Editorial Policy
Editorial Guidelines
As a medical provider, we want you to trust us with your health. We also want to earn your trust in providing a reliable, non-biased source of medical information
Unbiased, Always
ASAP IVs selects IV therapy related topics to review based on consumer interest and requests. We don't engage in sponsored reviews, which is where a brand pays a publisher for a review. This allows our reporting to remain unbiased and focused on the facts.
We only recommend products if there is published medical research backing the efficacy of their formulation, and no toxic or sensitizing additive ingredients which pose a risk to human health.
Credentialed Medical Experts Behind All Content
All medically related content we publish is written or reviewed by credentialed medical experts. Our Team members consist of physicians and nurses who leverage their decades of training and experience to provide you with the most accurate health information.
Sources From Medical Research
Wherever possible, we cite clinical trials published in established medical journals in our articles to back up our position. Especially when evaluating health claims or formulation safety, our goal is to only provide definitive recommendations one way or another when there is medical data to back it up.
Preferential Linking To Free Versions Of Citations
We believe that published medical research should be free to access, and we recognize that most consumers don't have the disposable income or interest to purchase access to a medical journal.
That's why, whenever possible, we link to the free version of a medical source that we cite in our articles. If the same research exists in a free article in one journal and a paid article in another journal, we will always preferentially link to the free version.
Content Continually Refreshed
We aim to revise all content published previously to ensure it's still up-to-date and medically accurate. If any new information or research emerges about a topic we reviewed, we will update the article with the relevant new information.
Our editorial process involves reviewing all articles which were published a year or more in the past, and updating them to reflect any new information.
How We Qualify Trusted Sources
We want to provide you with non-biased medical information. As such, our process involves the use of the most trustworthy sources possible.
1) Medical Journal -- Scientific research published in a medical journal is the gold standard for research on health topics. We typically quote from medical journals with a peer-review process which reduces the bias of the data.
2) Educational Institution -- Many educational institutions like Harvard Medical School directly publish their own medical research, and this category of research is typically non-sponsored and thorough.
3) Government Research -- Governments often fund and publish independent research to advance basic science. This type of research is typically more general than that published by medical journals or educational institutions.
4) Independent Research Organization -- There exist organizations that conduct research on health topics, which are typically non-profit.
