Advantages Of Using Liposomal Encapsulation In Administering Substances In The Body

By Linda Ruiz


Loposomes are fluid filled cavities made from phospholipids. They are artificially prepared. It was discovered long time ago that through these structures many vital substances could be administered in the body safely. With liposomal encapsulation, it is a technology that has taken advantage of these structures and developed new ways in administering nutrients to human body.

Being a natural structure, liposomes carry a lot of benefits to those who use this technology. Resembling the human cell membrane, it takes advantage of this feature and attaches to the cell to administer compounds inside the human cell. This is one of the most important inventions made, as it has no dangerous side effects. It is purely made from phospholipids. This makes it work as if it is a cell membrane.

Companies on various products have already employed it. With this technology the lipids in humans serum are reduced, cholesterol levels are also properly controlled, and it reduces blood clotting by minimizing platelets aggregation. There are also other advantages such as doing physical activities without feeling fatigued or getting muscle strains. It also assists in lowering peripheral cholesterol deposits.

The very fundamental thing about this method compared to the others is that it permits a nutrient to carry power packed and undestroyed natural compounds to specific tissues and organs. Administration of compounds through other method normally has the doses reduced. But, this is not a major issue since drugs are maximally absorbed through this method.

The most vital feature of such technology over the other many ways available is that it allows a nutrient to be power-packed as well as remain in non-decomposed natural form until it travels to the targeted tissue or organ. The doses delivered may be reduced by about five to fifteen times than normal amounts. However, the effectiveness of the supplements does not change. This makes it affordable and also medically safe as only right doses are administered.

In normal intake of supplements and drug substances, there are a lot of barriers and obstacles that may affect or even inhibit absorption of such substances. If they are administered through the skin, bad weather conditions, oxygen, temperature, and other environmental conditions may reduce their quantity and quality before reaching the targeted organ. If it is done through the oral route, there are normally combination of acids and some gut enzymes that degrade and digest them before they are absorbed in body.

An good example of LETs procedure is in administering vitamin C. Some few animals and humans can synthesize this vitamin. However, a wide variety of animals can synthesize it in their livers as well as kidneys. Most of the mammals, excluding apes, humans, and guinea pigs, can release vitamin C from their livers. People who lack this vitamin can use this method to administer it in body.

After reaching the target tissue, the substances are immediately taken in by the body cellular structure. Thereafter, they are moved to the intra-cellular body space. People taking supplements like those of protein, carbohydrates, or protective foods should use this method. Because some of them have low absorption and tend to reduce in efficiency when taken through the normal routes, it is normally good to use this method since it provides good results.
