What The Liposomal Encapsulation Means To Clinical Therapy

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.

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.

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 is used come up with a defense that is capable of repelling the negative impacts that can result from the body radicals, digestive juices, the alkaline solutions, and even salts. Since the protection only lasts when the compounds are on the way to their target to the moment they reach the targeted tissue, the cells in the targeted tissue immediately allows the compound in and transfers the same into the intracellular space making the method so effective.

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.

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 also comes with its advantages, the most common one being its anti aging properties. This is through its ability to cut down on serum lipids, decrease bad cholesterol, increase good cholesterol, and amplify red blood cell fluidity, decrease platelet aggregation, and triglyceride. It is also known to boost immunity, memory quality, exercise tolerance and offers liver protection among several other benefits.

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.
