THE VITAMIN YOUR BODY CAN'T MAKE
Most animals make their own vitamin C. People can't, so every bit we use has to come from food or supplements. Your body relies on it to build collagen, the protein that gives structure to skin, joints and blood vessels, and it's one of the main water-soluble antioxidants in your cells.¹
Liposomes are tiny bubbles made of phospholipids that wrap around the vitamin C. In a study comparing the same 4 g dose, liposomal vitamin C raised blood levels of vitamin C more than plain vitamin C did.²
WHY WE CARRY IT
Almost everything on our shelves is made by us. When we do carry another company's product, it's because it fills a spot in your routine that we think matters and we trust how it's made. Quicksilver Scientific is a Colorado company known for its work with liposomal delivery.
We tried just about every liposomal vitamin C out there before choosing this one. Most of them taste pretty rough. This one tastes like an orange creamsicle, which is a big part of why it's the one we actually keep taking.
HEALTHY IMMUNE FUNCTION
Vitamin C collects in immune cells and plays a part in how they do their job.¹
COLLAGEN SUPPORT
Your body needs vitamin C to build collagen for skin, joints and blood vessels.¹
BUILT TO ABSORB
In a head-to-head study, liposomal vitamin C raised blood levels more than the same dose of plain vitamin C.²
Frequently Asked Questions
-
One teaspoon (5 mL) is one serving, with 1,000 mg of vitamin C. Each bottle holds 24 servings.
-
Bright and citrusy, a lot like an orange creamsicle. It's the best-tasting liposomal vitamin C we've found.
-
Holding it for 30 to 90 seconds before swallowing is how Quicksilver designed this formula to be taken, so it's worth the extra moment.
-
Liposomes are microscopic bubbles made from phospholipids, the same kind of material your cell membranes are made of. They wrap around the vitamin C to help it get absorbed.
-
You can stir it into a little water or juice if you prefer, though Quicksilver suggests holding it in your mouth first for the best absorption.
-
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding (here's why), have a health condition or take medication, check with your healthcare professional before use.

Cold keeps the liposomes stable once the bottle is open, so keep it in the fridge after opening.
