An exploration of the science behind nutritional formulations, the technologies used to deliver them and the details worth understanding.

More Than What Goes In
The thinking behind Quicksilver Scientific
A nutritional formulation begins with ingredients, but its development does not necessarily end there. The form in which a nutrient is presented, its stability and the way it interacts with the digestive environment can all influence its delivery.
This is a central consideration in the approach taken by Quicksilver Scientific. Founded by Dr Chris Shade, the company has developed a range of nutritional formulations using technologies such as liposomes, nanoemulsions and other lipid-based delivery systems.
Liposomes are microscopic structures formed from phospholipids. They can be used to carry selected compounds, while nanoemulsion systems offer another method of dispersing ingredients. Their suitability and performance depend on the particular formulation; no delivery system guarantees the same result for every nutrient.
Across its wider collection, Quicksilver Scientific applies different formulation approaches to antioxidant nutrients, vitamins, fatty acids and topical skincare. The variety offers an interesting perspective on how ingredient selection and delivery technologies can work together.
What goes into a formulation matters.
How it is delivered deserves equal attention.

Beyond the Formula
Ingredients tell part of the story. The choices surrounding their preparation, composition and delivery offer another perspective on the thinking behind a formulation.
Our exploration of Quicksilver Scientific is only a glimpse into a much broader collection.
