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.
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 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 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.
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.
