The Liposomal Encapsulation Technology And Its Benefits

By Kristen Baird


The use of liposome in clinical medicine first came to trial in the 1960s, and research and clinical trials that have since followed made sure that this amazing technological evolution can now be applied for both clinical therapy and in other aspect of life. However, the liposomal encapsulation technology (LET) is still in its early stages of development, with little information known to the wider public.

There is a general concurrence in the field of medicine and in the area of science as a whole that LET is the technology that is most likely to replace the capsule, needles, serum, and tablets as the most preferred method of drug administration. The clinical trials have demonstrated with no doubt that LET offers a unique solution in the treatment of racehorse with no need of needles.

The technology uses phospholipid film or liposome to encase the desired compounds and transport them safely through the gastrointestinal tract without exposing the content to the environmental factors like the moisture, the enzymes, the salts and any other substance within body tissues. Currently, the technology has attracted other users apart from the pharmacists. The beauty product industries and the supplement industries are now turning to LET as an alternative to the conventional methods previously used for the administration of these substances into the body tissues.

Phospholipid liposome can withstand the effect of anyone radicals, especially the chemicals, the body dampness, the basic liquids, and the salts inside the digestive tract. The substance enclosed is therefore secured till it gets to the targeted tissue where the cell walls of the tissue cells open allowing the phospholipids and its content inside. The result is a superb method of drug therapy that has minimum impact to functionality of normal body system.

The technology is so effective since it stems from the ability of liposomes to penetrate the cell walls and most other infective microorganisms. This gives it a winning advantage against most of pathogenic infections. In recent research findings, it was established that only 5 grams of Vitamin C that is enclosed in liposome is as effective as up to 50 grams of the same that is administered directly without the liposome casing.

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 with all these potential advantages, the studies are not conclusive of the safety of this technology. It is also advisable to design the most effective drug administration that is a cocktail of this and other conventional methods that have been used for centuries to attain the best results.
