CARLSBAD, Calif., June 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Vitamin C is among the most commonly taken supplements on earth, yet roughly 42% of Americans have inadequate vitamin C levels, as many factors limit absorption, retention, and utilization of this essential nutrient. Qualia brand supplements is releasing their new formula Qualia Vitamin C+ to address the overlooked forms and cofactors that are critical to optimal vitamin C levels, with impressive clinical evidence supporting this new formulation.

“Most vitamin C products focus on dose alone, but absorption and utilization are just as critical” states Qualia CEO James Schmachtenberger. “In nature, vitamin C is never isolated. It’s normally paired with important cofactors, and obtained from diverse sources and forms. We formulated Qualia Vitamin C+ to more closely mimic how the body evolved to absorb and utilize vitamin C, and the clinical results are extremely encouraging.”

Qualia Vitamin C+ delivers 500 mg of vitamin C from seven distinct sources, including liposomal PureWay-C® and chelated Nutra-C®, both selected for their superior bioavailability compared to standard ascorbic acid. The formula also includes a whole-food superfruit complex featuring camu camu, acerola cherry, amla, and rose hip, and cofactors common to vitamin C in nature such as citrus bioflavonoids and ferulic acid to support vitamin C retention and function in the body.*

In a registered, placebo-controlled clinical study, participants taking Qualia Vitamin C+ demonstrated 25.7% higher blood vitamin C levels compared to the control group, lending additional credence that delivery, rather than dose alone, forms the fullest picture of optimal vitamin C supplementation.*^†

Vitamin C plays a central role in collagen synthesis, immune function, antioxidant defense, and neurological health, making effective delivery critical for supporting overall wellness, as natural production and physiological resilience often decline with age.*

Qualia Vitamin C+ becomes available in May at qualialife.com, and Qualia supplements can be found on Amazon and in select retailers such as GNC, Sprouts, and Vitaminshoppe.
