The Liposomal Encapsulation Technology And Its Benefits

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.

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 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.

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.
