The Benefits Of Using The Liposomal Encapsulation Technology

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.

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.

In this technology, phospholipid membrane (liposome) is used to encase a prescribed amount of pharmaceutical compounds with the aim of preventing their degradation as they pass through the gastrointestinal tract. This option offers an excellent transfer mechanism that is not available with other drug administration methods. The method is now used in other fields other than in clinical therapies. These include supplement manufacturers, topical moisturizers and the beauty product manufacturers among others.

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 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 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.

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.
