Which Product is Right for Me?

Which Product is Right for Me?
As a relates to intravenous vitamin C therapy, many people want to know what type of vitamin C therapy in general, and which formulation of IVtoGo is the better option for their case. This is a short exposition on the two products and the advantages of each, in the context of what you may be dealing with.

Firstly, the original IVtoGo therapy is a very versatile therapy closely modeled off of a 25 g IV vitamin C cocktail. Essentially, it is designed for everything except cancer. (For cancer, see "C-Max", below.) As with most quality 25 g IVs, it contains glutathione and several B vitamins in addition to the vitamin C for reasons of their synergy with vitamin C and their ability to help it work better. The IVtoGo therapy is extremely effective for detoxification, battling acute infections such as pneumonia coronavirus etc., and is an excellent immune system normalizer and strengthener. As liposomes of this type achieve excellent uptake into the lungs, it has shown outstanding anecdotal effect in upper respiratory infections. Therefore it’s a very versatile therapy - just as IV infusions at the 25 g level are. The IV therapy upon which IVtoGo is modeled is given in naturopathic clinics worldwide, due to this extreme versatility.

C-Max max therapy works quite differently to IVtoGo, in spite of the fact that it also contains high-dose vitamin C.  This difference hinges on vitamin K3. Vitamin K3, also known as menadione, works oxidatively. This is extremely important for cancer.  Typical IV vitamin C infusions given for cancer must contain 50 g of vitamin C or more precisely because the goal is to achieve oxidative effect.  (Vitamin C can act oxidatively through the formation of hydrogen peroxide, but only at extremely high doses.) One of the many advantages of C-Max is that a more modest, gentler dose of vitamin C can achieve oxidative therapy because of the presence of vitamin K3. The other additional compound in C-Max besides vitamin K3 is alpha lipoic acid.  Lipoic acid, together with vitamin K3, have been shown to greatly enhance vitamin C‘s cancer killing capabilities, and, as a very important secondary benefit, the three compounds make cancer cells far more visible to the immune system. In summary, C-Max is a cancer specific therapy that works very differently from IVtoGo.

Whatever your particular health challenge, there’s a strong likelihood that it can be effectively addressed, to at least a significant degree, by the inclusion of either IVtoGo or C-Max in your ongoing strategy. While they both contain vitamin C, it’s crucial to understand the differences between the two; but it’s quite simple: for all cancer types, C max is a bespoke therapy, highly potent, and unique in the oral supplement market. For most other health challenges IVtoGo is the preferred option, thanks to its antioxidant, detoxifying, and infection-attacking profile.

Thank you for stopping by IVtoGo. If you have any questions about your therapy needs, don't hesitate to let us know; we are here to help.

Purity First

Purity First

Have you ever stopped to ask where your vitamins come from? How pure they actually are?

This question is relevant to all vitamins, but especially to liposomes, which have a phenomenally high rate of absorption and, if impure, can do significant damage to bodily systems. For example, if liposomal vitamin inputs contain heavy metals, those metals will be deposited into the cells and mitochondria - the very parts of the body where chronic illness sufferers need the most help. (If the liposomal vitamins are true liposomes, are pure, and are of quality manufacture, the maximum benefit will be achieved.)

Case in point: over 90% of commercial vitamin C, including that delivered in IV clinics, comes from China. China supplement manufacture, ironically, takes place in areas that are among the most polluted in the world. What’s more, there are no rules requiring the country of origin be specified on retail supplements.

In fact, Chinese manufacturers have repeatedly been reprimanded by the FDA due to prevelence of heavy metal content in their vitamins sold on the American market. Therefore, consumers who are unaware of the origins of their vitamins stand a great chance of ingesting toxins that will actually degrade their health and well-being.

IVtoGo's Uncompromising Quality Standards:

The IVtoGo team's purity philosophy was borne out of unfortunate experience. While in the midst of intensive treatment for an illness, one of our team members was tested for heavy metals. The results were astounding. He had the highest amount of lead in his system of any patient tested over the 11-years of the clinic's existence. One supplement he had been taking, which was from China, was brought into an environmental lab for testing. It contained astronomical lead levels. Six months of chelation and detoxification protocols were required to reduce the lead levels to a point where he could return to work.

IVtoGo's vitamin therapies specifically designed to eliminate this risk. They are manufactured in the USA at cGMP certified facilities, which means the process and facilities are inspected by the FDA to ensure that sanitation, documentation, and batch records meet the highest standards.  As for ingredients, they are sourced from the European Union, America, and Japan, including the reputable Setria brand Glutathione.

All ingredients are then double tested for Lead, Cadmium, Mercury, and Arsenic - both before and after bottling. Additional tests ensure each batch is free of all pathogenic agents.

These measures far surpass what is necessary. But they that the highest quality ingredients go into our products, and rigorous pharmaceutical standards are maintained throughout the production process.

Free of Unwanted Additives:

IVtoGo and C-Max are formulated to be free of sugar, soy, solvents, and alcohol. Solvents such as ethanol are actually common practice in the liposome industry. We recognize the importance of avoiding these substances so as to maintain the integrity and purity of the delivery system, and maximize health outcomes for our customers.

Pharmaceutical Grade Glass Bottling:

Packaging is often an afterthought, but the truth is that pthalates and plasticizers can leech into supplements and disrupt crucial hormonal pathways in the body, and degrade the entire endocrine system. Thus, IVtoGo is bottled in clean pharmaceutical glass to prevent this. IV bags and drip lines, for their part, are invariably made of highly unstable plastics - a risk that is mitigated through the use of highly stable glassware.

Thorough Testing Procedures:

Unlike vitamins originating in countries such as China, IVtoGo products undergo thorough testing to ensure they meet cGMP standards, which provide an objective, measurable standard so that the consumer can be confident in the production and documentation standards of producers. Accordingly, as alluded to above, IVtoGo products are tested for the presence of lead, arsenic, cadmium, and all common pathogenic agents. Additionally, they are double-tested for vitamin identity, both before and after production of each run, to ensure the exact therapy advertised is the same therapy delivered with each dose.

No Ethanol in Liposome Formation:

IVtoGo leverages pure and natural liposome formation technology. They are structured purely in that they they don't require the use of ethanol in the formation process. This not only ensures a more stable and absorbable vitamin; it also eliminates a key toxicity concern from the product profile.

100% Non-GMO and Pleasing Taste:

Philosophically, IVtoGo believes human health is not achievable through genetic modification. Thus, all the ingredients used in IVtoGo and C-Max are 100% non-GMO. They also offer a pleasing taste, making it easy for individuals to incorporate them into their daily routines and therapy regimens.

In Sum:

Perhaps this blog post will convince the reader that investing in a health therapy must always also mean verifying that no harm will be done by the therapy itself - and that this is even more true in the case of liposomes. Regardless IVtoGo stands ready with products wherein purity will always come first, and with no exceptions.
