The Benefits Of Using The Liposomal Encapsulation Technology

By Kristen Baird


The science of liposome can be traced back to mid-1960s, and is therefore considered very new in clinical medicine. Even with a lot of research and the knowledge that currently exists; this science is still in its trial stages. Liposomal encapsulation technology (LET) has been taunted as the next big thing in the clinical medicine.

Many scientists, researchers and industrialist alike agree that this technology is likely to revolutionize the oral pharmacological therapy and may soon be in realm of use by any common man. Currently, it provides a safer and a unique way of treating the racehorse without having to use the syringes and 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 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 effectiveness of this technology relies on the fact that liposomes easily penetrate cell walls and many other infectious biofilms, which allows for a highly effective delivery system against these pathological infections. Research has found that 5 grams of Vitamin C encased in liposomes is as effective as 50 grams of Vitamin C that is delivered intravenously demonstrating how effective this technology is in terms of delivery of compounds to the targeted tissues.

The LET is a clinical therapy that is associated with numerous strengths as compared to most commonly used drug administration methods. The nutrients and active ingredients are transported directly to the point of the target, leaving little or no interference with the normal body functioning such as blood pressure, the balanced body pH, and other normal metabolic functions. This makes a lot of sense for the patient is able to recover with fewer side effects associated with the drug. It also comes with economic sense as it cuts down on the cost of clinical therapy.

The use of phospholipids also comes with numerous benefits to the body. It cuts down on serum lipids, decreases platelet aggregation, bad cholesterol, triglyceride, and increases good cholesterol, and the fluidity of red blood cells gets amplified. In addition to these, it helps boost immunity, improves quality of memory, protects the liver and improves the ability of the body to endure exercise.

LET comes with a number of benefits, but it is still advisable to consider all other therapy alternatives available and come up with the best and most comprehensive method to administer drugs.
