By Linda Ruiz


If you compare a liposome and a normal cell, you cannot see any difference. This is the reason why it is widely used in the medical and science fields. It can also be used in various ways depending on the target. Like most cells, they tend to have a very identical cell wall which commonly known as lipids.

It may sound like a new discovery but no, it is first discovered on 1961 by Alec Bangham, a British researcher. Right after the discovery, scientists become more obsessed about it and keep on researching for some possible ways to maximize its use. Liposomal formulation sprouted from different parts of the globe having one purpose, to improve how genetic experiments work and develop a new way of medication.

If you are concerned why it was named like that, it actually is two Greek words combined. The first one is Lipos which basically means fat and then Soma which means body. If you think about it, it does not make sense at all. Anyway, a liposome can be created in different forms or even sizes.

Commonly, this kind of modernized cell is used as a carrier of medicines which will target a specific cell in our body to heal it. Keep in mind that this not always the case, it can also be used to carry DNA, vaccines and whatsoever. Usually, this can be done by injecting it into the body.

In most laboratories, they use it to transfer a DNA to a specific cell. This will give researchers safe alternative rather than using specific kinds of viruses or bacteria to alter the genes. Some experiments suggest that it can also be used to deliver gene therapy. This method will replace the damaged DNA up to entire chromosomes.

Though medicine and the scientific field are greatly affected with this wonderful discovery, cosmetics are also doing their best as well to make use of the substance. You might not know notice it, but this substance is in our everyday moisturizer. Companies that are too proud about it, even put a big label of liposome in their product. This will greatly help them gain more customers as well as a huge amount of profit.

Most individual but not all, tend to eat foods that are not too nutritious. But we cannot deny that, most of these foods even though not that healthy, taste very good. Since this is inevitable, a lot of individuals take food supplements to supply the needs of their body. Most conventional supplements are tablet made but if you prefer for a more effective one, a liposome based vitamins are good for you.

In fact, liposomes tend to have higher absorption compared to the tablet ones. Which basically suggest that, if you take in vitamins and food supplements via the liposom then it is quickly absorbed by the body and take effect right after that. Although, a tablet may not cost that much compared to it.

Health is our wealth and keeping our body healthy is our job. If you might consider buying this kind of medicine, ensure that it is prescribed by a doctor. This will give you an idea on what is the perfect medicine for you.
