What is Liposomal Vitamin C?
Liposomal Vitamin C by Quicksilver Scientific is a liquid vitamin C supplement (1000 mg per teaspoon), developed with a liposomal delivery system for enhanced bioavailability. Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is an essential nutrient that the body cannot produce on its own. It contributes to various bodily functions, such as the normal functioning of the immune system and the protection of cells against oxidative damage (free radicals). In this formula, the vitamin C is encapsulated in small lipid spheres (liposomes) to improve stability and absorption in the body.
The vitamin C source is Quali-C® (Sodium Ascorbate), known for its purity and stability. Liposomal Vitamin C is also GMO-free and contains, in addition to water and glycerol (as stabilizers), an emulsion of soy lecithin. A small percentage of lemon oil is added for a fresh flavor. The product is tested vegan, soy protein-free (contains soy lecithin), and gluten-free.

Why Choose Liposomal Vitamin C by Quicksilver Scientific?
Optimal Absorption with Liposomes
In a liposomal product, nutrients are enclosed in microscopic lipid spheres, improving absorption. This is particularly beneficial for vitamin C, which can otherwise be partially degraded in the gut or liver. This liposomal formula claims to achieve higher blood levels of vitamin C without the need for intravenous administration.
