The health supplements we produce are based on the science of liposomes.Founder and CEO, Dr. Christopher Shade is the driving force of Quicksilver Scientific. He earned his B.S. and M.S. degrees in environmental and aqueous chemistry from Lehigh University and his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois, where he studied metal-ligand interactions in the environment and specialized in the environmental and analytical chemistries of mercury. During this time, Dr. Shade patented an analytical technology for mercury speciation analysis and later founded Quicksilver Scientific as a way to commercialize this technology.
Liposomes are made of phospholipids—the basic building blocks of cell membranes—and encapsulate nutritional compounds. This beneficial combination promotes healthy cellular function. Our liposomes are tiny and therefore absorb rapidly, starting in the mouth, and once in the bloodstream, these encapsulating phospholipids bond with cell membranes to facilitate intracellular delivery. We engineer our phospholipids to encapsulate compounds and capitalize on oral delivery. Their size and structure also keep them from being destroyed by the digestive processes, which normally degrades or limits compound absorption. Being made from the highest-grade ingredients and formed into smaller, single-layer spheres, our products have been shown to have the ability to cross the blood-barrier and increase the lymphatic circulation of our therapeutic nutrients. And as our scientific research progresses, we are continuing to develop into one of the industry’s leading health supplement wholesalers.
The heavy metal testing of Quicksilver Scientific helps identify mercury toxicity, which informs how well a person's mercury detoxification system is functioning. And our unique system of products is based on the many benefits of liposomes, which we design to repair and then maximize the natural detoxification system. Latest News + Events The Use of Glutathione, Master Antioxidant in Clinical Settings Quicksilver Scientific will be at this year's Arnold EXPO March 2nd-5th Quicksilver Scientific Launches First Liposomal Multi-Vitamin Quicksilver in the News:Early European sailors and explorers suffered, and sometimes perished, from a wasting condition known as scurvy, a disease we now know is caused by vitamin C deficiency. As it turns out, it was the lack of fresh fruit and vegetables on long ocean voyages that often lead to this strange condition. In the 18th century, English physicians identified that certain plants and fruits contained a tonic, or factor (vitamin C, as it turns out) which prevented the scourges of scurvy: everything from tooth loss, skin disorders, and mental breakdown to appetite loss, diarrhea, fever and irritability.
In bad cases, vitamin C deficiency leads to bleeding, paralysis, and even death. Humans, unlike most other animals, cannot make vitamin C in our bodies, and must consume it in foods or supplements. Now known as the “grandfather” of the traditional antioxidants, vitamin C has a wide range of astonishing health benefits and plays a pivotal role in enhancing detoxification. Here are a few excellent reasons to supplement your diet with vitamin C: Given the extraordinary amount of research indicating vitamin C’s ability to promote healthy detoxification and longevity, it’s important to consume the most effective and convenient means of supplementation. The human body does not make vitamin C, and it must come from diet or supplementation. Research shows that the degree of absorption of traditional vitamin C supplements decreases as intake increases. At high intake, human absorption of ascorbic acid may be as low as 33%, though it has been shown to be as high as 90% absorbed in oral liposomes.
Quicksilver Scientific uses a phospholipid encapsulation system for Liposomal vitamin C that improves upon basic liposomal technology with smaller, more stable, tightly distributed, single-layer spheres (called unilamellar vessicles) made from the highest-grade ingredients available. These small vesicles begin absorbing as soon as they hit your mouth, ensuring high absorption of vitamin C before it is altered by the harsh processes in the stomach and intestines. Quicksilver Scientific has effectively improved upon the high-tech equipment, rigorous processes, and tight particle-size controls used by pharmaceutical companies and has created a superior, new category of liposomal products: Quicksilver Delivery Systems™.
