Kim Kardashian has sparked fresh health concerns after revealing she takes around 35 supplements a day as part of her wellness routine.
The 45-year-old reality star made the admission during an appearance on Amy Poehler’s ‘Good Hang’ podcast, where she discussed her supplement schedule, bloodwork, and “pill fatigue.”
While Kardashian framed the routine as part of her disciplined approach to health, medical experts have warned that excessive supplement use can place strain on the liver and kidneys, even when the products are marketed as natural or beneficial.
Kim Kardashian Reveals 35-Supplement Routine
Kardashian said she spreads her supplements across the day and once tried to stop taking fish oil because she was tired of swallowing so many pills.
“I take, probably, 35 supplements a day,” Kardashian said. “I spread them out three times a day.”
She added that after stopping fish oil, her bloodwork showed enough of a difference that she decided to restart it. “I thought, okay, I can’t do this fish oil anymore. I have pill fatigue,” she said. “Then I got my bloodwork, and it was so evident that I stopped and I had to start again.”
Kardashian also joked that she would prefer a daily IV drip over swallowing large capsules. “The pills are just so big,” she said. “I wish there were an IV drip I could do every day, and I would just do it on my way to work.”
Experts Warn Supplements Are Not Risk-Free
Kardashian’s admission comes as doctors continue warning that heavy supplement use can carry risks.
A health source familiar with celebrity wellness programs said people often assume supplements are harmless because they are sold over the counter. But the body still has to process them. “The kidneys and liver still have to process every single pill,” the source said. “Even products promoted as healthy can become disastrous to the internal organs when taken in large amounts for years.”
Another insider said Kardashian appears careful about monitoring her body. But still showed concern and said, “Doctors increasingly warn that loading up on dozens of supplements daily can create long-term risks for internal organs, especially when multiple products are combined.”
Some medical reports have linked herbal and dietary supplements to liver injury, especially when users take high doses or combine several products without medical supervision.
Kardashian Family Uses Mobile Body Scans
Kardashian also described how she and members of the Kardashian-Jenner family track their health through body scans. She said she, her sisters, and Kris Jenner use a mobile DEXA scanning service that visits their gated community. The scan measures bone density and body composition.
Kardashian has also become increasingly vocal about preventative health checks in recent years.
On ‘The Kardashians’, she previously revealed that a full-body Prenuvo MRI scan detected a minor brain aneurysm that doctors later said had been there for years. “I did a Prenuvo scan, and they called me today, and they’re like, ‘Everything looks great. But you have an aneurysm in your brain,’” she said.
She later defended the scans on ‘Good Morning America’, saying health checks are useful if they help people catch issues early. “Health is wealth,” Kardashian said. “You just have to be careful with everything that you do.”
For Kardashian, the supplement routine appears to be part of a larger wellness system built around tracking, testing, and prevention. For critics, the 35-pill figure is exactly why extreme celebrity health routines can raise more questions than answers.
