KIM Kardashian enlisted the help of a nurse to prepare for last week’s Met Gala.

Hours before slipping into a futuristic Balmain gown for the annual high-fashion fete, the reality star, 35, hired The I.V. Doc to intravenously hydrate her in the privacy of her NYC home.

“She wanted to have a glow for the red carpet,” a source told Page Six. “So she ordered a treatment with plenty of vitamins along with the fluids and electrolytes.”

Kardashian likely chose the “Beautify” treatment, which includes a cocktail of B vitamins and anti-inflammatory medication to rejuvenate the hair and skin and costs $399.

A spokesman for The I.V. Doc declined to comment on whether Kardashian used the service, citing the HIPAA Privacy Rule for health care professionals, but the company’s website describes itself as a “discrete luxury service” that provides an “energising, 30-minute, intravenous hydration therapy” used to treat “hangover, flu, jet lag, exercise fatigue, food poisoning, and general exhaustion.”

Kardashian’s husband, Kanye West, didn’t partake in the hydration technique and according to the source, the mother of two wasn’t interested in small talk ahead of Anna Wintour’s glittering soiree.

“Kim wouldn’t even make eye contact with the nurse administering her the I.V.,” explained the source. “Any conversation and instructions were directed through an assistant.”

A rep for the E! star denied she received the treatment.
