“Drinking collagen is just another marketing scam right?”

Collagen is a protein, which is a darn big molecule. In order to be carried to the places it’s needed in the body, it needs to be broken down into aminoacids. This happens to every protein, regardless of which one or how one consumes them. There is no tag that says “this came from collagen to be used on the skin”, it’ll be consumed as needed anywhere in the body. A diet with adequate protein and water intake will do exactly the same thing. Spend your money on that instead.”

IV Hydration

Instead of sipping your daily water intake, you opt for a more extravagant experience. You sit back, let a nurse work their magic, and soon you’re feeling as refreshed as a cactus in a desert rainstorm. Some swear by it, claiming it’s the express route to instant revitalization and energy that could rival a lightning bolt. Some say it’s a miracle, while others can’t help but wonder if it’s a plot twist in a sci-fi movie. So, before you go full IV party mode, consult with the experts and maybe rehearse your “I’m just hydrating, not auditioning for a space mission” explanation. Stay grounded, folks – it’s just water, not rocket fuel!

“What’s going on with influencers getting IV drips?”

“What’s going on with all the celebrities and influencers going to clinics to be drip-fed vitamins and nutrients from a bag intravenously into their arms? I’m very out of the loop on this one as I thought you would only need a drip when in hospital, in care or after surgery (i.e. when you can’t take in nutrients by other means)? What is the benefit of these drips over just eating or drinking something healthy? These clinics have very flashy Instagram pages advertising all sorts of vitamin drips from ‘stopping hair loss’ to ‘getting your 5-a-day’. What’s the deal?”
