The Liposomal Encapsulation Technology And Its Benefits

By Kristen Baird


The utilization of liposome in medical sector started in the mid-1960s, and is currently regarded as one of the medical innovation in the 20th century. Though still young in clinical medicine, liposomal encapsulation technology simply referred to as LET has gained popularity as a possible replacement of most medical administration methods currently in place.

Unlike other methods like in the use of needles for injections, swallowing of tablets, capsules or even syrup where the drug or the substance has to directly pass through the body tissues that are not the direct target, leading to possible reactions, loss of concentration or even interfering with the normal body functions, this method of drug administration employs an ingenious solution to drug administration. In fact, clinical trials have proven that it is better way of treating racehorses without the need of needles or syringes.

LET in its simplest form describes a process of using a phospholipid membrane also known as liposome to encase a given amount of pharmaceutical compounds and sometimes herbs to protect them from degrading when passing through the gastrointestinal tract. It has an excellent transference capability, making it a preferred option, particularly for the providers of nutritional supplements, beauty products and the topical moisturizers.

Phospholipid liposome comes in to withstand the impact of anybody radicals, particularly the enzymes, the body moisture, the alkaline fluids, and the salts within the digestive tract. The compounds being introduced in the body are well protected all the way to the time they are delivered to the targeted organs or the tissue. At this point, a chain reaction takes place, allowing the cells to open up their walls, allowing the compound into the intracellular medium to commence the process of treatment.

The liposomes easily penetrate the cell walls of most living tissues; thereby turning out to be an effective weapon against most pathogens that are disease causing. Its effectiveness is also very highly rated with research findings indicating that 50 grams of Vitamin C delivered directly into the tissue is only as effective as 5 grams of the same delivered through the LET.

LET is a clinical treatment that is connected with various qualities as contrasted with most common medication techniques. The supplements and drug compounds are transported specifically to the point of target, leaving practically no impedance with the typical body working, including the circulatory system, the pH of the body, the blood pressure and other metabolic functionality.

The introduction of phospholipids into the body comes with its own merits. It eliminates serum lipids, diminishes platelet collection, cholesterol, triglyceride, and expands promotes good cholesterol. Notwithstanding this, it helps support immunity, enhances nature of memory, secures the liver and enhances one's capacity to persist exercise.

Even though the LET promises to be the most effective method of drug delivery, the old age methods such as capsules, tablets, powder forms and needles must still remain in use. These methods do not disrupt the blood flow in the system which is essential for physical fitness. Ideally, a comprehensive method that considers all the available methods would be better for any clinical therapy.
