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.
LET in its simplest form describes a process of using a phospholipid membrane also known as liposome to encase a given amount of pharmaceutical compounds and sometimes herbs to protect them from degrading when passing through the gastrointestinal tract. It has an excellent transference capability, making it a preferred option, particularly for the providers of nutritional supplements, beauty products and the topical moisturizers.
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 liposomes easily penetrate the cell walls of most living tissues; thereby turning out to be an effective weapon against most pathogens that are disease causing. Its effectiveness is also very highly rated with research findings indicating that 50 grams of Vitamin C delivered directly into the tissue is only as effective as 5 grams of the same delivered through the LET.
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 though the LET promises to be the most effective method of drug delivery, the old age methods such as capsules, tablets, powder forms and needles must still remain in use. These methods do not disrupt the blood flow in the system which is essential for physical fitness. Ideally, a comprehensive method that considers all the available methods would be better for any clinical therapy.
