I tried an IV of this at my llmd office. It was the one thing I've tried that gave me some energy without feeling more agitated. I even get agitated on b-vitamins. I'm thinking of trying the capsules because the iv cost me $120. Anyone tried it?

Although not cheap the liquid is a better value than capsules. The best source in my opinion is from Body Bio.
Hubby takes 1 tablespoon daily which means a 16 ounce bottle lasts for a month. Use the code DETOXX if the order is over $100 and get a 20% discount. Hubby has been having problems with ordering online so orders by phone. The site won't remember his passwords etc.
Hubby says it tastes like burnt motor oil but you get used to the taste.
You may have done the lipid exchange IV's which also include IV glutathione. It may be the combo which was so helpful or maybe the glutathione alone would work -- except that it is not real well absorbed orally. Hubby has not tried the newer formulations that have come out in the last 2 or 3 years.
We switched to a better brand of alpa lipoic acid and he doesn't need the daily IV glutathione we did for 2 or 3 years.

I have been getting weekly IVs (Phosphatidyl Choline and Glutathione together), and I'm also taking the PC orally. I'm taking the same liquid brand that Bea mentioned.
If it's too much to do the IV PC for financial reasons, trying this could be a great thing. You'd just have to see if you felt the same benefits.
The BodyBio liquid seems to be very high quality. I don't know anything about the capsules, but the BodyBio stuff I'm taking was what was prescribed by my doctor. Phosphatidyl Choline and Glutathione IVs are from the Patricia Kane protocol, and I believe that Patricia Kane is the one who developed this BodyBio liquid as well, so it's from the same mind, so to speak.
I agree Bea...the taste leaves a great deal to be desired, but I'm getting used to it. For me, it's the thickness that makes it difficult. I take other things that taste bad, but the thickness takes awhile to go down Posted by dogmom2 (Member # 23822) on :
It was just the pc that I tried, my llmd was concerned I couldn't handle both and wants me to try it with the glutathione push next. Thanks for letting me know about the liquid form, not cheap but sure more reasonable than the IVs!
Also thinking of trying the acetyl-glutathione someone on this board had mentioned instead of the iv.
thanks again for the replies.
