Liposomal Encapsulation Can Serve To Make Medicines More Effective

By Ida Dorsey


Sometime, you need something far more specific, than just an over the counter pain relief pill. Liposomal encapsulation technology even has a do it yourself group. This is where they get together and throw out new ideas and report on results. It was found that by doing it this way one does not have to go through the complex route of formulating drug carrying liposomes. These are more commonly carried out in laboratories around the world.

The founder Mr Brooks Bradley showed that by combining water, lecithin and vitamin c together and then adding this little mixture to an ultrasonic bath it can produce a medical product. A simple recipe on how to make liposomes involves lecithin getting dissolved in a solvent. This could be chloroform or acetone and then once it has evaporated it will leave a thin layer on the container.

The normal method when taking these in tablet, liquid or even powders form many do not get processed by the body therefore not getting absorbed like they should. These liposomes are made from essential phospholipids helping to protect the nutrient from getting destroyed by the digestive juices. There is a much higher success rate when used this way that the vitamin will be directed into the bloodstream and therefore into the cells.

The reason that people need to have vitamin C in their diet is because it helps to protect the cells from damage that is caused by free radicals. These radicals make their way through the body into the cells causing tissue damage, some diseases as well as aging. They are very unstable and in order to survive need to bond with other molecules which will damage the healthier ones even more.

All cancer cells tend to divide much quicker than the healthy cells and chemotherapy drugs are effective in targeting them. Even the fast growing healthy cells will be damaged in the process. With all the different cancer drugs out there just about every one of them has some bad side effects.

The factors that play a role when it comes to the side effects can be ones age, lifestyle as well as the treatment they are getting and health issues before getting sick. In some cases once the treatment has ended so the side effects will diminish but in a few cases it will never go away. Some of these drugs are so strong that they affect the cells in the digestive tract, mouth, bone marrow as well as the hair follicles and reproductive system.

Having been diagnosed with cancer a blood count is done which is a very important part of the therapy. This is because they can harm the cells that are situated in the bone marrow, where blood is produced. Everyone knows that the red blood cells are the ones that ensure that oxygen is delivered to the tissues. Without this one can get anaemia which can make one feel exhausted.

Liposomal encapsulation employs a phospholipids liposome to create a resistance that repels the unhelpful actions of the digestive juices as well as the free radicals of the body. These kinds of protection will last from the time the nutrients reach the GI tract until the contents has reached its target. They are absorbed by the cells and transferred into the intracellular spaces.
