Benefits of Elderberry and Vitamin C
As mentioned, the elderberry superfood complex and vitamin C are the primary ingredients in the Pique Daily Radiance supplement.
And there are a number of researched benefits of elderberry and vitamin C.
For example, elderberry is known to contain various vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients that improve immune system function. And this can help reduce the severity of colds, flu, hay fever, and other respiratory illnesses and infections.
Additionally, elderberry contains anthocyanins and other antioxidants, which help reduce inflammation and may offer protection against obesity and inflammatory-related conditions.
Moreover, elderberry seems effective for helping to prevent various cardiovascular diseases and diabetes, in part due to its effects on blood pressure, blood sugar, and inflammation.

Let’s not forget about vitamin C either. Vitamin C also has potent antioxidant effects and helps to reduce inflammation, improve immune function, and fight off infections.
Plus, vitamin C boosts collagen synthesis. And this effect, in combination with reducing oxidative stress, may make it beneficial for skin health.
My Experience with Pique Elderberry Liposomal Vitamin C
I took Pique Daily Radiance Elderberry Liposomal Vitamin C for a while and definitely noticed some benefits.
Flavor
Pique Daily Radiance comes in a packet form, and I noticed it was really easy to take. And it tasted quite good too.
It was sweet, but it still seemed very natural-tasting and without any “synthetic” vibes that are common in supplements. The sweetness was likely due to the inclusion of organic fruit concentrates, such as organic apple juice concentrate.
Results
Also, after taking Pique Elderberry Liposomal Vitamin C for a while, I noticed a decent improvement in skin quality and just seemed to have a greater feeling of physical health and vitality.
I haven’t gotten sick in a while either, and who knows, that could be due in part to taking this supplement too.
Digestive Comfort
I also liked that this supplement was very easy on my stomach.
Many times, vitamin C in particular can cause an upset stomach. But Pique uses liposomal vitamin C in the form of sodium ascorbate, which is a buffered, non-acidic form of vitamin C that is generally easier on the stomach.
Conclusion
All in all, I found Pique Daily Radiance Elderberry Liposomal Vitamin C to be a very beneficial supplement.
Pique Daily Radiance uses highly absorbable forms of all of their ingredients. And both elderberry and liposomal vitamin C are very well-researched and proven to offer many health benefits.
On top of that, I found that this supplement was very easy to take and was gentle on my stomach.
Overall, it was one of the better elderberry supplements I’ve tried.
