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.

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 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 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.

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.
