What is Quicksilver Scientific Vitamin C with R-Lipoic Acid?
Quicksilver Scientific Vitamin C with R-Lipoic Acid is a liposomal liquid supplement containing 500 mg of Quali-C vitamin C (as European sodium ascorbate) and 25 mg of sodium R-lipoate per 2 mL serve. The formula is delivered in a phospholipid liposomal matrix and dispensed via a metered pump bottle.
This formulation uses the buffered sodium ascorbate form of vitamin C alongside sodium R-lipoate, the sodium salt form of R-lipoic acid. Quicksilver Scientific produces this product under NSF GMP-certified conditions. It is tested as vegan, gluten-free, allergen-free, non-GMO, soy protein-free, and sugar-free. The product requires refrigeration after opening and is shipped with ice packs.
Why This Formulation / How It Works
Most oral vitamin C supplements use standard ascorbic acid in tablet or powder form. This product uses sodium ascorbate, a buffered form that is less acidic than standard ascorbic acid, and delivers it in a liposomal phospholipid matrix via a metered pump. The liposomal format encapsulates the active compounds within phospholipid vesicles. The vitamin C used is Quali-C, a European-sourced sodium ascorbate.
The R-lipoic acid component is provided as sodium R-lipoate rather than the more common racemic alpha-lipoic acid (a mixture of R and S forms). Sodium R-lipoate is the sodium salt of the naturally occurring R-isomer. The product is manufactured in an NSF GMP-certified facility and is free from common allergens, soy protein, gluten, and sugar. Refrigeration is required to maintain stability after opening.
Vitamin C is found throughout body tissues and functions as a cofactor in several enzymatic reactions, including collagen hydroxylation pathways. R-lipoic acid is found in mitochondria, where it functions as a cofactor in the pyruvate dehydrogenase and alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase enzyme complexes.
When to Consider This
This is a practitioner-grade liposomal vitamin C and R-lipoic acid supplement. Speak with your healthcare provider about whether it’s appropriate for you.
⚠️ Not suitable for: Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals without prior physician consultation. Consult a healthcare professional before use if taking medications or managing a health condition.

Common Questions
Does this product need to be refrigerated?
Yes. The product is shipped with ice packs and must be refrigerated upon receipt. Use within 30 days of opening.
What is the difference between sodium R-lipoate and standard alpha-lipoic acid?
Standard alpha-lipoic acid supplements typically contain a racemic mixture of R and S isomers. Sodium R-lipoate is the sodium salt of the R-isomer only, which is the form found naturally in the body.
Is this product suitable for vegans?
Yes. Quicksilver Scientific tests this product as vegan, and it is also tested gluten-free, allergen-free, soy protein-free, and non-GMO.
