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 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 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.
Clearly, the advantages of LET over the other forms of drug delivery are many. It allows nutrients to transport power packed natural compounds to the targeted tissues and organs without discomposing the same. This makes a lot of medical and economic sense. Normally, the drugs would be affected by a number of environmental factors as they pass to the tissues. These include oxygen, moisture, differing pH, and enzymes among others. This in addition to factors that affect absorption of nutrients into the body, such as fillers, sugars, binders, and sugar can cause a problem due to incomplete absorption.
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.
