​ ​assuming​ ​something​ ​that​ ​feels​ ​good​ ​in​ ​the​ ​short​ ​term​ ​is necessarily​ ​good​ ​for​ ​you​ ​in​ ​the​ ​long​ ​term,”​ ​says​ ​David​ ​Katz,​ ​M.D.,​ ​clinical instructor​ ​in​ ​medicine​ ​at​ ​Yale​ ​School​ ​of​ ​Public​ ​Health.​ ​Simply​ ​put,​ ​there’s not​ ​enough​ ​scientific​ ​evidence​ ​to​ ​suggest​ ​it’s​ ​beneficial,​ ​safe,​ ​or​ ​healthy. There’s​ ​no​ ​question​ ​that​ ​patients​ ​experience​ ​an​ ​immediate​ ​pick-me-up, Katz​ ​reiterates,​ ​but​ ​that​ ​may​ ​be​ ​due​ ​to​ ​a​ ​placebo​ ​effect​ ​plus​ ​increased blood​ ​flow​ ​and​ ​increased​ ​blood​ ​volume​ ​from​ ​the​ ​liquids—especially​ ​if​ ​you were​ ​dehydrated​ ​beforehand. Katz’s​ ​major​ ​concern:​ ​Infusing​ ​vitamins​ ​through​ ​your​ ​veins​ ​bypasses​ ​your G.I.​ ​system.​ ​This​ ​happens​ ​to​ ​be​ ​the​ ​exact​ ​reason​ ​proponents​ ​of​ ​the infusions​ ​love​ ​it.​ ​“With​ ​vitamin​ ​C,​ ​for​ ​example,​ ​it’s​ ​immediately​ ​available for​ ​cellular​ ​use​ ​when​ ​you​ ​infuse​ ​it​ ​directly​ ​into​ ​the​ ​veins.​ ​But​ ​the​ ​same amount​ ​would​ ​cause​ ​G.I.​ ​upset​ ​if​ ​you​ ​tried​ ​to​ ​take​ ​it​ ​by​ ​mouth,”​ ​Sadhura says. Circumventing​ ​your​ ​digestive​ ​system,​ ​however,​ ​could​ ​put​ ​you​ ​at​ ​risk.​ ​That’s because​ ​your​ ​digestive​ ​tract​ ​has​ ​several​ ​layers​ ​of​ ​defense—from antibodies​ ​in​ ​your​ ​saliva​ ​to​ ​your​ ​liver—​ ​that​ ​filter​ ​out​ ​potentially​ ​harmful molecules​ ​that​ ​could​ ​cause​ ​an​ ​allergic​ ​reaction,​ ​Katz​ ​says.​ ​“You​ ​bypass those​ ​safeguards​ ​when​ ​you​ ​inject​ ​something​ ​directly​ ​into​ ​your bloodstream.”​ ​Katz​ ​is​ ​also​ ​concerned​ ​by​ ​the​ ​at-home​ ​approach:​ ​“The​ ​risk​ ​of infection​ ​goes​ ​up​ ​any​ ​time​ ​you​ ​take​ ​IV​ ​lines​ ​or​ ​any​ ​medical​ ​equipment outside​ ​of​ ​a​ ​standard​ ​healthcare​ ​setting,”​ ​he​ ​says.

Vitamin​ ​infusions​ ​aren’t​ ​entirely​ ​without​ ​their​ ​merits,​ ​however.​ ​Katz​ ​offers them,​ ​including​ ​what’s​ ​known​ ​as​ ​a​ ​Myers’​ ​cocktail—a​ ​combination​ ​of vitamin​ ​C,​ ​magnesium,​ ​calcium,​ ​and​ ​B​ ​vitamins—in​ ​his​ ​office​ ​and​ ​has​ ​seen benefits​ ​in​ ​patients​ ​with​ ​fibromyalgia,​ ​chronic​ ​fatigue​ ​syndrome,​ ​and malabsorption​ ​issues.​ ​“We​ ​don’t​ ​know​ ​the​ ​mechanism,​ ​but​ ​the​ ​effect​ ​may have​ ​something​ ​to​ ​do​ ​with​ ​improved​ ​circulation​ ​helping​ ​to​ ​relieve​ ​pain​ ​and get​ ​people​ ​nutrients​ ​that​ ​aren’t​ ​being​ ​absorbed​ ​through​ ​their​ ​digestive tract,”​ ​he​ ​says. But​ ​for​ ​a​ ​healthy​ ​individual​ ​looking​ ​for​ ​an​ ​extra​ ​boost?​ ​At​ ​best,​ ​Katz​ ​says infusions​ ​are​ ​no​ ​more​ ​than​ ​a​ ​short-lived​ ​quick​ ​fix.​ ​“If​ ​you​ ​need​ ​to​ ​feel​ ​better, identify​ ​why​ ​you’re​ ​not​ ​feeling​ ​well,​ ​whether​ ​it’s​ ​poor​ ​diet,​ ​not​ ​enough exercise,​ ​too​ ​much​ ​alcohol,​ ​dehydration,​ ​lack​ ​of​ ​sleep,​ ​or​ ​too​ ​much​ ​stress, and​ ​address​ ​it​ ​at​ ​its​ ​origins​ ​in​ ​order​ ​to​ ​experience​ ​a​ ​long-lasting​ ​meaningful benefit,”​ ​he​ ​says.

This happens to be the exact reason proponents of the. infusions love it. “With vitamin C, for example, it's immediately available. for cellular use when you infuse it directly into the veins.
