Getting a hefty cocktail of vitamins delivered straight into your body through an IV sounds healthybut is it?

That depends, saysMegan Rossi, Ph.D., AKA The Gut Health Doctor, in a June 2023Instagram reel.

“In truth, IV drips are actually nothing new.

And you don’t have to go to the hospital to get it.

Some may even come to your home to administer it.

In other words, too much of a good thing is still too much.

This can also apply to the cost of the infusion.

Then there’s the age-old question: Does it even work?

And it’s hard to find solid research on healthy people being infused with vitamins through an IV.

Bottom Line

We agree with Rossi.
