HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Liposomal Vitamin C Liquid Gel 1100 mg by Supplements Studio
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This supplement is a single-ingredient product: 1,100 mg of vitamin C per capsule, delivered in a liposomal liquid gel form. Liposomal means the vitamin C is wrapped in tiny fat-based particles designed to help your body absorb it.
The capsule also contains several inactive ingredients (fillers and binders): hypromellose, sunflower lecithin, medium-chain triglycerides, orange oil, beeswax, and water.
Does it work?
Strong evidence
Vitamin C is effective for treating vitamin C deficiency. It's rated possibly effective for anemia of chronic disease, atrial fibrillation, cataracts, and exercise-induced respiratory infections, though the evidence for those uses isn't as strong.
The data we hold doesn't establish effectiveness for any other condition.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Vitamin C is generally well tolerated at normal dietary and supplement doses. At very high doses, though, you may experience abdominal cramps, heartburn, diarrhea, headache, nausea, or vomiting—especially above 2 grams daily.
If you're prone to kidney stones, high-dose vitamin C can increase that risk. Rare cases of serious kidney damage have occurred with very high intravenous doses.
For pregnancy and lactation, the safety data is mixed: normal amounts from food and prenatal vitamins are fine, but high-dose supplements should be avoided unless your doctor says otherwise. The data on lactation says it's possibly unsafe at high doses—talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're breastfeeding and thinking about this product.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before you start this supplement, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take estrogens (birth control or hormone therapy), warfarin or other blood thinners, levothyroxine or other thyroid medications, or any chemotherapy drugs—especially alkylating agents like cyclophosphamide or antitumor antibiotics like doxorubicin. Also mention it if you take antipsychotics, HIV medications like indinavir, or aluminum-containing compounds.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with strong clinical evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This product is a straightforward way to get a high dose of vitamin C if you have a deficiency or want to try it for one of the possibly effective uses (like cataracts or exercise-related colds). But it does interact with estrogens, warfarin, levothyroxine, and some chemotherapy drugs, so you'll need to check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding it to your routine if you take any of those.
If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, talk it over with your healthcare provider first.

Liposomal Vitamin C Liquid Gel 1100 mg by Supplements Studio Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Supplements Studio's Liposomal Vitamin C Liquid Gel does interact with medications.
The vitamin C in this product can affect how your body handles estrogens (like birth control pills and hormone therapy), warfarin (a blood thinner), levothyroxine (thyroid medication), and several chemotherapy drugs. The most serious documented interaction is with estrogens: vitamin C may raise blood levels of these hormones by up to 55% under some circumstances, which could change how well your birth control or hormone therapy works.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Vitamin C at this dose can also reduce how well warfarin works at preventing blood clots, lower indinavir (an HIV medication) levels, and theoretically interfere with chemotherapy drugs like alkylating agents and antitumor antibiotics that rely on free radicals to kill cancer cells. One case report showed it reduced fluphenazine (an antipsychotic) levels in a patient, though more data is needed on that one.
The product can also increase how much aluminum your body absorbs from aluminum-containing compounds.
Altogether, these interactions span 207 individual medications. If you take any of these drug types—or any prescription medication at all—run it through the search tool on this page before you start this supplement.
Your doctor or pharmacist can help you figure out whether it's okay for you.

For each ingredient in Liposomal Vitamin C Liquid Gel 1100 mg with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Vitamin C
Alkylating Agents
Theoretically, antioxidant effects of vitamin C might reduce the effectiveness of alkylating agents.
The use of antioxidants like vitamin C during chemotherapy is controversial. There is concern that antioxidants could reduce the activity of chemotherapy drugs that generate free radicals, such as cyclophosphamide, chlorambucil, carmustine, busulfan, and thiotepa. In contrast, some researchers theorize that antioxidants might make chemotherapy more effective by reducing oxidative stress that could interfere with apoptosis (cell death) of cancer cells. More evidence is needed to determine what effect, if any, antioxidants such as vitamin C have on chemotherapy.
Aluminum
Vitamin C can increase the amount of aluminum absorbed from aluminum compounds.
Research in animals and humans shows that vitamin C increases aluminum absorption, theoretically by chelating aluminum and keeping it in solution where it is available for absorption. In people with normal renal function, urinary excretion of aluminum will likely increase, making aluminum retention and toxicity unlikely. Patients with renal failure who take aluminum-containing compounds such as phosphate binders should avoid vitamin C supplements in doses above the recommended dietary allowances.
Antitumor Antibiotics
Theoretically, the antioxidant effects of vitamin C might reduce the effectiveness of antitumor antibiotics.
The use of antioxidants like vitamin C during chemotherapy is controversial. There is concern that antioxidants could reduce the activity of chemotherapy drugs which generate free radicals, such as doxorubicin. In contrast, some researchers theorize that antioxidants might make chemotherapy more effective by reducing oxidative stress that could interfere with apoptosis (cell death) of cancer cells. More evidence is needed to determine what effects, if any, antioxidants such as vitamin C have on chemotherapy.
Estrogens
Vitamin C might increase blood levels of estrogens.
Increases in plasma estrogen levels of up to 55% occur under some circumstances when vitamin C is taken concurrently with oral contraceptives or hormone replacement therapy, including topical products. It is suggested that vitamin C prevents oxidation of estrogen in the tissues, regenerates oxidized estrogen, and reduces sulfate conjugation of estrogen in the gut wall. When tissue levels of vitamin C are high, these processes are already maximized and supplemental vitamin C does not have any effect on estrogen levels. Increases in plasma estrogen levels may occur when patients who are deficient in vitamin C take supplements. Monitor these patients for estrogen-related side effects.
Fluphenazine (Prolixin)
Theoretically, vitamin C might decrease levels of fluphenazine.
In one patient there was a clinically significant decrease in fluphenazine levels when vitamin C (500 mg twice daily) was started. The mechanism is not known, and there is no further data to confirm this interaction.
Indinavir (Crixivan)
Vitamin C can modestly reduce indinavir levels.
One pharmacokinetic study shows that taking vitamin C 1 gram orally once daily along with indinavir 800 mg orally three times daily reduces the area under the concentration-time curve of indinavir by 14%. The mechanism of this interaction is unknown, but it is unlikely to be clinically significant in most patients. The effect of higher doses of vitamin C on indinavir levels is unknown.
Levothyroxine (Synthroid, Others)
Vitamin C can increase levothyroxine absorption.
Two clinical studies in adults with poorly controlled hypothyroidism show that swallowing levothyroxine with a glass of water containing vitamin C 500-1000 mg in solution reduces thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels and increases thyroxine (T4) levels when compared with taking levothyroxine alone. This suggests that vitamin C increases the oral absorption of levothyroxine, possibly due to a reduction in pH.
Warfarin (Coumadin)
High-dose vitamin C might reduce the levels and effectiveness of warfarin.
Vitamin C in high doses may cause diarrhea and possibly reduce warfarin absorption. There are reports of two people who took up to 16 grams daily of vitamin C and had a reduction in prothrombin time. Lower doses of 5-10 grams daily can also reduce warfarin absorption. In many cases, this does not seem to be clinically significant. However, a case of warfarin resistance has been reported for a patient who took vitamin C 500 mg twice daily. Cessation of vitamin C supplementation resulted in a rapid increase in international normalized ratio (INR). Tell patients taking warfarin to avoid taking vitamin C in excessively high doses (greater than 10 grams daily). Lower doses may be safe, but the anticoagulation activity of warfarin should be monitored. Patients who are stabilized on warfarin while taking vitamin C should avoid adjusting vitamin C dosage to prevent the possibility of warfarin resistance.
Acetaminophen (Tylenol, Others)
High-dose vitamin C might slightly prolong the clearance of acetaminophen.
A small pharmacokinetic study in healthy volunteers shows that taking high-dose vitamin C (3 grams) 1.5 hours after taking acetaminophen 1 gram slightly increases the apparent half-life of acetaminophen from around 2.3 hours to 3.1 hours. Ascorbic acid competitively inhibits sulfate conjugation of acetaminophen. However, to compensate, elimination of acetaminophen glucuronide and unconjugated acetaminophen increases. This effect is not likely to be clinically significant.
Aspirin
Acidification of the urine by vitamin C might increase aspirin levels.
It has been suggested that acidification of the urine by vitamin C could increase reabsorption of salicylates by the renal tubules, and increase plasma salicylate levels. However, short-term use of up to 6 grams daily of vitamin C does not seem to affect urinary pH or salicylate excretion, suggesting this interaction is not clinically significant.
Choline Magnesium Trisalicylate (Trilisate)
Acidification of the urine by vitamin C might increase choline magnesium trisalicylate levels.
It has been suggested that acidification of the urine by vitamin C could increase reabsorption of salicylates by the renal tubules, and increase plasma salicylate levels. However, short-term use of up to 6 grams daily of vitamin C does not seem to affect urinary pH or salicylate excretion, suggesting this interaction probably is not clinically significant.
Niacin
Vitamin C might decrease the beneficial effects of niacin on high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels.
A combination of niacin and simvastatin (Zocor) effectively raises HDL cholesterol levels in patients with coronary disease and low HDL levels. Clinical research shows that taking a combination of antioxidants (vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene, and selenium) along with niacin and simvastatin (Zocor) attenuates this rise in HDL, specifically the HDL-2 and apolipoprotein A1 fractions, by more than 50% in patients with coronary disease. It is not known whether this adverse effect is due to a single antioxidant such as vitamin C, or to the combination. It also is not known whether it will occur in other patient populations.
Salsalate (Disalcid)
Acidification of the urine by vitamin C might increase salsalate levels.
It has been suggested that acidification of the urine by vitamin C could increase reabsorption of salicylates by the renal tubules, and increase plasma salicylate levels. However, short-term use of up to 6 grams/day vitamin C does not seem to affect urinary pH or salicylate excretion, suggesting this interaction probably is not clinically significant.
